Bond rally nearing an end?

Quote from mcurto:

Hold long end shorts, good trade in terms of risk/reward with the curve in 2-10's looking to breakout above the +6 basis point level. A near 20 tick rally in the ten year and the curve can't flatten, that says a lot for the flattening move, maybe hitting the end of it, although lots of dealers willing to restablish flatteners at +6 in 2-10's cash. The two-year rally was nuts today as well, situation should alleviate as we hit supply in a couple weeks, until then hold on for the ride.
If the bounce continues until the end of the month, it is likely to do so in two phases where the first phase is a reaction to weak data and a realization that comments from the Fed on the economy's strength is about the first quarter in particular, with the rest of year expected to benefit from slower growth. That would be why we see more volatility-adjusted strength in shorter maturities today.

While the first phase would be about changing growth expectations, the second one would be about changing views on inflation -- markets are more likely to start a move (up or down) with a sudden reaction to growth data instead of price data. This means if oil prices don't go above $66 in the next few days and bonds continue to climb, we'll see markets reajusting their expectations about inflation (expectations that sent bonds 3 ticks down recently) and longer maturities will benefit the most at that point.

This is interesting.

My TA is displaying that we are near a top or have made a top in 2yr rates.

And, the 90day is not that far behind, maybe one more pop. The FED may be getting close to ending these regular increases at every meeting.

Still see long rates 10yr/30yr heading higher...

Looks like the 2yr rates broke today, while getting a counter rally in the long terms. Waiting for the 90day to follow.

In the 30yr, I see three waves down into the recent lows and this being a wave 4 rally that should last a few days or so, wave 5 should take it lower after this rally.
