The move to the downside also fell below the swing high yields going back to June at 3.495%. On September 20, the yield moved above that level and based against it on September 21 before starting the climb to the high reached on October 21 at 4.335%
The 3.5% area was important in the past and the return to it has traders mulling the area again.
The question is “With the Fed looking toward 5% and potentially above to stop inflation, is 3.5% too low?”
The level will now be close resistance for traders.
On the downside, getting and staying below the 50% at 3.426% is the next downside hurdle.
