We advise to watch for ascending bear channel lines (1.93% in 10-years and 3.10% in bonds) – breaks of which could extend the rally while a close above 2.11% in 10-years opens up 2.30%.”

The Metals market initially rebounded though is now again trading negatively, continuing the trend after the last couple of sessions.
Moreover, “Our overnight Treasury flows saw light volume with bank buying in 10-years, bank paying in 10-years, and a money manager buying 10-yeas and 30-years. Overnight Treasury broker volume was 94% of the 10-day average.” they add.
