TNX.X – 10-Year Note Rate (Last:4.47%)

The chart shown provides little basis for determining with confidence whether long-term rates have peaked. We’ll know better once we’ve seen the downtrend that began a week ago from 4.81% interact with midpoint Hidden Pivot support at 4.24% (p, shown as a red line).  It would take a decisive penetration of the line on first contact to imply not only that Ten-Year rates have put in an important high near 5%, but that they are headed under 4%, possibly to as low as 3.67%, in 2025. If so, it is likely the U.S. economy will be deep in recession by that time.
