September 30 year U.S. Treasury bond:
1. As noted in today’s September 30 year U.S. Treasury bond update, the bond market would normally bottom on Friday, July 25 (+/-1 day) and test/attempt $137.15 (or lower) in the process.
2. Today’s (Thursday, July 24) session declined to a session low of $137.21 before closing the day at $137.28.
3. As you may know, a market in a strong uptrend will often not touch its normal downside price target ($137.15 in this case) due to the ongoing bullish forces. There is a possibility that this may be the case in the larger current bond market advance.
4. Therefore, due to the nearby price target of $137.15 and prudence, all but aggressive traders should exit their short position from $137.26 at current prices ($137.31). Aggressive can follow through with the trade as originally outlined.

2. Today’s September 30 year U.S. Treasury bond market advanced powerfully, further confirming the report. Will message any further entry or indication as the market confirms.
