If I do a calculation to get a measured target on the yield of the 30-year Treasury, I take the high of the pattern at 4.79% and subtract the low of the pattern at 4% to get 0.79%. I then subtract that from the breakdown at 3.95% to get a target near 3.16%. Now, since these numbers should be taken as areas and not exact readings I'd couch that target in the 3.15% to 3.20% area. But with the yield closing Monday at 3.24%, I'd say we're getting close to a bounce in yields. But at this point I'd call it just an oversold bounce.
