Todayâs Chart of the Day was shared by Steve Strazza (@sstrazza). US Treasury yields accelerated higher across the curve today, with the 5-year, 10-year, and 30-year all closing at their highest in over a decade. Steve points out that the 10-year yield ($TNX) formed what’s known as a Breakaway Gap today. Breakaway Gaps occur when price gaps above resistance or below support. They symbolize a decisive resolution in the direction of the gap, and they’re often found in the early innings of a new trend. In this case, $TNX gapped above the October 2022 peak, completing an 11-month base. Momentum is confirming the breakout, with RSI reaching overbought (above 70) for the first time since March. Before today, $TNX had marginally broken out, but today’s pop adds conviction to the breakout.

Daily Mkt Mood: Risk-Off
1. Stocks tumble
2. $SPX -1.6% worst since March
3. S&P, nasdaq 100 thru 100 DMA
4. $VIX 17 handle
5. Ugly, ugly closeS&P sub 4335/ last low says no floor, more selling likely as range maybe breaks.
Russell 2000 looks awful well below 200 DMA.

Well done guys!
SPX has finally had a 1.5% decline — ending a streak of not having this type of decline since 2018 pic.twitter.com/J05acyNtD5

If the S&P closes at these levels, it'll be in a 5% selloff.
We've seen about two of these a year since 1950.

Thursdays are the worst days for a 1%+ down day when it comes to next-day performance. As shown, SPY declines of 1%+ on Thursdays (since 1993) have seen the next day average a decline of 0.04%. Every other weekday has averaged next-day gains. pic.twitter.com/sug09IS3kl

$SPY 63-day (quarterly) rate of change is now negative for the first time since May.
If this selloff continues, I'm looking at the confluence of the VWAP from its 2022 high and low converging about 5% below current levels. Also, several highs from earlier this year around ~415. pic.twitter.com/sKCeTY9ssN

Personally I don't trust a head & shoulders top unless there was a steep rally leading into it. Regardless, welcome to the next leg down. The $RSP projects a target of the March lows, or -10% from yesterday's close. pic.twitter.com/ZsYabS774F

Also a bigger reaction in the CBOE vol indices than the last time $SPX was down here. https://t.co/X6dzblqhRL pic.twitter.com/vlyPIWrHTU

$TNX Mr. Stock Market sure didn't like the jump in the rates today. You better hope this is a false break, like in 'from false breaks, rapid moves come'. The stock charts look awful & there is another 4-6% to go down before decent support. October can be rough too. pic.twitter.com/PtcomlwN0b

One month later and sheâs not looking so hot right now and ironically thatâs when the picture often changes for the better.
Expect the price action to get tricky from here. pic.twitter.com/T85AK3GUci
