It breached our identified pivot and resistance levels at MTrend: 4.814, M1: 4.854, and M2: 4.905. This upward movement peaked on July 16, when the yield surpassed June’s high yield at PMH: 5.004, again achieving its monthly objective for July. The intra-month high was recorded at 5.079. Over the final eleven trading sessions, the market yield declined but did not reach our identified pivot level at MTrend: 4.814.
