Many investors seem to think that inflation is under control and interest rates are set to decline.
While this may be the longer term play, the short-term is looking a bit iffy… and active investors best keep an eye on the 10-Year Treasury Bond Yield.
The 10-Year yield has spent the past two months trading between 4% and 4.35%. But recently that trading range has narrowed and bumped up against 4.35 a couple times.
Should rates push higher (ie. breakout), it would likely throw a temporary wrench in the timeline of many economists/investors.

Here we can see the recent action on the 10-year yield. A breakout here could set up a run to the gap at 4.7%, and perhaps even a retest of 5.0%.
