Chris Vermeulen observes that the current trading pattern of the 30-year bond is similar to 2007, just before the financial crisis, indicating potential trouble. He suggests that the Treasury's intervention aims to prevent a chart-indicated 8% move that could trigger a major financial crisis.
“The last time the 30-year bond traded like this was 2007, on the eve of the financial crisis.”
“I mean, the last time we saw the 30-year trade this long, this many times in a year was back in 2007, just before a financial crisis.”
“So that's why we're seeing the Treasury step in, they're going to try to not let this unwind and unfold because that is what the chart momentum, the trends, everything are showing.”
