Overall Thesis
TLT has broken a critical 3-year trend line with a confirmed sell signal, indicating a long-term bearish outlook with near-term support at $80.42 and potential downside targeting the mid-$70s.
Narratives
TLTiShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF
Strongly BearishThe analyst says TLT has broken a roughly three-year support trend line off the October 2023 low by more than his 1% confirmation threshold, establishing what he calls a long-term sell signal. He argues the path of least resistance is to the downside, driven by rising interest rates tied to fiscal deficits, persistent inflation, and geopolitical/oil price pressures.
Key Arguments
- TLT closed below a long-term trend line off the October 2023 low by more than a 1% margin, confirming a technical breakdown
- Price is also below the 2023 low, reinforcing the sell signal
- Fibonacci-based wave counts point to lower support zones in the mid-70s to upper-60s range
- Rising fiscal deficits (over $1.2 trillion annually), above-target inflation, Middle East uncertainty, and climbing oil prices support continued upward pressure on interest rates (and downward pressure on TLT)
Risks acknowledged
- A recession triggered by rising rates could cause interest rates to fall again, which would reverse the bearish pressure on TLT
