BOND

Leading off the BEGOS acronym is the Bond, representative of the cost of money. The Bond as analyzed is the U.S 30-Year Treasury Bond futures market as traded on the CME’s Chicago Board of Trade and Globex.

Market Value

When the Bond crosses its smooth Market Value line, we anticipate the price to continue in the same direction.  But when the price gets too far away from the Market Value line we are wary the trend may be ending.

Market Trend

These are the Bond’s daily bars for the last three months to-date. The blue dots (aka “Baby Blues”) denote trend consistency. When the blue dots break above their -80% axis, higher prices are anticipated. When the blue dots break below their +80% axis, lower price is anticipated.  Either way, the “Baby Blues” are a keen depiction of current trend.

Market Profile

The Bond’s Market Profile is essentially the amount of contract volume traded at every price point across the past 10 trading days, (i.e. two weeks). The longest lines are therefore indicative of price support and resistance. The colored lines represent the most recent trading day with the white bar as the last closing price.

Market Magnet

The Bond’s Magnet is the volume-weighted consensus price of the Bond’s Market Profile. Upon the Bond being “attracted” to and crossing the Magnet, we expect price to continue in the same direction. But when the price gets too far away from the Magnet, we anticipate price to be re-attracted to the Magnet.

Market Range

The “Expected Daily Trading Range” (EDTR) is a rational, acceptable estimate as to the number of points the Bond futures may span between the high and low for the ensuing trading day.  That number is inside the chart’s box.

Market Rhythm

The Bond’s best Market Rhythm at present is displayed in this Market Rhythm chart, its attributes as labeled.  When this Rhythm has been positive, the Bond’s price is shown in Green (i.e. Long), else when negative the price is shown in Red (i.e. Short).
