Bear Triangles Forming in the T-Notes and Bonds?

Financials: 12/30/10 Higher closes yesterday for the eurodollars, notes and bonds.The eurodollar finally closed above 9960(Mar.) giving me a BUY SIGNAL. Meanwhile the notes and bonds closed sharply higher but in what looks like BEAR TRIANGLES to me which means they’re most likely going to continue lower overall unless these continuation patterns fail. That would probably then give me buy signals. The odds are still lower overall. BUY.SIGNAL FOR THE EURODOLLARS. SELL SIGNALS FOR THE NOTES AND BONDS. CALL FOR DETAILS!
