What’s Up, What’s Down: Technically Bearish on Bonds and Natural Gas

Looking Ahead to Today by Reflecting Back at Monday’s Price Action
FINANCIALS:
Higher closes yesterday for the Eurodollars, unchanged for the notes and lower for the bonds. The Eurodollar continues in a sideways to higher trend since the middle January. The notes settled unchanged barely managing to not reverse and give me a sell signal while the bonds are still in a bear pennant. However, the notes still look weak on the charts.
ENERGIES:
Crude and heating oil along with the RBOB had their highest highs and closes in a month but natural gas had its lowest low and close in a month. This pretty much tells the story with three of the energies in uptrends and one in a downtrend for now.
