Interest Rates Going Forward

The rates on the 10-year Treasury Note correlates inversely with risk assets, such as stocks.  Why is this important?  Well, according to the following chart, the interest rate trend on the key 10-year Treasury Note is now up.  The infamous exponential moving average strategy has signaled a reversal in trend for the 10-year rates on Treasury Notes.  That is, the 15-week EMA has exceeded the 40-week EMA, which simply means that the trend for this key rate has shifted from a declining trend to a positive, rising, trend.  In addition, if 2.65% is penetrated, that will be a clear break of the downward resistance line from 2007 and further confirmation of a rising interest rate trend going forward.
