Now trading under 1 year lows. Back to levels last seen January of '22.
TLT 3 months, daily candles and 15 days, 4hr candles 4hr oversold RSI yesterday, attempting a bounce off those levels today; more importantly looking to hold up off 3/29 support of 103.60.
Pushed under the 50 day MA(blue) yesterday, so if its going to pivot around here it shouldn't stay under there for long; Looking for something similar to the 3/27-3/30 period of price action where it pushed under for a couple days, then reclaimed/reversed.
