Big Jump in Interest Rates Confirms Upside Breakout

Interest rates on long-dated Treasury securities will likely head higher and rise even more in Germany.

Resistance was broken to the upside with Wednesday?s rise in yields after the European Central Bank praised the impact of its latest European stimulus program and a weaker-than-expected Institute for Supply Management services report here. The yield, up three straight days, has risen in six of the past eight trading days.

Reinforcing the move, a 16-month trendline was broken to the upside, too. There is no major resistance to stop this rally until the September 2014 high of 2.64%.

The selloff in bond prices and commensurate rise in interest rates is not limited to U.S. Treasuries. Corporate bonds as represented by the iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (  LQD  ) show a sharper price break in April and move significant breakdown below support Wednesday. Municipal bonds represented by the iShares National AMT-Free Muni Bond ETF (  MUB  ) sport a completed head-and-shoulders topping pattern.

Greece on the brink of disaster?

Doesn't really matter....any pullback on Greece should be used as a buying opportunity.

Wait, ^VIX goes down in an up market right?  So if you sold naked calls, you're hoping for the ^VIX to dip which means you think the market is going higher?

Yes, the VIX typically go down when the market is up and/or flat.  With me selling naked VIX calls, I'm hoping that the market doesn't tank, it doesn't have to go up...it can drift lower and I'll still make money.
