MARCH TREASURY BONDS–12/21/2009

Published on 21 December 2009 by traderfutures in Treasuries

March Treasury Bonds are down 16/32 at 117:24 this morning as I write.  The included chart shows that following the one day rally last Thursday, the March T-Bond market has largely given back that rally Friday and today so far.  Still looming overhead is the double top at 123:00 and below is a double bottom in the 117:00 area.  The directional movement indicators are bearish but the ADX line is meandering sideways.  A close below the 117:00 area would be bearish and the downside target of the confirmed double top would be in the 110:00 to 111:00 area.  We shall see.  For now, I recommend holding our current positions.

 Followers should be:

 Long one March Bond (114:00 strike) put option from 2 12/64. (Cost basis of 28/64, or $437.50, if you include the buy back of the two short 110:00 put options on December 8th).

Long one March Bond (108:00 strike) put option from 52/64.  (Cost basis of 2/64, or $31.25, if you include the buy back of the two short 105:00 put options on December 8th).

Long one March Bond (117:00 strike) put option from 128/64.

Short one March Bond (113:00 strike) put option from 51/64.

March options expire in 60 days.
