$TLT, the ETF for long dated bonds just gapped up to break out of a bullish-reverse-head-n-shoulders pattern (daily chart). Also, the 21EMA is begging to cross the 50sma.
Oil is pulling into trend resistance. With weak growth data and the Fed set to hike next Wednesday, this may be the peak in oil, as for yields. A break in oil could be just what Stocks are looking for, considering stocks have already priced in recession.
