The German 10 year yield moved to the lowest level since April 11 at 0.678% before rotating back to the upside.

The yield since the June 16 peak at 1.926% has seen the price decline to a low point today at 0.678%. That move of 125 basis points occurred in 33 trading days.

At the session low today, the price tested the 61.8% retracement of the move up from the March low to the June high. That level comes in at 0.673%. Buyers leaned and pushed the yield back higher. Last week, the yield fell below its 100 day moving average for the 1st time since December 2021. Ultimately, it would take a move back above the 100 day moving average to tilt the technical bias more in the upward direction once again.
