[RT] Re: US Bonds weekly

I haven't received my October TASC yet but will take a look. Since the PTI
of 33 on my weekly chart is calling for a double bottom in price worst case
or a failed 5th wave, that would make sense. Again, my point is the overall
pattern in Bonds appears to be bearish on the weekly AGET however the low
PTI is alerting one to the possibility things may flip quickly and like I
said the A-B of the wave 4 up becomes 1-2. The key is to find the moment it
is signaling that change, if in fact it occurs and from what point,
pricewise.

I Don't have the Hirsch book but AGET has seasonals in it for bonds
(1978-1998) or (1989-1998) or 1(994-1998). I checked and they confirm what
you mentioned about being up from early fall (August or September to
December). Attached is a gif of the 1978-1998 seasonal on a daily bond chart
(dark blue line).

Worth watching for sure.
