TLT's move above the 20-day simple moving average was accompanied by a move to bull phase by Person's Proprietary Signal, after a two-day bearish whipsaw. In fact, "whipsaw" is TLT's middle name these days, with six phase switches since early July in an essentially trendless undulation sideways.

Rising prices on TLT translate to an expectation of lower interest rates ahead, which would be in line with the poorer than expected job creation report released today.
