I think TNX tags the down trending red fork and reverses especially since that fork has shown price action in the past... worst case is the hold the next down trending red fork... Lots of resistance in the forks to have to bust through... JMO ttrader.com

I have my doubts for the time being about a 4.5% Ten (specs are short 211,583), but in the last three weeks spec longs (all small specs) have ballooned up to 74,094 in the stock subtotal, that's very bearish.
