here's an interesting chart, shows record shorts on Eurodollar
and Treasury futures. Institutions are betting on rise in
long term interest rates via their short position on Treasuries,
however if they were forced to cover because rates started to fall,
that short covering could cause a nice fall in interest rates,
which the market would like and could be a catalyst for the market
to back up again. We'll see how it plays out

Matt: as I remembered you have mentioned that rate should go up
a lot from here, so what would happen if bond will go up instead?
rate should go down , what is your explanation ? will that be rate
will go down temporarily?
