The 30-Year Treasury yield here is the 30-year constant-maturity yield (FRED series DGS30), quoted in percent a year. It is read off the par yield curve the US Treasury fits each business day to bid-side quotes for the most recently auctioned Treasuries at about 3:30 pm New York time, so it is not the yield of any one security. The Treasury did not publish it from February 2002 to February 2006.

Rules-based reading

A transparent, rules-based reading of the facts on this page. Each badge traces to a published rule and to the metrics shown. Reporting, not advice.

What these badges mean
Trend
The yield is above some of its 20/50/200-day moving averages and below others. A position versus trend, not a direction to trade.
Level
The current yield is at the 48th percentile of this tenor's history since 1977. A level versus its own history — not itself high or low value, and not a direction.
Volatility
20-day realised yield volatility at the 52nd percentile of its own history since 1977. Higher = larger daily yield swings; a magnitude, not a direction.
52-week position
The yield is at 83.2% of its 52-week range. A position within the range — not itself high or low value, and not a direction.
RSI
RSI(14) on the yield series is 50.52. Readings of 70 and above are stretched high (the yield has risen faster than it has fallen recently), below 30 stretched low (the reverse), and between them neutral. A momentum reading, not a recommendation.
