The above chart displays the US 10-year Treasury Note Yield and a simple 3-month rate-of-change indicator.

We call this a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/trading\/trading-divergence-and-understanding-momentum\/?hid=90d17f099329ca22bf4d744949acc3331bd9f9f4&amp;did=13252667-20240603&amp;utm_campaign=chart-advisor_newsletter&amp;utm_source=investopedia&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=060324\">divergence<\/a>, and it\u2019s indicative of a potential trend change and slowing of momentum. The chart also outlines a key level of 3.00-3.25%.

The best way to determine if an asset is trending is to evaluate price. However, indicators can assist in both confirmation of trend and determining strength of trend. The above chart includes the Congestion Index set on a weekly timeframe. Congestion Index (CI) is the ratio of the price change to the range change between highest price and the lowest price for a specific period. When CI sustains itself above +20, the asset is uptrending. When CI remains below -20, the asset is downtrending. Not only did Small-caps form new 52-week highs this year, but the CI made a convincing break above +20. US Small-caps have joined the equity rally and are officially trending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About this week&#8217;s author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmtassociation.org\/presenter\/shane-murphy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Shane Murphy, CMT<\/strong><\/a> has been a CMT Charterholder since 2022.
