The technical outlook for German bunds has taken a turn for the worse.

As markets adjust to a hawkish shift in policy rhetoric from the European Central Bank, Thursday’s significant breakout saw 10-year yields break above their 18-month range top at 51 basis points. The bearish chart development has the potential of sparking a speedy ascent in the yield toward its long-term equilibrium line at 69 basis points.
