Mortgage Rates Headed Back Down

Hey there!

It's a great Thursday, lots of sunshine.  I like it!

Looks like mortgage bonds like today too as they are up big after being hammered the past week or so.

Take a look at this chart below.  Remember, green is good for lower mortgage rates.




The technical pattern formed by the past three trading days is a variant of a Morning Star Candlestick pattern.  You don't need to know what that is just what it means.  What does it mean?

Well, after a downtrend, the appearance of this pattern means that a price bottom looks to have been found and we should see higher prices in the days ahead.

Higher prices for mortgage bonds means lower rates.

This might coincide with a pullback in the equity markets.  It has been a very long time since the stock market has had a 5% pullback.

For now, it looks like better pricing on mortgage rates in the coming days.
