Channel Broken, Bias Shifted – Is ZB Ready to Collapse?

The Loot

July 7, 2025

The 30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond Futures (ZB) has officially snapped. After riding a clean ascending channel throughout June, price has decisively broken down through the lower boundary a structure it had respected for weeks. Now it’s all about one thing: can sellers defend this breakdown, or was it a trap?

The Setup

Let’s break down the chart:

  • Channel support gave way last week after price printed a series of lower highs.

  • This breakdown has now pushed price into a key demand zone between 113’06 and 112’30 marked as support (S).

  • Above us, multiple zones of supply are stacked:

    • Mid-zone at ~113’26–113’32

    • Major resistance between 114’16–114’28, which aligns with the underside of the broken channel

Add to that a macro backdrop filled with uncertainty, bond market repricing, and rate cut speculation and you’ve got all the ingredients for a high-probability trade setup.

Bearish Trade Plan

This is a classic break-and-retest setup:

"When structure breaks, expect a retest and if it holds, stack your bias."

Here’s how we’re attacking it:

  • Entry Zone: 113’24–113’30
    → Retesting broken channel and supply

  • Stop Loss: Above 114’00 (or 114’16 for wider risk tolerance)

  • Take Profits:

    • TP1 → 113’00

    • TP2 → 112’10

    • TP3 → 110’00 (swing target)

We’re watching for a clean rejection at the mid supply zone. If price pushes into resistance and fails to reclaim the channel, it confirms bearish intent and we’re loading short.

Bullish Counter-Scenario

There’s one scenario where bulls could flip the narrative:

  • If price defends the support zone (S) around 113’00–112’30

  • And aggressively reclaims 113’32–113’40 with volume and momentum

  • That would open the door for a retracement rally back to 114’16–114’28

But until that happens, this market looks heavy.

Conclusion

This is what high-probability structure shifts look like. Clean channel breakdown, retest in play, and high confluence zones marked out.

Stay patient. Don’t front-run the move let price tell the story. If 113’30 gets rejected, we’re short. If bulls reclaim it, we’ll reassess.

Bias: Bearish
Focus: Reaction to 113’30 zone
Timeframe: Intraday to multi-day swing
