The financial markets have been panicking and it’s producing some huge swings across asset classes. One asset that may be producing a monster reversal is treasury bonds.

The flight to safe havens produced a sharp rise in the20+ Year U.S. Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:TLT).But that thrust higher was met with heavy selling the first 3 days of this week.

You can see this in the first chart below – a monthly chart the TLT.

Thus far, the monthly candlestick has produced a huge bearish reversal wick. We have a ways to go until month's-end, but if this reversal holds, it could be the largest ever.

And that would be very bearish for bonds on a longer-term time frame.

The second chart shows the same reversal for yields, but it’s a bullish reversal. Could the largest bullish yield reversal in history be taking place in the 10-year yield?It's possible.
