Note Added on Friday, 11/25/16, at 7:49 AM EST: The 2-year yield is up to 1.15%. The blue line is a resistance area at 1.11% to 1.21% so yield is playing in this sandbox right now. The thin line resistance line matching levels from 2009 is at 1.34% to 1.44%. Thus, the bond bears (expecting lower note and bond prices, higher yields and inflation) need to punch up through 1.22% and yield will seek the 1.34%-1.44% target. Treasury bulls, that expect higher note and bond prices, lower yields and disinflation and deflation to continue, need to hold the line at 1.21% which will place a near-term ceiling in the bond rout. Global bonds are at record 'oversold' levels (lower prices higher yields) so a rest and reversal of the move is likely in the near-term.
