This is a very interesting chart. There are currently two key features. First, notice that the 91.5 level has offered a tremendous amount of resistance -- prices have approached that level three times in the last month of so only to be rebuffed. Secondly, notice that the EMAs are bunched together in a tight range and are tied together with prices. This tells us the market is pretty directionless right now.
From a fundamental view, this directionless makes sense. There is a tremendous amount of supply coming to market which is adding downward pricing pressure. However, there is continued talk of the market's need to sell-off a bit, which would increase Treasuries appeal because of their safe haven status. In short, the cross currents are strong right now.

Everything you said is right on target. Isn't there one other factor involved in keeping Treasuries trading in a range? Isn't the Fed buying treasuries, or have they stopped doing that now?
