The TNX Chart Level That Could Be Key for Stocks

A move below 23.00 by the 10-year yield index could trigger a sell-off for the stock market

For me right now, the big chart to watch is that of the CBOE 10-Year Treasury Yield Index (INDEXCBOE:TNX), which represents 10 times the underlying bond yield. It's a little odd to me how the stock market is a freight train --- but yields/bonds sure aren't buying in.

The key TNX level, in my opinion, is 23.00 -- equivalent to a 2.3% yield on the 10-year note. Below 23, I believe we could see a decent stock sell-off. Above here, however, you have to remain bullish.

How to collect 1 dividend check every day for LIFE

Did you know you could collect 1 dividend check every day the market is open? You could also do it starting with just $605! For me, I'm collecting 70 dividend checks every quarter…which averages around 1.1 dividend checks every business day. There's no trading behind this... no penny stocks or high-risk investments. All you do is buy and hold and you're set. There's no set up required either. If you start buying the dividend stocks I show you today... you could collect 1 dividend per day starting as early as this week. Click here for all the details.
