5-year 4.422%, -1.0 basis points

10 year 4.582%, +0.4 basis points

30 year 4.779%, +1.7 basis points

The NASDAQ index reached a low price of 19572.32. It 200 hour moving averages at 19488.03. In trading on December 18 and again on December 20, the price moved below that 200-hour moving average but rebounded within an hour or two. Getting and staying below that moving average would increase the bearish bias.
