Corporate High Yield Bond Funds - Declines to Continue?


Over the last three days, price action has again been relatively dismal for the corporate high yield bond funds we track and analyze

As indicated in our last post on September 25, 2014, the funds were at that time in an oversold conditions per the RSI and appeared to be at or near support (S1), suggesting a rally could possibly occur. Although a short-term rally did occur off this support line, it quickly ran into overhead resistance (R1) and reversed course. And now it appears that after today's decline this support line (S1) has been broken and/or is at least being seriously tested for the majority of these funds.

Updated, but simplified, daily graphs for some of these funds, including NHINX, BHYSX, and VWEHX, and a new graph for LHYAX, with 10/10/2014 closing prices are below.  VWEHX is still at and/or above support.
