Executive Summary

iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF trades at $80.62, with its short-term moving averages sitting below the longer-term ones — a bearish trend structure. Over a rolling month the price has lost 1.9%.

The 0.15% expense ratio is competitive for its category, and the fund manages $47.05B in assets.
