Thin
A thin market has relatively few active buyers, sellers, or orders. With less depth available, even a modest transaction can move the price sharply. Bid-offer spreads may widen, and the price shown on screen may cover only a small quantity. Thin conditions often appear in less popular assets, outside the busiest trading hours, or before holidays and major announcements. The word describes liquidity, not whether the market is expensive or cheap. A market can be thin while moving higher, lower, or nowhere at all. For large orders, the important issue is that there may not be enough quantity available at the best quoted price.
Thirty (30) YR
Thirty years is a long time for money to remain invested at a fixed rate. The US 30-year Treasury bond is designed for that horizon. It pays interest every six months and repays its face value when the 30 years end. Because its payments stretch far into the future, its market price can react strongly to changes in long-term interest-rate and inflation expectations. Traders often use “30 YR” as shorthand for the bond’s yield. A higher quoted yield normally comes with a lower bond price. The 30-year is also called the long bond and is followed by pension funds, insurers, and other long-term investors.
Three Black Crows
Three Black Crows is a bearish candlestick pattern made of three consecutive falling candles. It usually receives attention after a market has been rising. Each candle closes lower than the previous one, and the bodies are normally large enough to show steady selling rather than small random movement. Traders interpret the sequence as a possible shift from buying strength to selling pressure. The pattern becomes less meaningful when it appears after an extended decline because the market is already weak. Like other candlestick formations, it describes what happened across a few sessions. It does not prove that a longer fall must follow.
Three White Soldiers
A market has been falling, then three strong rising candles appear one after another. This formation is called Three White Soldiers. Each candle normally closes above the previous close and shows consistent buying across the session. The pattern can suggest that buyers are taking control after a decline or period of weakness. Very large candles may also mean the move has already travelled far, especially if they appear after prices have risen for some time. Traders often examine volume, nearby resistance, and the wider trend before giving the pattern more importance. The three candles are evidence of buying pressure, not a guarantee of a lasting recovery.
TIBOR
TIBOR stands for Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate. It is a reference rate based on submissions from selected banks about unsecured yen borrowing in Japan’s interbank market. Japanese Yen TIBOR is published for several periods, including one week and one, three, six, and twelve months. It differs from the overnight transaction-based TONA rate. There were previously two TIBOR families, but publication of Euroyen TIBOR permanently ended after 30 December 2024. Japanese Yen TIBOR is now the only TIBOR benchmark calculated and published by the JBA TIBOR Administration. Older contracts and charts should be checked to see which version they refer to.
TIC (Treasury International Capital)
TIC is the US government system for collecting information about cross-border portfolio investment. It covers areas such as foreign purchases of US securities, US purchases of foreign securities, banking claims and liabilities, and some derivatives positions. Direct investment in businesses is measured separately. The monthly releases receive attention because they can show whether foreign investors are adding to or reducing holdings of US assets, including Treasury securities. Country totals require care because a transaction may be recorded where the immediate bank or intermediary is located, not where the final investor lives. TIC stands for Treasury International Capital.
