TLT hitting $100 again depends on a few things, and it's definitely not a sure thing. Here's what I think, based on some market logic: Rate Cut Expectations: If the expectation of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve strengthens, then yes, TLT (the 20+ year Treasury bond ETF) could very well climb towards $100. This is because bond prices and interest rates have an inverse relationship. When rate cuts are anticipated, investors flock to bonds, driving their prices up and yields (interest rates) down. Market Volatility: However, the current market environment is pretty volatile. Even with strong rate cut expectations, other factors like inflation data or geopolitical tensions could throw things off course. Current Price and Trend: Right now (as of June 12, 2024), TLT is hovering around $130. A

$iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF(TLT)$  Will elevated interest rates trigger a recession in the US? Real rates, which are rates adjusted for inflation, have risen to 2.5%, the highest since the 2008 Financial Crisis. In just 2 years, they have increased by 8 percentage points since the -5.5% low. Over the last 40 years, such high real rates have typically occurred prior to a recession. Meanwhile, the market is pricing just 1 rate cut in 2024, down from 7 forecasted in January. "Higher for longer" is weighing on the economy.

🌟🌟🌟As a beginner to Options strategy, I prefer to buy US Bonds such as $iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF(TLT)$.  I will also receive  monthly dividends too.  The current dividend yield is 3.87% paid every month which is a great source of passive income.
