That would show bonds prices going down, but I don't see that. See to me appears to be software triggers for short-term profits.

The NASDAQ aint gonna hit no all-time high due to some QE malarky

Drove by Tampa on Sunday. Construction cranes everywhere. Never seen so much building at once the 10 years I have lived in this area

Bond ETFs are a basket of bonds. Stock ETFs are a basket of stocks. It's illegal for the fed to buy stocks.
