Arrrgh! Interest rates are going up. Recently, I've been buying 20 year Treasuries which are yielding 5%. I've been scaling in just in case interest rise.
I'm going to stop buying the 20 year Treasury for now and wait for interest rates to be close to 5.5% before resuming. I will also stop buying municipal bond funds at this time due to interest rates rising.
However, this will be a good test of my current strategy of creating a retirement paycheck and being agnostic to stock market and interest rate volatility. We'll see how the strategy weathers this event.
Of course, it works until it doesn't and YMMV.
