JPM survey - will the big bond selloff be delayed?

The JPM survey indicates that traders are already net short...which means that the market should see one more short covering push up (perhaps making a new local high) before the auction concession selloff can take place.  This all depends of course on just how accurate the JPM survey is to begin with.  Do you really think the big levered traders respond to these things truthfully?  I probably wouldn't.
