Are interest rates starting to rise?

About .15-.25% increase in the last few days.  Below is a graph. Green shows upward trends and red shows downward trends. The more green and the higher, the lower interest rates are. On the flip side, the more red, the lower the bar, the higher the interest rate is going to be. January 4th was a great day to lock a loan, while February 16th was not.
