BUG: Adjust truncate for decreasing index

 - Bug in :meth:`DatetimeIndex.insert` and :meth:`TimedeltaIndex.insert` causing index ``freq`` to be lost when setting an element into an empty :class:`Series` (:issue:33573`)
 - Bug in :meth:`Series.__setitem__` with an :class:`IntervalIndex` and a list-like key of integers (:issue:`33473`)
 - Bug in :meth:`Series.__getitem__` allowing missing labels with ``np.ndarray``, :class:`Index`, :class:`Series` indexers but not ``list``, these now all raise ``KeyError`` (:issue:`33646`)
+- Bug in :meth:`DataFrame.truncate` and :meth:`Series.truncate` where index was assumed to be monotone increasing (:issue:`33756`)
