A bull phase in Treasury futures remains in play despite the run lower off recent highs. This leaves the contract holding the bulk of its latest gains. Price has traded through the 50-day EMA of 109-10+. This highlights potential for a stronger reversal and sights are on a climb above the 110-00 handle.
