US 10YR FUTURE TECHS: (H6) Bear Threat

Dec-17 11:02
  • RES 4: 113-09   76.4% retracement of the Nov 25 - Dec 10 bear leg
  • RES 3: 113-00+ 61.8% retracement of the Nov 25 - Dec 10 bear leg
  • RES 2: 112-27+ High Dec 5 
  • RES 1: 112-22+/23 High Dec 16 and 50-day EMA / High Dec 11 
  • PRICE:‌‌ 112-11+ @ 10:52 GMT Dec 17
  • SUP 1: 111-29   Low Dec 10 and the bear trigger
  • SUP 2: 111-19   1.236 proj of the Oct 17 - Nov 5 - 25 price swing
  • SUP 3: 111-11   1.382 proj of the Oct 17 - Nov 5 - 25 price swing 
  • SUP 4: 111-00   Round number support 

The short-term condition in Treasuries is bearish and near-term resistance points remain. A continuation lower would refocus attention on key support at 111-29, the Dec 10 low. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the bear leg and open 111-19, a Fibonacci projection. On the upside, a clear breach of 112-23, the Dec 12 high would instead strengthen a short-term bull cycle.
