US 10YR FUTURE TECHS: (U4) Makes Clean Break of 50-Day EMA

Jun-03 17:02
  • RES 4: 110-09 High May 16 and the bull trigger
  • RES 3: 110-02+ 1.0% 10-dma envelope
  • RES 2: 109-28 High May 17
  • RES 1: 109-17+ High Jun 3
  • PRICE: 109-16 @ 17:56 BST Jun 3
  • SUP 1: 107-31 Low May 29
  • SUP 2: 107-20+ Low May 29
  • SUP 3: 107-12+ Low Apr 25 and the bear trigger
  • SUP 4: 107-00 Round number support

Treasuries extended the recovery off last week’s 107-31 low (May 29) to trade higher Monday and extend gains through the 50-day EMA at 109-12. A close above this level confirms a corrective bounce is underway, and signals potential for a continuation toward 109-28, the May 17 high, in the short-term. Any resumption of bearish activity exposes the key support at 107-12+, the Apr 25 low.

EURUSD TECHS: Bull Flag Formation

Jun-03 17:00
  • RES 4: 1.0981 High Mar 8 and a key resistance
  • RES 3: 1.0964 High Mar 13
  • RES 2: 1.0933 61.8% retracement of the Dec 28 - Apr 16 bear leg
  • RES 1: 1.0895 High May 16 and the bull trigger

  • SUP 2: 1.0766 Low May 13

  • SUP 4: 1.0713 61.8% retracement of the Apr 16 - May 16 rally

EURUSD has recovered from last Thursday’s low of 1.0788. The recent pullback appears to have been a correction and potentially a flag formation - a bullish continuation signal. This reinforces a bull theme and note that moving average studies also highlight an uptrend. A resumption of gains would open 1.0933 next, a Fibonacci retracement. Support to watch lies at 1.0788, the May 30 low.
