  • SUP 4: 107-04   Low Apr 25 ‘24 and a key support 

Treasury futures are building on the recent recovery. The resumption of the move higher exposes the next important resistance and a bull trigger at 110-00, the Feb 7 high. Clearance of this level would strengthen a bullish theme and open 110-19, a Fibonacci retracement. On the downside, key short-term support has been defined at 108-04, the Feb 12 low. Clearance of this support would reinstate a bearish theme.
