Treasury futures are holding on to the bulk of their recent gains. A dominant bear cycle remains in play for now, and recent gains still appear corrective. However, the contract has breached an important resistance at 110-23, the May 16 high. A clear breach of this level would undermine a bear theme and highlight a stronger reversal, exposing 111-05+, May 9 high. For bears, a resumption of weakness would refocus attention on 109-12+, May 22 low.
