Treasury futures traded lower Thursday, marking an extension of the bear cycle that started at the beginning of May. Recent weakness undermines a bullish theme. The contract has traded through the 50-day EMA, at 110-31+. A clear break of this average would strengthen a bearish threat and expose 110-16+, the Apr 22 low. For bulls, price needs to trade above key S/T resistance at 112-20+, the May 1 high, to reinstate a bullish theme.

A sharp sell-off in Treasury futures this week has resulted in a breach of both the 20- and 50-day EMAs. Attention is on trendline support at 109-29, drawn from the Jan 13 low. A clear break of this support would strengthen a bearish threat. Note that the steep sell-off could still be a corrective pullback that has allowed an oversold trend condition to unwind. Initial resistance to watch is 112-08, yesterday’s high. A break would highlight a possible early reversal.
