Treasury futures traded lower Wednesday extending the bear cycle that started early May. The recent breach of 110-01+, 76.4% of the Apr 11 - May 1 bull leg, strengthened a bearish theme and has exposed key support at 109-08, the Apr 24 low and a bear trigger. Key near-term resistance has been defined at 110-21+, the May 16 high. A move above this level is required to signal a potential reversal.

  • SUP 3: 108-21   Low Feb 19
  • SUP 4: 108-03+ Low Dec 12 ‘24 and a key support 

Treasury futures have pulled back from last week’s highs. For now, recent gains are considered corrective and the bear cycle that started Apr 7, remains in play. The next resistance to watch is 111-25, 50.0% of the Apr 7 - 11 bear leg sell-off. For bears, a resumption of weakness would refocus attention on 109-08, the Apr 11 low and the bear trigger. Clearance of this level would resume the downtrend.
