Treasury futures maintain a bearish tone and this week’s move lower has reinforced a bearish condition. Support at 110-01+, 76.4% of the Apr 11 - May 1 bull leg, has been cleared. The breach exposes a key support at 109-08, the Apr 24 low and a bear trigger. Key near-term resistance has been defined at 111-22, the May 7 high. A move above this level is required to signal a potential reversal. First resistance is at 110-29, the 20-day EMA.
