Treasury futures bounced well off pullback lows Tuesday, rallying to narrow the gap with first resistance at 112-01. Moving average studies continue to highlight a dominant uptrend - they remain in a bull-mode position. Recent gains have resulted in a print above 111-22+, the Dec 3 ‘24 high. A clear breach of this level would open 112-02 and 112-13, Fibonacci projections. Firm support is unchanged at 110-00, the Feb 7 high.
