Treasury futures failed to hold on to yesterday’s high of 116-01. Despite the pullback, a bullish short-term outlook remains intact. Key support to watch lies at 113-06+, the 50-day EMA and this level also represent a short-term pivot level. A break of yesterday’s high would open 116-08, the Feb 2 high and 116-28+, the Jan 19 high and a key resistance. On the downside, a clear breach of the 50-day EMA would expose 112-21, the Mar 13 low.
