Treasuries have opened a decent gap with last week’s highs, leaving key short-term resistance defined at 111-27+, the Apr 17 high. Support at 110-16, the Apr 2 low, has broken - a bearish development that exposes the bear trigger of 109-24. Any renewed rally needs to push prices through 111-27+, before 111-31, the 50% retracement for the Iran War bear leg, can be tested. Clearance of this retracement level would strengthen any bullish theme.
