Treasury futures maintain a softer short-term tone following the retracement that started Jul 1. Price has breached the 50-day EMA, at 110-31+. This undermines a recent bull theme and exposes 110-17 next, a Fibonacci retracement point and a key support. Clearance of this level would strengthen a bearish threat. Note that it also remains possible that the recent move down is a correction. Resistance to watch is at 111-28, the Jul 3 high.

The recent reversal in Treasury futures was partially erased Wednesday on the back of the soft US CPI print, keeping markets cognizant of the underlying bullish theme for Treasury prices. Key short-term resistance remains 111-14+, a Fibonacci retracement and the Jun 5 high. Clearance of this hurdle would be bullish. First resistance at the 110-19+ 50-day EMA has been pierced. Any extension lower would expose support at 109-26, the May 29 low, where a break would open key support and the bear trigger, at 109-12+, the May 22 low.
