  • RES 3: 113-09+ 76.4% retracement of the Apr 7 - 9 sell-off
  • RES 2: 112-21+ 61.8% retracement of the Apr 7 - 9 sell-off  
  • RES 1: 112-08   High Apr 7

  • SUP 1: 110-01   Intraday low
  • SUP 2: 109-29   Trendline support drawn from the Jan 13 low 
  • SUP 3: 109-13+ Low Feb 24 
  • SUP 4: 108-26+ 76.4% of the Jan 13 - Apr 7 bull cycle    

A sharp sell-off in Treasury futures this week has resulted in a breach of both the 20- and 50-day EMAs. Attention is on trendline support at 109-29, drawn from the Jan 13 low. A clear break of this support would strengthen a bearish threat. Note that the steep sell-off could still be a corrective pullback that has allowed an oversold trend condition to unwind. Initial resistance to watch is 112-08, yesterday’s high. A break would highlight a possible early reversal.
