US 10YR FUTURE TECHS: (Z5) Corrective Pullback Still In Play

Sep-26 10:31
  • RES 4: 114-10   High Apr 7 (cont.)
  • RES 3: 114-00   Round number resistance
  • RES 2: 113-12/29 High Sep 18 / High Sep 11 and the bull trigger 
  • RES 1: 113-00   High Sep 24 
  • PRICE:‌‌ 112-11 @ 11:18 BST Sep 26 
  • SUP 1: 112-01   50.0% retracement of the Jul 15 - Sep 11 bull phase   
  • SUP 2: 111-26   Low Aug 26
  • SUP 3: 111-13+ Low Aug 18 and a key support  
  • SUP 4: 111-01+ 76.4% retracement of the Jul 15 - Sep 11 bull phase  

Treasury futures have traded lower this week and remain in retracement mode. Thursday’s sell-off has resulted in a print below the 50-day EMA, at 112-10. A clear break of this average would undermine a bull theme and signal scope for a deeper retracement. This would open 111-13+, the Aug 18 low and the next key support. Initial resistance to watch is 113-00, the Sep 24 high.
