30-Yr futures briefly traded under the 149-00 level yesterday, before dip buyers

emerged to close around 149-05/10. Recovery efforts have so far held shallow

with bears looking to clear the 149-00 level to open trendline support off the

Mar lows & 50-dma at 147-28. Below here would extend the downtrend towards the

100-dma & May 3 low at 146-27/21. Bulls need to recover the 150-00 level before

challenging the May 16/Mar 28 highs at 150-10/21.
