US 10y futures surged higher Friday on the lower-than-expected payrolls release, with prices lurching above near-term resistance to touch 133-16. The move was short-lived, however, with prices returning to broadly pre-data levels within just a few hours. The recent inability recently to clear the EMA has highlighted a bearish threat. A pullback would signal scope for a test of 131-12, Apr 13 low where a break would expose key support and the trend low of 130-25+, Apr 5 low. For bulls, markets need to solidify recent gains to reinstate a bullish theme and close north of the 133-00 handle.
