Bears looked firmly in control in JGB futures Friday, driving prices comfortably

below the 50-dma in what looks like a clean break. This switches downside

targets to the 76.4% Fib retracement for the 152.33 - 153.34 move at 152.57 and

a fall through here would open the 100-dma at 152.42. There's still a fair bit

of downside to go before JGBs begin to flash oversold, suggesting this move

could have some legs. A recovery above 153.01 is needed to stem the flow, before

bulls can begin to reconsider recent cycle highs at 153.34.
