*RES 3: 98.168 - 100-WMA 

*RES 2: 98.130 - Low June 20 now resistance

*SUP 3: 98.020 - Low Nov 16 & 17 

*SUP 4: 97.970 - 100-DMA

*COMMENTARY: The break of the key 98.090 resistance has lacked follow through

and remains capped ahead of 98.130. Bulls need a close above 98.130 to initially

target 98.168-200 and above 98.200 to shift focus to tests of 98.350 June highs.

The 98.020-060 support region where 21 (98.056) & 200 (98.041) DMAs are noted

remains key. Bears need a close below 98.020 to ease bullish pressure and shift

focus back to 97.900-970.

AUSSIE 10-YR TECHS: (Z17) 97.4400 & 97.5200 Levels Key

*SUP 4: 97.3361 - 200-DMA

*COMMENTARY: The close above 97.4500 reconfirmed the bullish bias and saw

immediate focus back on 97.5200. Bulls continue to look for a close above

97.5200 to confirm focus on 97.6100-6750 where June highs are noted. The

Bollinger top (97.5242) remains the key concern for bulls. Bears still need a

close below 97.4400 to ease bullish pressure and shift initial focus to 97.3950.

US 10-YR FUTURE TECHS: (H18) 124-06+/124-19 Resistance Region Now Key

*SUP 2: 123-25 Low Mar 30

*SUP 3: 123-11+ Daily Bear channel base

*SUP 4: 123-07+ High Mar 13 now support

*COMMENTARY: The pop above the 55-DMA (124-28) lacked follow through Tuesday

with the sell-off resulting in a close below 124-06+ and bears now focused on

layers of support 122-21+/123-27. Bulls now need a close above 124-06+ to gain

breathing room and above 124-19 to return pressure to 124-28+/125-00 where the

55-DMA and bear channel top (124-29+) are situated.

US 10-YR YIELD TECHS: Above 2.477 To Target 2017 Highs

*RES 1: 2.437 - High Nov 30

*SUP 2: 2.374 - Hourly support Nov 29 

*SUP 3: 2.354 - 21-DMA 

*SUP 4: 2.310 - Low Nov 28

*COMMENTARY: Pressure on the 200-DMA failed to produce a break lower with the

close above the 21-DMA Wednesday now seeing bulls initially focused on 2.477 Oct

highs. Bulls look for a close above this level to target 2.544-2.628 where 2017

highs are situated. Layers of support accumulating adds to bullish confidence.

Bears now need a close below 2.401 to gain breathing room and below the 21-DMA

to shift focus back to 2.273-3.305.

JGB TECHS: (Z17) Bulls Need Close Above 151.01

*RES 1: 151.01 - Hourly resistance Nov 30

*PRICE: 150.89 @ 2030GMT

*SUP 1: 150.84 - Low Nov 30 

*SUP 2: 150.66 - 55-DMA 

*SUP 3: 150.60 - 100-DMA 

*SUP 4: 150.56 - 200-DMA

*COMMENTARY: Bearish pressure has resulted in a dip below the 21-DMA (150.88) as

the contract now trades below the bull channel base (150.94) and bears shift

focus to tests of key DMAs 150.56-66. Daily studies are well placed for a fresh

leg lower. Bulls now need a close above 151.01 to ease bearish pressure and

above 151.13 to shift initial pressure back to 151.21 and above this level to

target the channel top (151.49).
