from this region Wednesday. Layers of resistance remain with bulls needing a
close above 98.015 to ease bearish pressure and above 98.065 to shift focus back
to 98.110-130. Bears still look for a close below 97.960 to end bullish hopes,
shifting initial focus to 97.900 and overall focus back to 2017 lows (97.720).

above 97.5200 to reconfirm a bullish bias and initially targeting 97.6100-6750
where 2017 highs and the bull channel top are located. Layers of support are
building with bears now needing a close below the bull channel base to ease
bullish pressure and return focus to 97.2926-3650 where key DMAs are noted.

*SUP 4: 123-27 Lows Oct 25 & 27
*COMMENTARY: Pressure has returned to the 124-21+/24+ resistance region where
the 55-DMA and bear channel top are situated. Bulls now look for a close above
the channel top to shift immediate focus to 125-00/07+ where the 100-DMA is
located. Support layers are building and adding to bullish confidence. Bears now
need a close below 124-13 to ease pressure on the 55-DMA and below 124-05 to
reconfirm focus on the key 123-27/29 support region.
US 10-YR YIELD TECHS: Focus Returns to 2.273-303

*PRICE: 2.348 @ 2030GMT
*SUP 1: 2.343 - Daily Bull channel base 
*SUP 2: 2.303 - 200-DMA 
*SUP 3: 2.288 - 100-DMA 
*SUP 4: 2.273 - Monthly Low Oct 13
*COMMENTARY: The 2.437 resistance remains key with topside failures resulting in
a sell-off and bears focused on the 2.273-303 region where key DMAs and Oct low
are located. Layers of resistance building are now weighing with bulls needing a
close above 2.398 to ease bearish pressure and return initial focus to
2.426-437. Overall above 2.437 targets 2017 highs and below 2.273 hints at a
move back to 2017 lows at 2.016 with below 2.207 to confirm.
JGB TECHS: (Z17) Topside Follow Through Lacking

*SUP 3: 150.67 - 55-DMA 
*SUP 4: 150.60 - 200-DMA
*COMMENTARY: Topside follow through on the break above 151.00 was lacking Friday
with the focus back on the 150.84 support. Bears now need a close below 150.84
to confirm a break of the channel base (150.88) and shift focus to 150.54-75
where 55, 100 & 200 DMAs are clustered. Bulls now need a close above 150.99 to
gain breathing room and above 151.05 to reconfirm focus on 151.19-21 where Nov
highs are located.
