AUSSIE 3-YR TECHS: (M18) 55-DMA Key Support This Week 
*RES 4: 97.971 - Daily Bear channel top off 2017 high 
*RES 3: 97.951 - 200-DMA 
*RES 2: 97.935 - High Mar 15 
*RES 1: 97.905 - High Mar 16
*PRICE: 97.875 @ 2030GMT
*SUP 1: 97.860 - Low Mar 15 
*SUP 2: 97.840 - 55-DMA 
*SUP 3: 97.826 - Bollinger band base 
*SUP 4: 97.790 - Low Feb 8
*COMMENTARY: The recovery from 55-DMA tests stalled ahead of the 97.951-990
region where the 200-DMA, 200-WMA and bear channel top off 2017 highs are noted
leaving M18 looking heavy. Bears continue to look for a close below the 55-DMA
to confirm a shift in initial focus to 97.790 and overall focus to 97.690 2018
lows. Bulls need a close above the channel top to hint at a move higher with
above 98.015 targeting 98.110-130.
     AUSSIE 10-YR TECHS: (M18) Bulls Need Close Above 55-WMA 
*RES 4: 97.3850 - 2018 High Jan 8
*RES 3: 97.3254 - Bollinger band top
*RES 2: 97.3183 - 55-WMA
*RES 1: 97.3058 - 200-DMA
*PRICE: 97.2800 @ 2030GMT
*SUP 1: 97.2700 - Hourly resistance Mar 15 now support
*SUP 2: 97.2350 - High Mar 9 now support
*SUP 3: 97.2156 - 21-DMA
*SUP 4: 97.1750 - Hourly resistance Feb 23 now support
*COMMENTARY: The rally from 97.1750 is hesitating around the 200-DMA with the
55-WMA and Bollinger top lurking above. Bulls continue to look for a close above
the 55-WMA to initially target 97.3850 and then 97.5200 Nov/Dec highs. Bears now
need a close below 97.2350 to ease bullish pressure and below 97.1750 to confirm
a break of the 55-DMA (97.2015) and bull channel base targeting 97.0450 2018
lows.
     US 10-YR FUTURE TECHS: (M18) 120-23/121-06+ Resistance Key This Week
*RES 4: 121-06+ 55-DMA

*RES 2: 120-23  High Mar 1
*RES 1: 120-14  Hourly resistance Mar 16

*SUP 1: 120-07+ Low Mar 14
*SUP 2: 120-03+ 21-DMA
*SUP 3: 119-26+ Lows Mar 6 & 9
*SUP 4: 119-21  Repeated Daily lows Feb
*COMMENTARY: The 120-23/121-06+ resistance region where the 55-DMA remains key
with the 120-23 level capping last week and reconfirming significance. Bulls
need a close above 120-23 to hint at a move to 122-02 with above the 55-DMA to
confirm. The Bollinger band top (120-19+) remains the key concern for bulls.
Bears need a close below the 21-DMA to ease pressure on resistance layers and
below 119-26+ to initially focus on 119-14.
     US 10-YR YIELD TECHS: 2.883-2.957 Resistance Region Key
*RES 4: 2.925 - High Feb 27 
*RES 3: 2.892 - Hourly resistance Mar 12 
*RES 2: 2.883 - High Mar 13 
*RES 1: 2.871 - 21-DMA

*SUP 1: 2.835 - High Mar 15 now support 
*SUP 2: 2.793 - Low Mar 2 
*SUP 3: 2.786 - Low Feb 9 
*SUP 4: 2.758 - Low Feb 7
*COMMENTARY: The 2.758-793 support remains key and reconfirmed significance with
the correction from 2.914 finding support ahead of this region. Bears need a
close below 2.758 to end bullish hopes and shift initial focus back to 2.696-729
where the 55-DMA is noted. Bulls continue to look for a close above 2.883 to
gain breathing room with a close above 2.957 2018 highs to shift focus back to
tests of 3.041 2014 highs.
     JGB TECHS: (M18) Topside Hesitation A Concern 
*RES 4: 151.19 - Monthly High Nov 22
*RES 3: 151.15 - 2018 High Mar 2
*RES 2: 151.06 - High Mar 12
*RES 1: 150.97 - Low Mar 13 now resistance
*PRICE: 150.88 @ 2030GMT
*SUP 1: 150.85 - Hourly support Mar 16 
*SUP 2: 150.73 - High Mar 14 now support 
*SUP 3: 150.66 - Bollinger band base 
*SUP 4: 150.62 - 200-DMA
*COMMENTARY: The recovery from 200-DMA tests that defined last week appears to
be in trouble with follow through lacking above the 21-DMA (150.89). Bulls now
need a close above 150.97 to confirm focus on layers of resistance 151.15-19.
The 150.85 support is key today. Bears now need a close below this level to
return focus to 150.55-150.73 where key DMAs are clustered. Below 150.55 is
needed to target 150.36 and then 150.08-09 where 2018 and Oct lows are noted.
