bulls needing a close above this level to shift focus to 122-02/19+ where Feb
highs, the 100-DMA and 100-WMA are found. The Bollinger band top (120-26+) is
the key concern for bulls. Bears now need a close below the 55-DMA to gain
breathing room and below the 21-DMA to shift focus back to 119-14/21+.

*SUP 4: 2.602 - 100-DMA
*COMMENTARY: The yield remains heavy having closed below the 55-DMA (2.780) for
the first time since Dec. Bears now look for a close below 2.758 to confirm
traction below the 55-DMA and initially target 2.585-648 where the 100-DMA is
located. The Bollinger base (2.788) is the key concern for bears. Layers of
resistance are weighing with bulls now needing a close above 2.815 to gain
breathing room and above 2.859 to shift focus higher.

*SUP 3: 150.71 - Bollinger band base

*COMMENTARY: The recovery from 200-DMA tests that defined last week is now in a
little trouble with the failure around 151.06 leaving it looking a little heavy.
Bears need a close below 150.82 to shift focus back to layers of support
150.55-73 where 55, 100 & 200-DMAs are located. Bulls now need a close above
151.06 to reconfirm initial focus on 151.13-19 where the Bollinger top, 2018
high and Nov monthly high are located.
