channel base off 2008 lows is located. O/S studies and the Bollinger base
(97.1096) remain key concerns for bears. Bulls now need a close above 97.1500 to

bears with potential to limit follow through. Bulls now need a close above
119-14+ to gain breathing room and above Y120-06+ to initially target a
correction back to 120-21+/24.
     US 10-YR YIELD TECHS: Focus Remains On 3.041-073

2.925-957 support region is now key. Bears now need a close below 2.957 to gain
breathing room and below 2.925 to shift initial focus back to 2.814-876 where 21
(2.831) & 55 (2.849) DMAs are situated. Bulls continue to look for a close above
3.073 to shift focus 3.168-223 where the weekly bull channel top is noted.

*SUP 4: 150.09 - 2018 Low Feb 2

Bulls now need a close above 150.70 to gain breathing room and above the 55-DMA
to shift focus back to 150.95-151.06.
