AUSSIE 3-YR TECHS: (M18) 97.730 Support Now Key 
*RES 4: 97.898 - 200-DMA 
*RES 3: 97.865 - High Apr 10 
*RES 2: 97.827 - 55-DMA 
*RES 1: 97.820 - High May 4
*PRICE: 97.775 @ 2130GMT
*SUP 1: 97.750 - Lows May 3 & 4

*SUP 3: 97.675 - 2018 Low Apr 24 
*SUP 4: 97.605 - 2015 Low Dec 15 2015
*COMMENTARY: The recovery from 2018 lows is hesitating ahead of the 55 &
100-DMAs with topside follow through lacking Friday. Bulls now need a close
above 97.865 to shift focus to 97.898-955 where the 200-DMA is found. Bears take
comfort in the break of the 97.780 support but now need a close below 97.730 to
shift immediate focus back to 2018 lows and overall focus to 2015 lows.
     AUSSIE 10-YR TECHS: (M18) 97.1500 Support Key Today 
*RES 4: 97.3600 - High Apr 9
*RES 3: 97.3129 - 200-WMA
*RES 2: 97.2773 - 200-DMA
*RES 1: 97.2600 - High Apr 18
*PRICE: 97.1850 @ 2130GMT
*SUP 1: 97.1500 - High Apr 24 now support
*SUP 2: 97.0851 - Weekly Bull channel base off 2008 Low
*SUP 3: 97.0800 - Low Feb 21
*SUP 4: 97.0450 - 2018 Low Feb 6
*COMMENTARY: The recovery from Apr lows has stalled ahead of the 200-DMA with
the 200-WMA lurking just above as daily studies head towards O/B levels. Bulls
now need a close above the 200-WMA to shift initial focus to 97.4000-4400. The
contract is looking a little heavy having now closed below 97.2000 with bears
now needing a close below 97.1500 to retain initial focus on 2018 lows.
     US 10-YR FUTURE TECHS: (M18) Immediate Focus Back on 2018 Low
*RES 4: 120-02+ Low Apr 18 now resistance
*RES 3: 119-24+ 21-DMA
*RES 2: 119-19  Hourly support May 8 now resistance
*RES 1: 119-12  Hourly resistance May 9
*PRICE: 119-07 @ 2130GMT
*SUP 1: 118-31  2018 Low Apr 25
*SUP 2: 118-24  Low Apr 13 2011
*SUP 3: 117-29+ Monthly Low Apr 8 2011
*SUP 4: 117-09+ Weekly Bear channel base
*COMMENTARY: M18 is looking offered with the break of 119-08 easing renewed
bullish pressure and returning initial focus to 2018 lows. Fresh lows are needed
to add weight to the case for a test of the weekly bear channel base. Bulls now
look for a close above Y119-19 to gain breathing room. Above Y120-06+ remains
needed to confirm a break of the 55-DMA (120-05+) and initially target a
correction back to 120-20+/24.
     US 10-YR YIELD TECHS: Focus Back On 3.041-073
*RES 4: 3.073 - Low July 6 2011 now resistance 
*RES 3: 3.041 - 2014 High Jan 2 
*RES 2: 3.035 - 2018 High Apr 25 
*RES 1: 3.018 - Hourly support Apr 26 now resistance
*PRICE: 3.006 @ 2130GMT
*SUP 1: 2.987 - High May 8 now support 
*SUP 2: 2.937 - Low May 7 
*SUP 3: 2.926 - 21-DMA 
*SUP 4: 2.904 - Low Apr 20
*COMMENTARY: The recovery from the dip back towards the 21-DMA Friday saw a pop
back above 2.996 and focus having returned to the 3.041-073 resistance region.
Daily studies are now well placed for a fresh leg higher. Bulls continue to look
for a close above 3.073 to confirm traction above 3.000 and the 2018 high and
target 3.219-223 where the weekly bull channel top is noted. Bears now need a
close below 2.937 to ease bullish pressure.
     JGB TECHS: (M18) Bears Need Close Below 150.77
*RES 4: 151.15 - 2018 High Mar 2
*RES 3: 151.06 - High Mar 12
*RES 2: 151.03 - High Apr 12
*RES 1: 150.95 - Low Apr 12 now resistance
*PRICE: 150.78 @ 2130GMT
*SUP 1: 150.77 - Low May 2 
*SUP 2: 150.70 - Alternating daily support/resistance 
*SUP 3: 150.69 - 200-DMA 
*SUP 4: 150.52 - Alternating daily support/resistance
*COMMENTARY: Hesitation ahead of the 150.95-151.06 resistance region is less
than ideal for bulls with a close above 151.06 needed to shift initial focus to
151.15-21. Bears now need a close below 150.77 to gain breathing room and below
the 200-DMA to end bullish hopes and shift initial focus back to 150.52. Overall
below 150.52 is needed to see bear targeting 2018 lows.
