AUSSIE 3-YR TECHS: (U18) Pressuring 21-DMA 

*RES 4: 98.015 - Alternating daily support/resistance 

*RES 3: 97.972 - Bollinger band top 

*RES 2: 97.965 - 2018 High July 2 

*RES 1: 97.950 - High July 4

*PRICE: 97.895 @ 2130GMT

*SUP 1: 97.891 - Low June 29 

*SUP 2: 97.866 - 200-DMA 

*SUP 3: 97.835 - High June 14 now support 

*SUP 4: 97.824 - 55-DMA

*COMMENTARY: The lack of topside follow through on fresh 2018 & 8mth highs was a

concern for bulls with daily momentum divergence noted, O/B studies in general

and the Bollinger top lurking just above. Bears now look for a close below the

21-DMA to confirm immediate focus on 97.795-866 where 55, 100 & 200-DMAs are

noted. Bulls now need a close above 97.965 to return focus to 98.024-034 where

100 & 200-WMAs are noted.

     AUSSIE 10-YR TECHS: (U18) Pressuring Key Support 

*RES 4: 97.4400 - 2018 High Apr 3

*RES 3: 97.4231 - Weekly Bollinger band top

*RES 2: 97.4200 - High July 2

*RES 1: 97.3600 - Hourly resistance July 10

*PRICE: 97.3450 @ 2130GMT

*SUP 1: 97.3350 - Low June 26 & 27

*SUP 2: 97.2900 - Low June 18

*SUP 3: 97.2667 - 200-DMA

*SUP 4: 97.2554 - 100-DMA

*COMMENTARY: Hesitation ahead of 2018 highs is a concern for bulls given daily

studies correcting from O/B, daily momentum divergence and Bollinger tops

lingering above. Bulls need a close above 97.4400 to confirm a break of the

100-WMA (97.3682) and initially target 97.5000-5200. Bears look for a close

below 97.3350 to ease bullish pressure and below the 100-DMA (97.2554) to shift

focus back to 97.1480-1725.

     US 10-YR FUTURE TECHS: (U18) 120-07/20 Resistance Remains Key

*RES 4: 120-20  High July 6

*RES 3: 120-18+ Bollinger band top

*RES 2: 120-13  Hourly resistance June 12

*RES 1: 120-07  Hourly resistance July 9

*PRICE: 120-02 @ 2130GMT

*SUP 1: 119-30  Low July 3

*SUP 2: 119-26+ Low June 26

*SUP 3: 119-22+ 100-DMA

*SUP 4: 119-14+ 55-DMA

*COMMENTARY: The lack of follow through on last week's break of 120-16 has left

the contract looking offered with focus now on the 100-DMA. Bears now look for a

close below to 100-DMA to shift immediate focus to 119-13+/14+ where the 55-DMA

is noted and below 118-29+ to target 2018 lows. Bulls now need a close above

120-07 to gain breathing room and above 120-20 to confirm focus on the key

121-03/12 region.

     US 10-YR YIELD TECHS: 2.884-2.950 Resistance Region Key

*RES 4: 2.950 - High June 21 

*RES 3: 2.935 - Hourly resistance June 21 

*RES 2: 2.900 - High June 26 

*RES 1: 2.884 - High July 3

*PRICE: 2.867 @ 2130GMT

*SUP 1: 2.856 - Low July 10 

*SUP 2: 2.847 - Hourly support July 9 

*SUP 3: 2.838 - Hourly support July 9a 

*SUP 4: 2.807 - Low July 6

*COMMENTARY: Overall bearish focus remains on 2.717-759 where Apr & May lows are

noted. The Bollinger base (2.800) and modestly O/S studies remain key concern

for bears and limit follow through. Bulls continue to look for a close above

2.884 to gain breathing room and above 2.950 to confirm breaks of 21, 55 &

100-DMAs and pressure the key 3.014-050 resistance region.

     JGB TECHS: (U18) Bears Need Close Below 150.89

*RES 4: 151.19 - Monthly High Nov 22

*RES 3: 151.15 - 2018 High Mar 2

*RES 2: 151.13 - Monthly High May 30

*RES 1: 151.02 - Hourly resistance May 30

*PRICE: 150.91 @ 2130GMT

*SUP 1: 150.89 - High June 25 now support 

*SUP 2: 150.80 - Low June 29 

*SUP 3: 150.71 - Low June 15 

*SUP 4: 150.60 - Low June 14

*COMMENTARY: Narrow sideways trading came to an end last week with fresh 4 week

highs Thursday reinforcing focus on 151.02-19 where 2018 & monthly highs are

situated. Daily studies looking to correct from modestly O/B and the lack of

topside follow through remain concerns for bulls. In saying that, bears still

need a close below 150.89 to ease bullish pressure and return initial focus to

150.71-80.
