BUND TECHS: (H18) Hesitating Around 100-DMA
*RES 4: 162.55 21-DMA
*RES 3: 162.37 High Dec 27
*RES 2: 161.87 High Dec 29
*RES 1: 161.83 100-DMA
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 161.62
*SUP 1: 161.50 Low Jan 5
*SUP 2: 161.18 Low Jan 2
*SUP 3: 160.80 High Oct 25 now support
*SUP 4: 160.26 Monthly Low Oct 2
*COMMENTARY: Pressure returning to the daily bull channel base took its toll
with bears focused on 159.78-160.26 and below 160.80 to add weight to their
case. O/S daily studies looking to correct and the Bollinger base (160.83)
remain key concerns for bears with potential to limit follow through. Bulls now
need a close above 161.87 to ease bearish pressure and above 162.37 to hint at a
move back to 163.78.
BOBL TECHS: (H18) 131.760 Resistance Remains Key
*RES 4: 132.208 55-DMA 
*RES 3: 132.018 100-DMA

*RES 1: 131.760 High Dec 21
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 131.650
*SUP 1: 131.430 Low Dec 27
*SUP 2: 131.350 Monthly Low Nov 30 (cont)
*SUP 3: 131.236 Daily Bear channel base
*SUP 4: 131.240 Weekly Bollinger band base
*COMMENTARY: O/S daily studies looking to correct remain the key concern for
bears given the bounce from the bear channel base in recent weeks. Bulls
continue to look for a close above 131.760 to ease bearish pressure and above
the 100-DMA to shift immediate focus to 132.208-240. While 131.760 caps bears
remain focused on 130.920-131.350 where Nov lows are noted with below 131.430 to
add weight to the case.

*SUP 3: 111.840 Low July 6 (cont) 
*SUP 4: 111.805 2017 Low June 28
*COMMENTARY: The aggressive bounce ahead of the 2017 low eased bearish pressure
with bulls needing a close above 112.035 to shift focus to 112.060-109 where key
DMAs are situated. Correcting O/S studies add support to the bullish case for a
bigger correction. Bears need a close below 111.915 to maintain focus on

*SUP 2: 124.05 Low Jan 2 
*SUP 3: 123.99 Bollinger band base 
*SUP 4: 123.75 Daily Bull channel base
*COMMENTARY: The contract continues to whip around within a broad 124.05-125.41
range. Bears continue to look for a close below 123.62 to confirm a break of the
bull channel base and to shift overall focus to tests of 122.44 Oct lows. Bulls
