close below 159.78 to confirm focus on tests of 2017 lows. Resistance layers
continue to accumulate and add weight to the bearish case. Bulls now need a
close above 160.80 to gain breathing room and above 162.37 to end bearish hopes
and hint at a move back to 163.78 Dec highs with above 162.79 confirming.
BOBL TECHS: (H18) Focus Shifts to 2017 Low
*RES 4: 131.820 High Jan 8

*SUP 3: 130.920 2017 Low Sept 28
*SUP 4: 130.580 Low Nov 16 2016
*COMMENTARY: Failure to gain topside traction on the break above 131.760 and
hesitation ahead of 131.880 resulted in a sell-off that now sees focus back on
tests off 2017 lows and a break below targeting 130.390-580.Layers of resistance
accumulating are weighing with bull snow needing a close above 131.52 to ease
bearish pressure and above 131.720 to pressure 131.855-132.034.
SCHATZ TECHS: (H18) Bulls Need Close Above 111.940
*RES 4: 112.000 High Dec 21 & Jan 3 
*RES 3: 111.985 High Jan 11

*SUP 4: 111.750 Monthly Low May 3 2016
*COMMENTARY: Bears reconfirmed dominance with a sell-off and bearish close that
sees focus now on layers of support 111.750-745 where yearly and monthly lows
are located. Daily studies are well placed for losses. Bulls now look for a
close above 111.940 to ease bearish pressure and hint at a correction back to
111.985-112.035 where 2018 highs and the 21-DMA are located. Above 112.035 is
needed to shift focus to 55 (112.085) & 100 (112.100) DMAs.
GILT TECHS: (H18) Below 123.62 Targets 122.44
*RES 4: 125.41 High Dec 27

*COMMENTARY: The correction lower from 125.41 sees focus back on the 123.62
support as the contract flirts with the bull channel base and Bollinger base
(123.87). Bears 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 still
need a close above 124.50 to gain breathing room and above 124.96 to shift focus
back to 125.41-69.

for a close above 99.450 to shift focus to 99.478-520 where the 55-WMA and
200-DMA are noted. The 21-DMA remains initial support with bears still needing a
close below to gain breathing room. A close below 99.390 is needed to confirm a
break of the 55-DMA (99.403) and hint at a move back to 99.300-310.
EURIBOR TECHS: (M18) Pressuring 100-DMA
*RES 4: 100.325 - High Oct 19 2016, High Dec 15

look for a close above the 21-DMA to ease bearish pressure and shift initial
focus to 100.320-325. Daily studies at modestly O/S levels is less than ideal
for bears.

*RES 3: 123-22+ 21-DMA

*SUP 4: 120-25+ Low Apr 29 2011

before finding support at 122-22+. Bears look for a close below this level to
shift focus to 120-25+/121-22+. The Bollinger base (122-24+) is a concern for
bears and limits follow through. Layers of resistance remain with bulls needing
a close above 123-09 to ease bearish pressure and above the 21-DMA to shift
focus to 124-02+/13+ where the bear channel top and 55-DMA are noted.
US 10-YR YIELD TECHS: 2.504 Support Key Today

*SUP 2: 2.504 - High Dec 21 now support 
*SUP 3: 2.462 - Low Jan 8 
*SUP 4: 2.457 - 21-DMA
*COMMENTARY: The lack of topside follow through on fresh 10mth highs is a
concern for bulls who are currently focused on 2.629-692 where yearly and
monthly highs are situated. Daily studies approaching O/B is less than ideal.
Bears continue to look for a close below 2.504 to gain breathing room and hint
at a correction back to 2.401-2.457 where the 21 & 55-DMAs and bull channel base
off Sept lows are noted.
EUROSTOXX50 TECHS: Bears Need Close Below 3570.51

*COMMENTARY: Continued hesitation ahead of the 3642.1 resistance is less than
ideal for bulls who need a close above this level to confirm initial focus on
tests of 2017 highs. Weekly studies remain well placed for further topside
following the recovery from a dip below the 55-WMA (3492.56) last week. Bears
continue to look for a close below 3570.51 to shift focus back to 2018 lows so
far.
