BUND TECHS: (H18) Gaining Traction Below 200-WMA
*RES 4: 159.66 Low Jan 25 now resistance
*RES 3: 159.33 High Jan 31
*RES 2: 158.88 Hourly resistance Jan 31
*RES 1: 158.63 200-WMA
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 158.16
*SUP 1: 157.52 Low Dec 29 2015
*SUP 2: 156.78 Low Dec 16 2015
*SUP 3: 156.55 Weekly bear channel base
*SUP 4: 154.81 Monthly Low Nov 2015
*COMMENTARY: Bearish confidence grows as the contract gains traction below the
200-WMA. Bears now focus on the 156.55-78 region where the weekly bear channel
base is situated. Consolidation below the 200-WMA would see overall focus on
148.23 2015 lows. Bulls need a close above 158.88 to gain breathing room and
above 159.66 to shift focus to 160.36-161.11 where the daily bear channel top &
21-DMA are noted.
BOBL TECHS: (H18) Bulls Need Close Above 130.630
*RES 4: 131.050 Low Jan 18 now resistance 
*RES 3: 130.950 High Jan 26 
*RES 2: 130.770 Hourly resistance Jan 26 
*RES 1: 130.630 Low Jan 26 now resistance
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 130.380
*SUP 1: 130.290 2018 Low Feb 1
*SUP 2: 130.213 Daily Bear channel base
*SUP 3: 129.460 High Dec 7 2015 now support
*SUP 4: 128.820 Monthly Low Dec 4 2015
*COMMENTARY: Fresh 2018 & 2+yr lows following repeated topside failures at
130.630 leave the contract looking heavy and bears now focused on 128.82-129.46
last seen in Dec 2015. Initial resistance remains at 130.630 with bulls needing
a close above to ease bearish pressure and above the 21-DMA (131.120) to confirm
a break of the bear channel top (131.111) targeting a correction back to
131.450-520.
SCHATZ TECHS: (H18) Overall Bearish Focus On 200-WMA
*RES 4: 111.950 High Jan 23 
*RES 3: 111.900 Hourly support Jan 25 now resistance 
*RES 2: 111.870 Hourly resistance Jan 26 
*RES 1: 111.855 High Feb 1
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 111.820
*SUP 1: 111.785 Hourly support Jan 29 
*SUP 2: 111.765 2018 Low Jan 29 
*SUP 3: 111.750 Monthly Low May 3 2016 
*SUP 4: 111.624 200-WMA
*COMMENTARY: Bulls failed to gain traction above the 21-DMA (111.893) last week
with Monday's sell-off resulting in 2018 & 18mth lows. The lack of follow
through is less than ideal with bears focused on the 200-WMA and below 111.750
to add weight to their case. Bulls now need a close above 111.855 to ease
bearish pressure and above 111.900 to confirm breaks of the 21-DMA and bear
channel top (111.870) to shift initial focus to 111.950-000.
GILT TECHS: (H18) Supported Ahead Of 200-WMA For Now
*RES 4: 123.12 Low Nov 30 now resistance 
*RES 3: 122.65 High Jan 30 
*RES 2: 122.22 Hourly support Jan 31 now resistance 
*RES 1: 121.87 Low Jan 31 now resistance
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 121.80
*SUP 1: 121.50 2018 Low Feb 1 
*SUP 2: 121.38 200-WMA 
*SUP 3: 120.54 Monthly Low May 25 2016 
*SUP 4: 118.93 Monthly Low May Apr 2016
*COMMENTARY: The sell-off that has defined 2018 so far sees immediate pressure
on the 200-WMA with support seen emerging ahead of this level on Thursday's dip.
O/S daily studies remain the key concern for bears. Resistance layers
accumulating now see bulls needing a close above 122.28 to ease immediate
bearish pressure and above 122.65 to shift focus back to 123.12-47 where the
21-DMA is found.
SHORT-STERLING TECHS: (H18) 99.420 Support Key Today
*RES 4: 99.474 200-DMA
*RES 3: 99.450 Low Sept 13 now resistance
*RES 2: 99.440 21-DMA
*RES 1: 99.435 Repeated Daily Lows now resistance
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 99.425
*SUP 1: 99.420 2018 Low Feb 1
*SUP 2: 99.410 Repeated Daily highs now support
*SUP 3: 99.392 100-DMA
*SUP 4: 99.390 Lows Dec 5 & 8
*COMMENTARY: The contract remains capped ahead of the 21-DMA as it flirts with
the 55-DMA (99.423) and remains a little heavy. Bears now need a close below
99.420 to confirm a break of the 55-DMA and below 99.390 to confirm a break of
the 100-DMA and target 99.300-310. Bulls continue to look for a close above
99.450 to shift focus to 99.473-520 where the 55-WMA and 200-DMA are noted.
EURIBOR TECHS: (M18) Above100.325 Targets 100.340-341
*RES 4: 100.340 - High Oct 10 2016 
*RES 3: 100.325 - High Oct 19 2016, High Dec 15 
*RES 2: 100.320 - Repeated Daily highs Dec 
*RES 1: 100.318 - Bollinger band top
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 100.315
*SUP 1: 100.310 - Repeated Daily lows Jan
*SUP 2: 100.307 - 100-DMA
*SUP 3: 100.305 - Lows Dec 4 & 5
*SUP 4: 100.304 - Bollinger band base
*COMMENTARY: Bulls take comfort in the 100-DMA (100.307) holding firm so far in
2018 with bears needing a close below 100.305 to hint at a move back to 100.285.
Focus has returned to the 100.320-325 region with the Bollinger top currently
limiting follow through. Bulls now look for a close above 100.325 to target
100.340-341 where the bull channel top is noted. Daily studies lingering at
modestly O/B levels remains less than ideal for bulls.
US 10-YR FUTURE TECHS: (H18) Bulls Need Close Above 121-31
*RES 4: 122-04+ Hourly support Jan 25 now resistance
*RES 3: 121-31  Low Jan 25 now resistance
*RES 2: 121-22  Hourly resistance Jan 31
*RES 1: 121-10+ Low Jan 31 now resistance
*PRICE: 121-03+ @ 0530GMT
*SUP 1: 121-01+ Daily Bear channel base
*SUP 2: 120-25+ Low Apr 29 2011
*SUP 3: 119-24  Low Apr 21 2011
*SUP 4: 118-24  Low Apr 13 2011
*COMMENTARY: Fresh 2018 and 6+ year lows leave the contract looking offered and
pressuring the bear channel base. Bears look for a close below 120-25+ to shift
focus to the 117-29+/119-24 support region last seen in Apr 2011. O/S daily
studies remain the key concern for bears. Bulls now need a close above 121-22 to
gain breathing room and above 121-31 to hint at a correction back to 122-14+/20
where the 21-DMA is located.
US 10-YR YIELD TECHS: Pressuring Bull Channel Top
*RES 4: 3.041 - 2014 High Jan 2 
*RES 3: 2.912 - High Jan 15 2014 
*RES 2: 2.821 - Monthly High Mar 7 2014 
*RES 1: 2.806 - Daily Bull channel top
*PRICE: 2.793 @ 0530GMT
*SUP 1: 2.754 - High Jan 31 now support 
*SUP 2: 2.696 - Low Jan 31 
*SUP 3: 2.676 - High Jan 25 now support 
*SUP 4: 2.654 - Hourly support Jan 26
*COMMENTARY: The 2.609 support provided the base for repeated 2018 & 3+ year
highs with immediate bullish focus on 2.806-912 and overall focus on 3.041 2014
highs. The Bollinger band top (2.800) and O/B studies remain concerns for bulls.
Layers of support are building with bears needing a close below 2.754 to gain
breathing room and below 2.654 to shift focus back to 2.571-609 where the 21-DMA
(2.598) is noted.
EUROSTOXX50 TECHS: Bears Need Close Below 200-DMA
*RES 4: 3674.50 High Jan 24 
*RES 3: 3659.33 High Jan 25 
*RES 2: 3636.05 Low Jan 29 now resistance 
*RES 1: 3600.36 Low Jan 31 now resistance
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 3577.35
*SUP 1: 3534.51 200-DMA 
*SUP 2: 3520.84 Low Jan 4 
*SUP 3: 3509.92 55-WMA 
*SUP 4: 3467.78 High Sept 9 now support
*COMMENTARY: Having failed to trouble 2017 highs on the recovery from 2018 lows
the index remains offered following closes below key DMAs with immediate focus
now on the 200-DMA. Bears need a close below the 200-DMA to add weight to the
case for a move targeting 2018 lows (3469.23). Bulls need a close above 3600.36
to gain breathing room and above 3636.05 to shift focus to 2017 & 2018 highs.
