     BUND TECHS: (M18) Remains Supported Below 55-DMA
*RES 4: 158.74 Low Apr 16 now resistance
*RES 3: 158.40 High Apr 20
*RES 2: 158.09 100-DMA
*RES 1: 158.04 Low Apr 19 now resistance
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 157.77
*SUP 1: 157.59 55-DMA
*SUP 2: 157.34 Low Mar 14
*SUP 3: 156.22 Monthly Low Mar 8
*SUP 4: 156.02 Weekly Bear channel base
*COMMENTARY: Bulls take comfort in bounces from below the 55-DMA with bears
continuing to look for a close below 157.34 to confirm traction below the 55-DMA
and initially target 156.02-22 where the weekly bear channel base is found. The
Bolli base (157.74) and O/S daily studies are now concerns for bears. Bulls now
need a close above the 100-DMA to ease bearish pressure and above the 21-DMA
(158.95) to return focus to 159.55-69 where Mar & Apr highs are noted.
     BOBL TECHS: (M18) Remains Supported Ahead Of 55-DMA
*RES 4: 131.022 21-DMA 
*RES 3: 130.980 Hourly support Apr 19 now resistance 
*RES 2: 130.900 Low Apr 10 now resistance 
*RES 1: 130.760 High Apr 24
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 130.620
*SUP 1: 130.550 Low Apr 25
*SUP 2: 130.519 55-DMA
*SUP 3: 130.380 Low Mar 13
*SUP 4: 130.210 Low Mar 9
*COMMENTARY: Bulls take comfort in support emerging ahead of the 55-DMA but look
for a close above 130.760 to confirm an easing of bearish pressure. Bulls then
need a close above 130.900 to hint at a move back to 131.143-310 where the
100-WMA (131.143) & Mar highs are noted. Bears look for a close below the 55-DMA
to shift initial focus to 130.210 and overall focus to 129.840. The Bolli base
(130.637) is the key concern for bears.
     SCHATZ TECHS: (M18) 55-DMA Continues To Support
*RES 4: 111.945 Highs Apr 5 & 6 
*RES 3: 111.930 Highs Apr 10 & 13 
*RES 2: 111.909 21-DMA 
*RES 1: 111.890 High Apr 19
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 111.845
*SUP 1: 111.830 Low Mar 14, Bollinger band base, 55-DMA 
*SUP 2: 111.805 Low Mar 9 
*SUP 3: 111.715 Low Feb 27 
*SUP 4: 111.705 200-WMA
*COMMENTARY: Hesitation ahead of the 21-DMA took its toll with a sell-off that
is finding support ahead of the 55-DMA. Bears continue to look for a close below
111.805 to confirm traction below DMAs and initially target 111.715. The
Bollinger base is key concern for bears. Bulls need a close above 111.890 to
ease bearish pressure and above 111.945 to confirm traction above the 21-DMA and
shift initial focus back to 111.988-990 where the Bollinger top is noted.
     GILT TECHS: (M18) Finding Support On Dips
*RES 4: 122.84 Highs Apr 11 & 18 
*RES 3: 122.19 Alternating hourly support/resistance 
*RES 2: 122.17 100-DMA 
*RES 1: 121.47 High Apr 23
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 121.03
*SUP 1: 120.69 Low Mar 21 
*SUP 2: 120.48 Low Feb 27 
*SUP 3: 120.29 Low Feb 22 
*SUP 4: 119.83 Low Feb 20
*COMMENTARY: Bulls take comfort in support emerging ahead of the 120.69 support.
Daily studies approaching O/S and the Bollinger band base (120.96) remain key
concerns for bears and now limit follow through. Bears look for a close below
120.69 to hint at a move back to 119.29-83 with below 120.29 to confirm. Bulls
need a close above 121.47 to gain breathing room and above 122.19 now to shift
focus back to 122.84-123.03.
     SHORT-STERLING TECHS: (M18) 99.145 Support Remains Key
*RES 4: 99.232 100-DMA
*RES 3: 99.220 Repeated daily highs Feb
*RES 2: 99.210 High Apr 20
*RES 1: 99.185 Low Apr 23 now resistance
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 99.175
*SUP 1: 99.160 Low Apr 24
*SUP 2: 99.145 High Apr 18 now support
*SUP 3: 99.121 21-DMA
*SUP 4: 99.095 Low Apr 13
*COMMENTARY: With the move previously identified as being a little overdone the
contract is now offered having dipped below the 55-DMA (99.165) as daily studies
correct from O/B. Bears need a close below 99.145 to increase confidence and
below the 21-DMA to return focus to 99.075-095 where 2018 lows are situated.
Bulls look for a close above 99.185 to gain breathing room and above the 100-DMA
to shift focus to the key 99.270 resistance.
     EURIBOR TECHS: (Z18) Bears Now Need Close Below 100.295

*RES 2: 100.320 - Repeated Daily highs Dec 
*RES 1: 100.305 - 2018 High Mar 27 & 28, Apr 6 & 9

*SUP 2: 100.285 - Daily Bull channel base off 2018 Low
*SUP 3: 100.283 - 55-DMA
*SUP 4: 100.275 - High Mar 7 now support
*COMMENTARY: Continued hesitation around 2018 highs sees pressure on the 100.295
support. Bears now look for a close below this level to shift initial focus back
to 100.270-285 where 55 & 100-DMAs and the bull channel base off 2018 lows are
noted. Bulls still need a close above 100.305 to target 100.320-340 with the
daily bull channel top now noted at 100.322.
     US 10-YR FUTURE TECHS: (M18) Bulls Need Close Above 119-14+

*COMMENTARY: Fresh 2018 & 7yr lows continue with bears initially targeting
117-22+/118-24 where the weekly bear channel base and 2011 low are located. The
Bollinger base and O/S studies remain key concerns for bears with potential to
limit follow through. Bulls still need a close above 119-14+ to gain breathing
room and above Y120-06+ to initially target a correction back to 120-21+/24.

*COMMENTARY: Pressure remains on 3.041-073 as fresh 2018 & 4+yr highs continue.
The Bollinger top (3.029) & O/B studies remain concerns for bulls. Initial
support is noted at 3.007. Bears need a close below to gain breathing room and
target a correction back to 2.925-957 and below 2.925 to shift initial focus
back to 2.814-876 where 21 (2.850) & 55 (2.858) DMAs are situated. Bulls look
for a close above 3.073 to shift focus 3.168-223 where the weekly bull channel
top is noted.
