BUND TECHS: (M18) Below 21-DMA To Ease Bullish Pressure
*RES 4: 160.26 Low Dec 13 now resistance
*RES 3: 159.99 Bollinger band top
*RES 2: 159.69 Monthly High Mar 28
*RES 1: 159.55 High Apr 18
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 159.26
*SUP 1: 158.91 High May 2 now support
*SUP 2: 158.81 21-DMA
*SUP 3: 158.38 Low Apr 30
*SUP 4: 157.90 Hourly resistance Apr 26 now support
*COMMENTARY: Bullish confidence grew with a close above the 21-DMA that sees
immediate focus on 159.69 and bulls looking for a close above to shift initial
focus to 160.26-98 where Dec highs are noted. Bears still need a close below the
21-DMA to gain breathing room and below 158.38 to target a correction back to
157.34-43. Daily studies now approaching O/B are a concern for bulls. The
Bollinger top is expected to limit follow through on a break higher.
BOBL TECHS: (M18) 131.070 Support Remains Key
*RES 4: 131.511 200-WMA
*RES 3: 131.450 High Jan 23 (Cont)
*RES 2: 131.353 Bollinger band top
*RES 1: 131.310 High Apr 3
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 131.160
*SUP 1: 131.080 100-WMA
*SUP 2: 131.070 High Apr 30 now support
*SUP 3: 130.880 Low May 3
*SUP 4: 130.780 Hourly resistance Apr 26 now support
*COMMENTARY: Bulls took comfort in the close above the 100-WMA that sees
immediate pressure on the 131.310 Apr high. Bulls look for a close above this
level to target the 131.511-905 region where the 200-WMA and bull channel top
are located. The Bollinger top is likely to limit follow through and is a
concern for bulls. Bears need a close below 131.070 to gain breathing room and
below 130.880 to shift focus to 130.510-683.
SCHATZ TECHS: (M18) Topside Hesitation Less Than Ideal
*RES 4: 111.990 Monthly High Mar 28
*RES 3: 111.946 Bollinger band top
*RES 2: 111.945 Highs Apr 5 & 6
*RES 1: 111.940 High May 4
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 111.915
*SUP 1: 111.900 Low Nay 4
*SUP 2: 111.875 Low Apr 27
*SUP 3: 111.860 55-DMA
*SUP 4: 111.830 Low Mar 14
*COMMENTARY: With bulls currently focused on a break of 111.945 needed to
confirm initial focus on 111.990 topside hesitation is less than ideal. Initial
support is now noted at 111.900 but bears look for a close below the 55-DMA to
confirm an easing of bullish pressure. Below 111.805 is then needed to confirm a
break of the 100-DMA (100.820) and shift immediate focus to 111.715. The
Bollinger top remains the key concern for bulls.
GILT TECHS: (M18) Hesitating Ahead Of Apr High
*RES 4: 123.57 Low Dec 1 now resistance
*RES 3: 123.03 High Apr 4
*RES 2: 122.96 Bollinger band top
*RES 1: 122.94 High May 4
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 122.56
*SUP 1: 122.08 Hourly resistance May 2 now support
*SUP 2: 121.58 55-DMA
*SUP 3: 121.07 Low Mar 26
*SUP 4: 120.69 Low Mar 21
*COMMENTARY: Support emerging on dips back towards the 55-DMA adds to bullish
confidence with immediate focus back on the 123.03 resistance. Bulls look for a
close above this level to initially target the daily bull channel top around
123.75. Daily studies approaching O/B are a concern for bulls. In saying that,
the 55-DMA support remains key with bears needing a close below to ease bullish
pressure and shift initial focus back to 120.69.
SHORT-STERLING TECHS: (M18) Hesitating Ahead Of 200-DMA
*RES 4: 99.370 2018 High Jan 3

*SUP 2: 99.240 Repeated daily lows Apr/May
*SUP 3: 99.230 100-DMA
*SUP 4: 99.210 High Apr 20 now support
*COMMENTARY: The contract found support ahead of the 100-DMA providing the base
for a rally and close above 99.270 Thursday that sees immediate focus on the
200-DMA. Bulls look for a close above the 200-DMA to shift focus to 99.340-370
where 2018 highs are noted. Bears now look for a close below 99.270 to gain
breathing room and below 99.210 to confirm traction below the 100-DMA and
initially target 99.145-160.
EURIBOR TECHS: (Z18) Bulls Focused On 100.320-340
*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: 100.310 - 2018 High Repeatedly May
*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 100.310

*SUP 2: 100.295 - Repeated daily lows Apr
*SUP 3: 100.289 - Daily Bull channel base off 2018 Low, 55-DMA
*SUP 4: 100.275 - High Mar 7 now support
*COMMENTARY: Having found support at 100.295 bulls took comfort in fresh 2018 &
19mth highs with immediate focus now on 100.320-340. Bulls have room to move
before studies become O/B. Bears now need a close below 100.295 to ease bullish
pressure and to shift initial focus back to 100.273-289 where 55 & 100-DMAs and
the bull channel base off 2018 lows are noted.

*SUP 3: 118-31 2018 Low Apr 25
*SUP 4: 118-24 Low Apr 13 2011
*COMMENTARY: Bulls took comfort in support emerging on the dip below 119-09
Wednesday with bears now needing a close below 119-08 to ease renewed bullish
pressure and return initial focus to 2018 lows. Correcting O/S daily studies
remain the key concern for bears. Bulls look for a close above Y120-06+ to
initially target a correction back to 120-20+/24 and above 120-24 to shift focus
to 121-01+/12 with the 100-DMA at 121-01+.
US 10-YR YIELD TECHS: Bears Now Need Close Below 55-DMA

*SUP 4: 2.871 - 55-DMA
*COMMENTARY: Despite remaining heavy bulls took comfort in support emerging back
towards the 21-DMA Friday. The 55-DMA is seen as key support this week with
bears needing a close below to add weight to the case for a move back to
2.717-753 where the 100-DMA (2.753) is situated. Bulls now look for a close
above 2.996 to gain breathing room and above 3.073 to shift focus 3.183-223
where the weekly bull channel top is noted.

to 3383.17-3435.58 where the 55-DMA (3430.55) is situated.
