*COMMENTARY: Topside hesitation has resulted in a sell-off Monday and a dip
below the 55-DMA (111.878). The Bollinger base is noted at 111.843 and is the
key concern for bears. Bears continue to look for a close below 111.805 to
confirm traction below the 100-DMA and immediate focus on 111.715. Daily studies
are well placed for a fresh leg lower. Bulls now need a close above 111.900 to
ease bearish pressure. Above 111.945 is needed to initially target 111.990.

*COMMENTARY: The contract continues to trade sideways in a broad 120.69-123.03
range. M18 is now flirting with the 55-DMA (121.79). Bears continue to look for
a close below 121.49 to confirm a break of the 55-DMA and to pressure
120.69-121.11 where the bull channel base is noted. Below 120.69 is needed to
target 119.29 Feb lows. Bulls still need a close above 123.03 to initially

*SUP 4: 99.228 100-DMA
*COMMENTARY: Hesitation ahead of the 200-DMA came to an end with an aggressive
rally and bullish close that sees immediate focus now on 99.340-370 where 2018
highs are located. O/B daily studies remain the key concern for bulls. Bears now
need a close below the 200-DMA to gain breathing room and hint at a correction
back to 99.210-240 where the 100-DMA is situated.
EURIBOR TECHS: (Z18) Focus Shifts To 100-DMA

*SUP 4: 100.252 - 200-DMA
*COMMENTARY: The correction lower from recent 2018 highs has resulted in a
marginal close below the 55-DMA (100.292) and the daily bull channel base off
2018 lows. Immediate focus now shifts to the 100-DMA with a close below needed
to target the 200-DMA. Bulls now need a close above 100.305 to ease bearish
pressure and above 100.310 to reconfirm focus on 100.320-340.

*SUP 4: 117-07+ Weekly Bear channel base
*COMMENTARY: Follow through below 119-08 was lacking but bears take comfort in
the bounce remaining capped ahead of the 21-DMA. Bulls look for a close above
120-06+ to confirm breaks of 21 & 55-DMAs and shift initial focus back to
120-20+/24. Bears now look for a close below 118-31 to add weight to the case
for a test of the weekly bear channel base coming in around 117-07+ today. Daily
studies are well placed for a fresh leg lower.
US 10-YR YIELD TECHS: 55-DMA Now Key Support

*SUP 4: 2.879 - 55-DMA
*COMMENTARY: Daily studies remain well placed for a fresh leg higher with focus
back on 3.041-073. Bulls continue to look for a close above 3.073 to confirm
traction above 3.000 and the 2018 high and target 3.219-232 where the weekly
bull channel top is noted. Bears now need a close below 2.937 to confirm a break
of the 21-DMA & ease bullish pressure. Overall below the 55-DMA (2.879) is
needed to shift initial focus back to 2.814.
EUROSTOXX50 TECHS: Topside Hesitation Less Than Ideal

*RES 3: 3600.36 Low Jan 31 now resistance

*SUP 3: 3523.00 Low May 3
*SUP 4: 3515.46 200-DMA
*COMMENTARY: Follow through has been lacking on the break of 3570.95 but bulls
take comfort in support emerging on dips. Bears continue to look for a close
below 3540.14 to gain breathing room and below the 200-DMA to target a
correction back to 3464.35. Daily studies lingering at O/B levels is less than
ideal. In saying that, bulls look for a close above 3600.36 to reconfirm focus
on 2018 highs.
