*RES 4: 163.50 Bollinger band top

*RES 3: 163.03 High May 30

*RES 2: 162.93 High July 6

*SUP 2: 162.06 Low July 5

*SUP 3: 162.05 21-DMA

*SUP 4: 161.75 Low June 26

*COMMENTARY: Topside hesitation ahead of 163.03 has defined the past two weeks

which is less than ideal for bulls with daily studies correcting from O/B seen

weighing. Bulls still need a close above 163.03 to add support to the bullish

case for a test of 164.19-42. The 161.26 support remains key this week. Bears

continue to look for a close below 161.75 gain breathing room and below 161.26

to shift initial focus back to 160.22-46 where the 55-DMA (160.46) is situated.

*SUP 4: 131.490 Hourly resistance June 14 now support

*COMMENTARY: Topside hesitation last week resulted in a dip Thursday

reconfirming the significance of the 131.770 support. Bulls still need a close

above 132.330 to confirm focus on 132.660-970. Correcting O/B studies have

weighed the past week but studies are now at neutral levels. Bears now look for

a close below 21-DMA to ease bullish pressure and below 131.770 to initially

target 131.190-325 where the 55-DMA is noted.

111.975 to confirm an easing of bullish pressure and below the 55-DMA to shift

initial focus to 111.815-880 where the 100-DMA is located. Bulls continue to

look for a close above 112.085 to gain breathing room and above 112.155 to

confirm a shift in focus back to 112.270-425 where 2018 highs are noted.

*SUP 4: 122.04 55-DMA

daily TL off May lows (123.09) and the 21-DMA (122.96) with immediate focus

shifting to 122.28. below this level is needed to shift focus to 121.33-99 where

55 & 100-DMAs are situated. Bulls now look for a close above 123.20 to gain

breathing room and above 123.64 to reconfirm overall focus on 124.67.

*SUP 4: 99.136 100-DMA

*COMMENTARY: The contract remains capped ahead of the 21 & 55-DMAs with

immediate focus on the 100-DMA. Bears continue to look for a close below the

100-DMA to shift initial focus back to 99.060 and overall focus back to

98.990-000 where 2018 lows are noted. Bulls now need a close above 21 & 55-DMAs

to gain breathing room and above 99.230 to confirm a break of the bear channel

top and shift immediate focus back to 99.260.

     EURIBOR TECHS: (Z18) 100.300-305 Resistance Remains Key

*RES 4: 100.310 - 2018 High Repeatedly May

*SUP 4: 100.265 - High June 11 now support

*COMMENTARY: The 100.300-305 resistance remains key. Bulls need a close above

this region to confirm a bullish bias and initially target 100.320. Daily

studies correcting from O/B is less than ideal for bulls. Bears now need a close

below the 55-DMA to ease bullish pressure and below 100.265 to confirm a break

of the 200-DMA (100.269), shifting immediate focus back to 100.245 and overall

     US 10-YR FUTURE TECHS: (U18) Bulls Need Close Above 120-20

*RES 4: 120-24  Hourly resistance May 30a

*RES 3: 120-20  High July 6

*RES 2: 120-19+ Bollinger band top

*RES 1: 120-13  Hourly resistance June 12

*PRICE: 120-05+ @ 0430GMT

*SUP 1: 119-30  Low July 3

*SUP 2: 119-26+ Low June 26

*SUP 3: 119-23+ 100-DMA

*SUP 4: 119-16+ 55-DMA

*COMMENTARY: Topside follow through has been lacking so far this week and

weighing on the contract. Layers of support 119-13+/119-26+ are seen as key.

Bears need a close below 119-26+ to confirm a break of the 21-DMA (119-30+) and

below the 100-DMA to pressure 119-13+/16+ where the 55-DMA is found. Bulls

continue to look for a close above 120-13 to gain breathing room and above

120-20 to confirm focus on the key 121-03/12 region.

     US 10-YR YIELD TECHS: 2.884-2.950 Resistance Region Key

*RES 4: 2.935 - Hourly resistance June 21 

*RES 3: 2.900 - High June 26 

*RES 2: 2.884 - High July 3 

*RES 1: 2.875 - High July 10

*PRICE: 2.852 @ 0430GMT

*SUP 1: 2.825 - Hourly support July 11 

*SUP 2: 2.807 - Low July 6 

*SUP 3: 2.790 - Hourly support May 30a 

*SUP 4: 2.759 - Low May 29

*COMMENTARY: Overall bearish focus remains on 2.717-759 where Apr & May lows are

noted with a close below 2.807 to add weight to their case. The Bollinger base

(2.798) and modestly O/S studies remain key concern for bears and limit follow

through. Bulls continue to look for a close above 2.884 to gain breathing room

and above 2.950 to confirm breaks of 21, 55 & 100-DMAs and pressure the key

3.014-050 resistance region.

     EUROSTOXX50 TECHS: Bears Targeting Correction To 200-WMA

*RES 4: 3484.52 55-DMA

*RES 3: 3480.44 High July 10

*RES 2: 3451.99 100-DMA

*RES 1: 3430.30 21-DMA

*PREVIOUS CLOSE: 3422.35

*SUP 1: 3389.44 Alternating daily support/resistance 

*SUP 2: 3341.41 Bollinger band base 

*SUP 3: 3340.50 Low June 27 

*SUP 4: 3322.92 200-WMA

*COMMENTARY: The recovery from June lows looks to have run its course with the

failure ahead of the 55-DMA and correcting O/B studies increasing the risk of a

correction back to the 200-WMA. Bears look for a close below the 200-WMA to

initially pressure 2018 lows. Bulls now need a close above the 100-DMA to gain

breathing room and above the 200-DMA to hint at a move back to 2018 highs.
