US 5-YR FUTURE TECHS: (U18) Bears Need Close Below 113-12

*RES 4: 114-09+ Daily Bull channel top

*RES 3: 113-29+ High May 31

*RES 2: 113-26  High July 6

*RES 1: 113-21+ High July 9

*PRICE: 113-18+ @ 0930GMT

*SUP 2: 113-12+ Low June 26

*SUP 3: 113-09+ 55-DMA

*SUP 4: 113-05  Low June 21

*COMMENTARY: Bulls took comfort in the 113-12+ level supporting last week and

retaining pressure on the 113-21+ resistance. Bulls need a close above 113-21+

to return immediate focus to 113-26/29+. The daily bull channel base is

currently supporting with bears needing a close below 113-12+ to confirm a break

and below 113-05 to confirm traction below the 55-DMA and initially target

112-25+/29.

     US 10-YR FUTURE TECHS: (U18) 120-13/20 Resistance Region Key

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

*RES 3: 120-20  High July 6

*RES 2: 120-18+ Bollinger band top

*RES 1: 120-13  Hourly resistance June 12

*PRICE: 120-10 @ 0930GMT

*SUP 1: 120-01+ 21-DMA

*SUP 2: 119-30  Low July 3

*SUP 3: 119-26+ Low June 26

*SUP 4: 119-17+ 55-DMA

*COMMENTARY: Bulls take comfort in support emerging on dips back towards the

21-DMA (120-02+) last week. Bears need a close below 119-26+ to confirm traction

below the 21-DMA and pressure 119-13+/17+ where the 55-DMA is found. The

120-13/20 resistance region remains key. 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 30-YR FUTURE TECHS: (U18) Apr Monthly High Key Resistance

*RES 4: 147-03 Monthly High Apr (Cont)

*RES 3: 146-11 High July 6

*RES 2: 146-06 Weekly Bear channel top off Sept high

*RES 1: 145-28 High July 9

*PRICE: 145-18 @ 0930GMT

*SUP 1: 144-27 Low July 5, 21-DMA

*SUP 2: 144-16 Low July 3

*SUP 3: 143-30 Low June 2

*SUP 4: 143-11 55-DMA

*COMMENTARY: Hesitation ahead of the 145-28/147-03 resistance region is less

than ideal for bulls. Bulls continue to look for a close above 147-03 to confirm

a break of the bear channel top and initially target a daily bull channel top

around 147-26. The 144-16 support remains key. Bears need a close below this

level to confirm a break of the 21-DMA and below 143-30 to pressure 143-01/13

where 55 & 100-DMAs are noted.

     US EURODOLLAR FUTURE TECHS: (U18) 97.560 Resistance Key

*RES 4: 97.680 Weekly high Mar 23

*RES 3: 97.640 Monthly high May 30

*RES 2: 97.595 High May 31

*RES 1: 97.560 Repeated Daily highs June

*PRICE: 97.545 @ 0930GMT

*SUP 1: 97.532 55-DMA

*SUP 2: 97.520 Repeated Daily lows June

*SUP 3: 97.500 Low June 14

*SUP 4: 97.475 2018 Low Apr 25, May 8 & June 13

*COMMENTARY: Hesitation ahead of the 100-DMA (97.557) continues with the 55-DMA

supporting and having supported the past couple of weeks. Bears need a close

below 97.520 to confirm breaks of 21 (97.541) & 55-DMAs, easing bullish

pressure, with a close below 97.500 then required to pressure the key 97.475

support. Above 97.560 ends bearish hopes and shifts initial focus to 97.595 and

overall focus to 97.640.
