*SUP 4: 114-255 1% volatility band
*COMMENTARY* Fresh downside pressure continues this week following the inability
to traverse the 50% Fibo retrace level at 116-192 last month. A spike low of
115-235 today before again finding some support, ahead of the longer term
supports between 115-192/115-027. Meanwhile, 116-067 still provides main
resistance. Above and congested 116-117/116-147 lies ahead of any attempt at a
real recovery.

*COMMENTARY* 123-290/123-295 support gave way late last month. The subsequent
fall breaking below the long term 76.4% Fibo retrace level at 123-235. A low of
123-125 seen so far, just above the Mar 17 low at 123-115 and also the 3 month
bear channel base at 123-080 today. Subsequently we have seen a rise to 124-025
but still needs through here and then 124-070 before the chance of seeing a
better recovery. Loss of 123-080 would caution now.
US 30YR FUTURE TECHS: (H18) Recovery Still Lacks A 153-17 Break
*RES 4: 154-26/27 Nov 8, Nov 28 highs
*RES 3: 154-15/18 Dec 15, Dec 6 highs

*SUP 3: 150-14 Dec 20 low
*SUP 4: 150-07/10 May 11, Oct 27 lows
*COMMENTARY* The decline at the back end of last month found support from
150-14, keeping us above the key 150-10/150-07 lows from October and May last
year. The subsequent recovery has been impressive, reaching above 152-30
resistance, but with a high of 153-04, so far remains below the next resistance
of note, the 76.4% Fibo retrace level at 153-17. As a result, support moves to
151-12 and then more importantly 151-08/151-07.
     US EURODOLLAR TECHS: (H18) 98.185-98.165 Next Support Area As Decline
Continues
*RES 4: 98.345 Oct 6 low, now resistance
*RES 3: 98.325 Nov 15 high
*RES 2: 98.290 Nov 14 low, Nov 22, 24, 28 & 29 highs

*SUP 3: 98.080 Dec 2015 low
*SUP 4: 98.055 Nov 2015 low
*COMMENTARY* Have finally seen a slip below 98.200, opening the way for a look
at 98.185-98.165 where the next layer of support lies. Any lower than this and
there is the chance for a potentially deeper fall, as not much is currently then
evident ahead of the December 2015 low at 98.080. Meanwhile, the failure to
recover through 98.245-98.250 has been the catalyst for the latest fall, still
need back above here for any respite.
