US 5YR FUTURE TECHS: (M18) 113-270 Support Under Scrutiny
*RES 4: 115-012 Hourly high Feb 6
*RES 3: 114-270 Feb 9 high
*RES 2: 114-200 Feb 7 high
*RES 1: 114-127/155 Mar 2, Feb 14 highs
*PRICE: 113-300 @1040GMT
*SUP 1: 113-270 Congestion area Feb 15-Feb 28
*SUP 2: 113-222/232 Feb 20-Feb 28 lows
*SUP 3: 113-210 Feb 15 low
*SUP 4: 112-275 1% volatility band
*COMMENTARY* Had gradually continued to recover since hitting a 113-210 low in
the middle of last month. Now facing resistance from 114-127/114-155, above
which would allow a higher 114-200/114-270 rise, as we claw back losses from the
Feb 6 high at 115-127. Meanwhile, nearest support from 114-005 low has been
lost, leaving the congested 113-270 area and then 113-222 to face the music. A
loss of the latter would return overall bias/interest to the downside.
US 10YR FUTURE TECHS: (M18) 119-265/119-230 Support Under Investigation
*RES 4: 122-030 Feb 6 high
*RES 3: 121-145 76.4% Fibo of 122-020/119-140
*RES 2: 121-010 Feb 9 high, 61.8% Fibo of 122-020/119-140
*RES 1: 120-230/240 Mar 1 high, 50% Fibo of 122-020/119-140
*PRICE: 119-300 @1041GMT
*SUP 1: 119-265 Mar 6, Mar 9 lows
*SUP 2: 119-230 Congestion area Feb 15-Feb 28
*SUP 3: 119-140 Feb 15 low
*SUP 4: 118-285 1% volatility band
*COMMENTARY* The recovery stalled at 120-230, just beneath the 50% Fibo retrace
level of the preceding 122-020/119-140 fall, at 129-240. Will need the added
stimulus of a break above the latter, before considering the potential for
increased 121-010/121-145 gains. In the interim, support from 120-025 low has
been lost, exposing the congested 119-230 region. Back below here would caution
and switch interest back to the downside.
US 30YR FUTURE TECHS: (M18) 142-21 Support Becomes Pivotal To Direction
*RES 4: 146-21 Feb 6 high
*RES 3: 146-01 38.2% Fibo of 153-14/141-14
*RES 2: 145-14 76.4% Fibo of 146-21/141-14
*RES 1: 144-20/24 Mar 2 high, 1% volatility band
*PRICE: 143-04 @1049GMT
*SUP 1: 142-21 Mar 5 low
*SUP 2: 142-04 Feb 27 low
*SUP 3: 141-28 1% volatility band
*SUP 4: 141-14 Feb 21 low
*COMMENTARY* The recovery from last month's 141-14 base made it back to the
upper 1% volatility band, now at 144-24 by time today. Will require a further
rise through here however and then the 76.4% Fibo retrace level at 145-14,
before any real belief in a continued rise will occur. Meantime, support from
the Mar 2 low at 143-05 has been lost, so focus is now on 142-21 and then the
more important Feb 27 low at 142-04.
     US EURODOLLAR TECHS: (M18) Pullback Pressuring 97.725 Support
*RES 4: 97.860/870 Feb 2 low, 61.8% Fibo of 97.980-97.700
*RES 3: 97.840 50% Fibo of 97.980-97.700
*RES 2: 97.820 Mar 2 high
*RES 1: 97.780/795 Hourly resistance
*PRICE: 97.725 @1055GMT
*SUP 1: 97.725 Mar 1 low
*SUP 2: 97.700 Feb 28 low
*SUP 3: 97.640 Jul 13 2015 low
*SUP 4: 97.625 1.618 swing of 97.700-97.820
*COMMENTARY* The continuous decline finally came to a halt at 97.700 earlier
this month. The subsequent recovery began to correct losses, initially from the
Feb 6 high at 97.980. In this respect, following the Mar 2 bounce to 97.820, the
next Fibo retrace level higher is the 50% at 97.840. Has faltered in the
meantime, the Mar 1 low at 97.725 now under pressure and the protection to
97.700 again and potentially lower. Nearest resistance falls to 97.780-97.795.
