TECHS: Price Signal Summary - Key Support In Treasuries Remains Exposed

MARKET INSIGHT
  • In the equity space conditions are unchanged and bulls remain in charge. E-mini S&P futures are consolidating close to recent highs. The focus is on the psychological 4000 level.
  • In the FX space:
    • In EURUSD 1.1990, Mar 11 high, represents the trigger for a stronger S/T recovery. Continued weakness would open 1.1836, Mar 9 low where a break confirms a resumption of this year's downtrend.
    • USDJPY remains in an uptrend. The focus is on 109.56, 61.8% of the Mar 2020 - Jan downleg and an important pivot resistance. Support is at 108.34 Mar 10 low.
      • The trend remains overbought. Price however has yet to display a reversal and signal a top.
  • On the commodity front, a bullish engulfing candle in Gold on Mar 9 is still in play. It highlights a S/T base at $1676.9, Mar 8 low. The focus is on the 20-day EMA at $1745.1. For bears, a break of $1676.9 would resume the downtrend. Oil contracts remain below the Mar 8 high. The short-term directional risk appears skewed to the downside.
