     US 5-YR FUTURE TECHS: (M18) Bears Focused On Mar Lows
*RES 4: 114-08+ Daily Bear channel top off Apr high
*RES 3: 114-04  Low Apr 4 now resistance
*RES 2: 114-02+ High Apr 13
*RES 1: 113-31+ High Apr 17
*PRICE: 113-29+ @ 0930GMT
*SUP 1: 113-25+ Low Apr 16, Bollinger band base
*SUP 2: 113-23+ Daily Bear channel base
*SUP 3: 113-19  Monthly Low Mar 21
*SUP 4: 113-05+ Weekly Bollinger band base
*COMMENTARY: Daily studies at O/S levels and the Bollinger base are seen as key
concerns for bears who are currently focused on Mar lows. Bears look for a close
below 113-25+ to add weight to their case. Layers of support remain a concern
for bulls. Bulls now need a close above 113-31+ to gain breathing room and above
114-04 to shift initial focus to 114-08+/10 where the bear channel top off Apr
highs is noted.
US 10-YR FUTURE TECHS: (M18) 120-20+/24 Resistance Remains Key
*RES 4: 121-12  High Apr 2
*RES 3: 121-05  High Apr 4

*SUP 2: 120-03  Low Mar 22
*SUP 3: 120-01+ Bollinger band base
*SUP 4: 119-21+ Repeated Daily lows Feb
*COMMENTARY: The 120-20+/24 resistance region remains key this week following
the break below 120-11 Monday. Bulls need a close above Y120-24 to gain
breathing room and increase the likelihood of a bounce back to 121-05/12. Above
121-12 is needed to kick start topside momentum and initially target
121-23+/122-02 where the 100-DMA is noted. Bears now look for a close below
120-07 to confirm traction below DMAs & shift focus back to 119-14/21+.
US 30-YR FUTURE TECHS: (M18) Bulls Dominate While 144-06 Supports

*RES 1: 146-02 High Apr 17
*PRICE: 145-23 @ 0930GMT
*SUP 1: 144-21 Low Apr 16
*SUP 2: 144-14 Daily Bull channel base off Feb Low
*SUP 3: 144-11 55-DMA
*SUP 4: 144-06 Repeated Daily lows Feb
*COMMENTARY: Volatile trading has defined the week so far with bulls taking
comfort in the bounce from ahead of 144-06/21 where the bull channel base off
Feb lows and the 55-DMA are located. Bulls dominate while 144-06 supports. Bears
need a close below 144-06 to end bullish hopes and initially target 142-21/30.
Bulls now need a close above 146-02 to gain breathing room and reconfirm focus
on 146-28/147-07.

*SUP 3: 97.580 Monthly Low Nov 2008
*SUP 4: 97.491 Daily Bear channel base
*COMMENTARY: Bears remain firmly focused on the 97.480-580 support region where
the Nov 2008 low and bear channel base are situated following repeated 2018 & 9+
year lows. The Bollinger base is the key concern and currently limits follow
through. Layers of resistance are noted 97.660-740 with bulls needing a close
above the 55-DMA to target a correction back to 97.820-874 where the 100-DMA is
found.
