Bonds ...
30 Yr. Futures... 142.10 is weekly resistance and the closing upside pivot.
FX...
AUD/USD... 87.35-50 is closing resistance that has to be overcome to believe the pattern. Holding above this level could lead to a run to 88.40.
EURO...for new direction Euro has to see new price action either above 125.10 or firmly below 124.00.
USD/JPY... 112.65 (88.77 Futures) is the place to Buy Dollars / Sell Yen.
AUD/JPY...has traded to it's first tgt level of 101.05. Pattern buy stops are @ 102.35, which should lead to an eventual 105 print.
