The index needs to sustain above 102 to continue moving up, else can fall back towards 101-100.50 again. Euro is headed towards 1.10 which needs to sustain to prevent a further dip to 1.0950/1.09.

The US Treasury yields have and come close to their resistances. While the broader trend is down, a break above the immediate resistances can trigger an extended rise before the downtrend resumes.

But resistances are there to cap the upside and keep the downtrend intact. The yields have room to fall more. The 10Yr GoI is moving up in line with our expectation. The yield can rise further from here.
