Treasury futures have traded higher this week. The contract has pierced resistance at 110-20, the 76.4% retracement of the Dec 3 - Jan 13 bear leg. 
This broadens the bullish recovery and signals scope for a climb towards the 111-00 handle, ahead of 111-22+, the Dec 3 high and a key resistance. Initial firm support to monitor is 109-11, the 50-day EMA. A move below this average is required to highlight a potential reversal.
