Ceilings & Supply Zones

Above current price, Treasury bond futures faces resistance zones where selling pressure has historically intensified. These levels represent previous supply zones, profit-taking areas, or structural barriers that price needs to overcome for continuation.

Volatility compression creating false calm environment; daily ranges compressing from 1.0-1.5 handles toward 0.5-0.75 handles as MOVE declines to 79.87 yet yesterday's breakdown on CPI with 30Y yields at 5.02% suggests potential for violent expansion creating 1.5-2.0 handle daily swings if inflation narrative persists; current 112.31 price near bottom of consolidation with June FOMC 31 days away creating near-term binary catalyst void
