BTP futures faded into the Friday close and remained weak Monday. This opens a decent gap with recent highs. The medium-term trend, however, remains positive after the impulsive rally resulted in a print above 118.58, the May 16 high. A continuation of the bull cycle would open the 119.00 handle next ahead of 119.55, a Fibonacci projection. On the downside, initial firm support is seen at 117.36, the 20-day EMA. A pullback would be considered corrective and this would allow an overbought condition to unwind.
