  • SUP 3: 117.34 Low Jul 26
  • SUP 4: 116.54 76.4% retracement of the Jun 11 - Oct 1 bull cycle

BTP futures traded higher last week. Despite the latest bounce, the contract maintains a bearish tone. A resumption of the downtrend would refocus attention on 117.70, a Fibonacci retracement point. Initial support to watch is 119.12, the Nov 13 low. 120.25, the 50-day EMA, has been pierced, a clear break of the average would cancel the bearish threat. This would open 121.50, a Fibonacci retracement point.
