A bear threat in Gilt futures remains present. The Oct 4 impulsive sell-off, and this week’s move lower, reinforces a bearish theme. The contract has traded through support at 98.11, the Sep 2 low and a bear trigger. The break strengthens the downtrend, signalling scope for a deeper retracement. 96.23, projection support, and the 96.00 handle have now given way, exposing the 2.0% 10-dma envelope line at 95.58. Initial firm resistance is seen at 98.11, the Sep 2 low.
