The bull cycle in Gilt futures appears to have concluded and a bear threat remains present. With the contract trading closer to its recent lows, sights are on the next key support at 98.11, the Sep 2 low. A break of this level would strengthen the bearish theme and open 98.00. On the upside, key near-term resistance is seen at 99.50, the 20-day EMA. A clear break of this average is required to instead highlight a possible reversal.
