  • SUP 3: 98.00 Round number support
  • SUP 4: 97.30 1.236 Fibonacci retracement proj of the Sep 2 - 17 rally

A bear threat in Gilt futures remains present - for now - despite yesterday’s strong gains. The recent move lower has exposed the next key support at 98.11, the Sep 2 low and a bear trigger. A break of this level would strengthen the bearish theme and open 98.00. On the upside, key near-term resistance is seen at 99.38, the 20-day EMA. It has been pierced, however a clear break of this average is required to highlight a possible reversal.
