Bund futures reversed direction yesterday stalling at the area of resistance highlighted by the 20-day EMA. In pattern terms, yesterday candle formation is a bearish engulfing reversal. This suggests a resumption of the downtrend and if correct, signals scope for a retest of last week's low of 172.08 on Feb 25. Key short-term resistance has been defined at 174.97, yesterday's high. A break would instead signal scope for a stronger recovery.
