BTP futures remain heavy following the pre-Christmas sell-off. The contract has breached support at 148.25, Dec 1 low as well as 147.36, the key support intersecting with the Nov24 low. The contract’s print at 146.94 narrows the gap with the 76.4% retracement of the Nov 1 - 22 rally at 146.55. Key resistance is at 150.66, the Dec 6 high. A clear break of this hurdle is required to reinstate a bullish theme and open the 151.00 handle.
