A bull cycle in BTP futures remains intact, however, a short-term bearish phase remains in play and the contract traded lower again on Monday. This has resulted in a break of support at 114.46, the Jan 16 low. The breach threatens the bull theme and signals scope for a deeper pullback. Attention is on 113.46 and 112.26, Fibonacci retracement points. Firm resistance has been defined at 116.94, the Jan 25 high.
