BTP futures traded sharply higher on Feb 2 and the contract breached resistance at 116.94, the Jan 25 high. The contract has pulled back from its recent highs, however, the move lower is considered corrective - for now. Key short-term support to watch lies at 113.47, the Jan 30 low. A break would be a bearish development. A reversal higher would signal scope for a test of firm resistance at 118.56, the Jan 19 high and 118.96, the Dec 7 high.
