  • SUP 4: 110.77 Low Jan 4 and 76.4% of the Dec 30 - Jan 19 rally

BTP futures gapped lower at the open, printing a fresh pullback low at 112.51. This keeps the outlook bearish, and defies views that the recent weakness was corrective in nature. The next downside levels to watch cross at 112.26, the 61.8% retracement of the Dec 30 - Jan 19 rally. 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.
