BTP TECHS: (H5) Bear Cycle Extension

BTP TECHS
Fixed Income Technical AnalysisCEEMEAEurozoneItalyBulletMarketsFixed Income Bullets
  • RES 4: 123.34 High Dec 11 and key resistance     
  • RES 3: 122.85 High Dec 12  
  • RES 2: 121.94 High Dec 13  
  • RES 1: 120.45/120.79 High Jan 2 / 20-day EMA   
  • PRICE: 119.39 @ Close Jan 3 
  • SUP 1: 119.11 Low Nov 18        
  • SUP 2: 118.80 76.4% retracement of the Nov 7 - Dec 11 bull cycle  
  • SUP 3: 118.51 Low Nov 8
  • SUP 4: 117.40 Low Nov 7 and a key support      

The current bear cycle in BTP futures remains in play and Friday’s extension lower reinforces current conditions. The contract has recently breached the 20-day EMA and sights are on 118.80, a Fibonacci retracement point. Clearance of this level would strengthen the bearish theme. Key resistance and the bull trigger has been defined at 123.34, the Dec 11 high. Initial firm resistance is seen at 120.79, the 20-day EMA.
