Bund futures gains stalled Mar 3 at the area of resistance highlighted by the 20-day EMA. In pattern terms, the candle formation on this day is a bearish engulfing reversal. This suggests a resumption of the downtrend and if correct, signals scope for a retest of 169.24, Feb 25 low. Key short-term resistance has been defined at 172.09, Mar 3 high. A break would instead signal scope for a stronger recovery.
