BTP futures remain in a clear downtrend following the recent extension lower to 144.48 on Mar 19. However, this week prices have recovered and a corrective cycle is in play, allowing a recent oversold condition to unwind. The break of the 20-day EMA exposes the 50-day EMA at 147.39 that was tested yesterday. This average represents a firm resistance and a clear break would signal scope for further gains. On the downside, initial support is at 145.64.
