  • SUP 3: 169.94 76.4% retracement of the Feb 25 - Mar 11 rally
  • SUP 4: 169.24 Low Feb 25 and the bear trigger

Bund futures traded lower Friday extending the pullback from 172.30, Mar 11 high. The failure at 172.30 last week defines this level as a key short-term resistance, where a break is required to trigger stronger gains. While it holds, a bearish risk remains present and fresh weakness would suggest scope for a retest of 169.24, Feb 25 low. Note, the pattern on Mar 11 is a shooting star candle, reinforcing the current bearish theme.
