BTP futures traded sharply lower Thursday. The break of support at 142.51, Mar 1 low, signalled an important intraday breach that led to a move below 140.52, the 76.4% retracement of the Feb 16 - Mar 1 rally. This suggests scope for a continuation lower and has exposed the key support at 138.60, Feb 16 low and the bear trigger. Initial resistance is seen at 143.85, Mar 10 high, where a break is required to ease the developing bearish threat.
