The primary trend direction in Bund futures remains down and last week’s gains are considered corrective. A recent fresh cycle low on May 9 reinforced the bearish condition and confirmed, once again, an extension of the price sequence of lower lows and lower highs - the definition of a downtrend. MA studies remain in a bear mode. A resumption of weakness would refocus attention on 150.49, the bear trigger. Firm trend resistance is at 156.00.
