BTP futures failed to hold on to last week’s high of 116.97 on Apr 6. The contract traded lower Thursday and price is approaching 114.04, the Mar 31 low and a key short-term support. A break of this level would strengthen a bearish threat and expose 113.71, a Fibonacci retracement. On the upside, key resistance is unchanged at 117.17, the Mar 24 high, where a break is required to reinstate a bullish theme.
