OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - Corrective Cycle In Bunds Still In Play

OUTLOOK
  • In the FI space, Bund futures have pulled back from their recent highs. The move down has resulted in a break of the 20-day EMA. This signals scope for a deeper retracement near-term, potentially towards the 50-day EMA, at 133.60. Clearance of this average would undermine a bullish theme. For bulls, a stronger reversal higher would refocus attention on key resistance and the bull trigger at 135.66, the Aug 5 high.
  • A bull cycle in Gilt futures is still in play, however, the pullback from last Tuesday’s peak highlights a correction. The bearish extension is allowing an overbought condition to unwind. Support at 99.95, the 20-day EMA, has been breached. The clear break of this average signals scope for a deeper retracement and exposes 99.29, the Sep 9 low. A reversal higher would refocus sights on 101.54, Sep 17 high.
