  • A bear threat in Gilt futures remains present. Attention is on key support and the bear trigger at 97.57, the Jan 25 low. It has been pierced, a clear break of this level would confirm a resumption of the downtrend and open the 97.00 handle. A key short-term resistance has been defined at 100.62, the Feb 1 high. Clearance of this level is required to reinstate the recent bullish theme and this would instead open 100.76, 50.0% of the Dec 27 - Jan 25 bear leg. 98.90, the 20-day EMA marks initial resistance.
