OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - Monitoring Resistance In Bunds

OUTLOOK
  • In the FI space, a corrective phase in Bund futures remains in play - for now The Jan 15 rally highlighted a reversal and the start of the correction. An extension higher has allowed an oversold trend condition to unwind. Key short-term resistance is seen at 117.215, the 20-day EMA. On the downside, a break of 116.280, Jan 14 / 15 low, would resume the downtrend. The pullback from Wednesday’s high is potentially an early reversal signal suggesting the correction is over.
