OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - Trend Needle In Bunds Points South

OUTLOOK
  • In the FI space, Bund futures are in consolidation mode and the contract continues to trade closer to its recent lows. A bearish theme remains intact. Last week’s impulsive sell-off signals scope for an extension towards 126.28 next, a 2.618 projection of the Feb 5 - 19 - 28 price swing. Further out, 126.00 is also within range. Note that the contract is in oversold territory, a recovery would allow this condition to unwind. Initial firm resistance to watch is seen at 129.41, the Jan 14 low.
  • The short-term trend outlook in Gilt futures is unchanged, it remains bearish. Recent gains appear corrective and the move lower this week, signals the end of the corrective cycle. Recent weakness resulted in a break of support at 91.79, the Feb 20 low. This level also represented a bear trigger and the breach signals scope for a continuation lower, with sights on 90.49 next, a 1.618 projection of the Feb 6 - 20 - Mar 4 price swing. Initial firm resistance is 92.63, the Mar 5 high.
