Bund futures traded firmly early Friday before fading into the close - a pattern that's extended into Monday trading. Nonetheless, bullish momentum remains intact with the Thursday low still some way off. Recent gains confirmed a resumption of the uptrend that has been in place since Jun 5 and also confirmed a recent bullish pattern, an ascending triangle. Having briefly traded above 178.00 intraday, futures now need to close above the mark to re-accelerate any rally. The ultimate target holds at 179.56, Mar 6 high. Support is at 176.83.
