Bund futures traded sharply lower on Aug 25. The contract has moved below its 20-day EMA and support at 176.21, Aug 11 low. The break lower suggests scope for a deeper short-term corrective pullback with attention on the 50-day EMA that intersects at 175.39. On the upside, price would need to move above the Aug 25 high of 176.87 to ease the current bearish pressure. This would open 177.24, the Aug 17 and 19 high.
