BTPs further cemented the uptrend mid-last week, extending the gains to hit fresh alltime highs. Friday's price action was less constructive, but a bullish outlook remains intact. A positive outlook follows the recent resumption of the uptrend that started May 19 - gains on Jul 6 and 7 resulted in a breach of a former key resistance at 152.47, Jun 14 high and established a bullish price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Subsequent gains reinforce the positive theme and attention is on vol band resistance layered between 155.76 - 156.73.
