Bearish conditions in BTP futures remain intact - this week's fresh lows reinforce the current bear cycle. Recent weakness resulted in a break of the 20- and 50-day EMAs and the move through 124.07 on Aug 19, confirmed a break of trendline support drawn from the Jun 14 low. Sights are on 119.57, the Jul 21 low and a key support. Initial firm resistance is seen at 123.16, Aug 25 high. A break would ease the current bearish pressure.
