BTP futures are consolidating but trend conditions remain bearish. A price sequence of lower lows and lower highs that highlights a bearish theme is intact and the recent move below 152.94, Sep 9 low, reinforced this condition. The focus is on 151.32 next, a Fibonacci retracement. Key near-term resistance is at 154.64, Sep 23 / 24 high. A break of this hurdle is required to ease bearish pressure. Initial resistance is at 153.37, the 20-day EMA.
