The Monday session saw prices spill above the key short-term resistance at

150.22 and break above the downtrend line in place since July. This saw prices

print the best levels since mid-September, and bulls now eyes a recovery above

the 150.38 Fib level to cement upside. 149.95 remains the base for JGB futures

for now, which should continue to provide some modest support. A break below

149.95 would open the Aug 2 spike low at 149.75 and 149.65 below there.
