The Sep 15 sharp sell-off in BTP futures cancelled a recent bullish threat and this week’s move lower confirms a resumption of the downtrend. The contract has breached key support at 111.97, the Sep 13 low and this maintains the bearish price sequence of lower lows and lower highs. The focus is on 110.77, a Fibonacci projection. Key short-term resistance has been defined at 113.84, the Sep 14 high. A break would highlight a possible base.
