BTP futures traded sharply lower yesterday as the contract extends the reversal from 111.17, the Oct 12 high. The move down this week undermines the recent bullish phase and instead exposes key support and the bear trigger at 107.62, the Oct 4 low. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the long-term downtrend. 111.17 marks the key resistance. A break of this level is required to reinstate a short-term bullish theme.
