BTP futures traded lower last week but has rebounded from 113.83, the Jun 8 low. The contract has recently also pulled back from 116.36, the Jun 2 high. This highlights a developing short-term bearish threat and if correct, suggests potential for a deeper pullback near-term. The next firm support lies at 113.53, the 61.8% retracement of the May 26 - Jun 2 rally. Key resistance to watch is 116.36, a break would reinstate a bullish theme.
