BTP futures traded lower last week and breached support at 108.08, the Sep 28 low. Nonetheless, prices have rallied sharply across the first two days of the week, narrowing the gap with the 20-day EMA - which marks first resistance. Short-term gains are considered corrective for now, but strength north of here would prove constructive for the outlook. To resume the downtrend, prices need to slip back below 107.08, a Fibonacci projection on the continuation chart.
