Despite the latest recovery, a bearish theme in Bobl futures remains intact. A strong sell-off on Aug 15 highlights a bearish threat, once again. The contract has pierced support at 116.970, the Jul 25 low and a bear trigger. A clear breach of this level would set the scene for an extension towards 116.849, a Fibonacci projection. Key short-term resistance to watch is 117.514, the 50-day EMA.
A consolidation mode dominates for now in EURUSD. The trend set up however, remains bullish. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode position, highlighting a dominant medium-term uptrend. A resumption of gains would expose key resistance and the bull trigger at 1.1829, the Jul 1 high. Clearance of this level would resume the uptrend. Support to watch lies at 1.1588, the 50-day EMA. Major support rests at 1.1392, the Aug 1 low.
A bear threat in Bund futures remains present. The contract traded sharply lower Friday resulting in a breach of 128.84, the Jul 25 low and bear trigger. Note that the 129.00 handle marks the base of a broad range and a clear range breakout would strengthen a bearish threat. This would open 128.40 initially, the Apr 9 low. Strength above the 50-day EMA of 129.89, is required to signal a reversal. Resistance at the 20-day EMA is at 129.58.
