A bear threat in GBPUSD remains present. Recent weakness highlights the end of the corrective bounce between Oct 14 - 17. A resumption of weakness would expose key short-term support at 1.3249, the Oct 14 low and a bear trigger. Clearance of this level would resume the downleg that has been in place since Sep 17. Key near-term resistance is at 1.3471, the Oct 17 high. A break of this hurdle would instead signal a possible reversal.
Bobl futures are trading closer to their recent lows and a bear cycle remains intact for now. The move down that started Oct 17 is - for now - considered corrective and has allowed an overbought trend condition to unwind. Attention is on the next important support at 118.153, the 50-day EMA. A clear breach of this average would signal scope for a deeper retracement. Initial resistance is at last Friday’s high of 118.600.
