A fresh short-term cycle high last week in GBPUSD confirmed a resumption of the current bull leg. Scope is seen for a climb towards 1.3452 next, 61.8% of the Sep 17 - Nov 4 bear leg. Clearance of this hurdle would strengthen a bull theme and open 1.3527, the Oct 1 high. Initial firm support is seen at 1.3277, the 20-day EMA. A clear break of this average would highlight a bearish development and signal a possible reversal.
The trend set-up in Bobl futures remains bearish following a recent impulsive sell-off. Price has breached support at 116.790, the Nov 14 and 20 low. This confirmed a resumption of the downtrend that started mid-October. Sights are on 115.660 next, a Fibonacci projection. Note that the trend is oversold, a stronger recovery would allow this set-up to unwind. First important resistance is at 116.770, the Dec 3 high.
