BTP TECHS: (Z3) Oversold But Remains In A Downtrend

  • RES 3: 112.52 High Sep 20
  • RES 2: 111.40 20-day EMA
  • RES 1: 110.52 High Sep 27
  • PRICE: 109.41 @ Close Oct 2
  • SUP 1: 108.08 Low Sep 28 and a bear trigger
  • SUP 2: 107.08 2.236 proj of the Jun 26 - Jul 11 - 19 price swing (cont)
  • SUP 3: 106.40 2.382 proj of the Jun 26 - Jul 11 - 19 price swing (cont)
  • SUP 4: 105.85 2.50 proj of the Jun 26 - Jul 11 - 19 price swing (cont)

A sharp sell-off in BTP futures last Thursday reinforces bearish conditions. However, the contract is in oversold territory and price has recovered from last week’s low. A move higher is considered corrective and would allow the oversold condition to unwind. On the downside, the Sep 28 ‘22 low of 108.13 has been pierced - a major support. A break would open 107.08, a Fibonacci projection on the continuation chart. Resistance is at 110.52, the Sep 27 high.

USD: Another positive session.

Oct-03 06:06
  • UD extends losses going into the EU Cash Govie open, as the Dollar remains king, and desks price higher for longer rates.
  • Focus is right back on Yields, with the US 10yr testing again its highest level since 2007 Yesterday and today, but finding some resistance at the 4.70% mark.
  • AUD test session low against the JPY, AUD and the EUR, while AUDUSD looks to break below the 0.6300 handle, ahead of support at 0.6272, the November low.
  • USDJPY look to test the BIG 150.00 level, on the back of the elevated Yield, and the Globe will be wary of any potential intervention.

EURJPY TECHS: Watching Support

  • RES 3: 160.00 Psychological handle
  • RES 2: 159.92 2.236 proj of the May 11 - 29 - 31 price swing
  • RES 1: 158.65/159.76 High Sep 13 / High Aug 30 and the bull trigger
  • PRICE: 156.87 @ 07:04 BST Oct 3
  • SUP 1: 156.59 Low Sep 11 and a key support

EURJPY is slightly weaker but continues to trade inside a range. The cross is below the 50-day EMA once again - at 157.21. A clear breach of it would undermine the uptrend and highlight a possible short-term reversal. This would expose 155.54, Aug 3 low. The bull trigger is unchanged at 159.76, Aug 30 high where a break would resume the uptrend and open 160.66, a Fibonacci projection. First resistance is 158.65, the Sep 13 high.
