  • RES 3: 121.37 High Nov 13 
  • RES 2: 121.24 High Nov 26 
  • RES 1: 120.77 High Dec 3   
  • PRICE: 120.39 @ Close Dec 4

  • SUP 3: 119.30 1.618 proj of the Nov 13 - 20 - 26 price swing
  • SUP 4: 119.00 Round number support 

The trend set-up in BTP futures is bullish and the sell-off this week appears corrective - for now. Key short-term support to watch has been defined at 120.17, the Nov 20 low. A clear breach of this level would undermine a bull theme and resume a recent bear leg. Note that the moving average studies on the continuation chart highlight a dominant uptrend. A resumption of gains would expose the bull trigger at 121.33, the Oct 21 high.
