GILT TECHS: (H6) Monitoring The Directional Triggers

Dec-30 07:43

  • RES 3: 92.00 Round number resistance         
  • RES 2: 91.78/93 High Dec 17 / High Nov 27
  • RES 1: 91.18 High Dec 23      
  • PRICE: 91.28 @ Close Dec 29

  • SUP 2: 90.28 Low Nov 21  
  • SUP 3: 90.00 Round number support    
  • SUP 4: 89.86 Low Nov 19 and the bear trigger     

Recent price action in Gilt futures highlights 90.50, the Dec 16 low, and 91.93, the Nov 27 high, as two important short-term directional triggers. A clear breach of support at 90.50 would signal scope for a deeper retracement towards 89.86, the Nov 19 low and a bear trigger. For bulls, a stronger resumption of gains and a breach of 91.93, would instead signal scope for a climb towards resistance at 92.55, the Nov 11 high.
