Recent gains in BTP futures still appear corrective in nature. Despite yesterday’s pullback, the contract continues to trade closer to its recent highs. A continuation of the current short-term bull phase would signal scope for an extension towards 118.62, a Fibonacci retracement. On the downside, key near-term support is at 116.89, the Mar 25 low. Clearance of this level would signal a reversal and the end of the corrective cycle.
