A bull cycle in BTP futures remains intact. However, near-term, a corrective phase continues to signal potential for a pullback. Key support to watch lies at 119.24, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of it would signal scope for a deeper retracement, and open 118.76 initially, the Apr 15 low. On the upside, key resistance and the bull trigger is at 120.72, the May 8 high. A break of this hurdle resumes the uptrend.

Sights are on 4832.00, the Apr 7 low and bear trigger. Initial resistance to watch is 5437.24, the 20-day EMA.

The latest pullback in EURGBP appears corrective - for now. The retracement has allowed a recent overbought trend condition to unwind. Support to watch lies at 0.8520, the 20-day EMA. Below this level, support at the 50-day EMA is at 0.8442. The area between these two averages represents a key support zone. For bulls, a resumption of gains would refocus attention on 0.8738, the Apr 11 high and bull trigger.
