Bobl futures are trading closer to their recent highs and remain in a short-term bull cycle - a correction. The recent trend condition was oversold and the move higher has allowed this set-up to unwind. The primary trend direction is down. Former support at 117.850, the Feb 20 low, was cleared on March 5, and the recent sell-off signals scope for an extension towards 116.000. Firm resistance to watch is seen at 117.850, the Feb 20 low.
