A bear threat in Bobl futures remains in play, following last week’s sell-off. Short-term support at 117.850, the Feb 20 low, has recently been cleared. The subsequent impulsive sell-off signals scope for an extension towards the 116.000 handle. The contract is in oversold territory. Gains would be considered corrective and a recovery would allow this set-up to unwind. Firm resistance to watch is seen at 117.850, the Feb 20 low.
A bear threat in S&P E-Minis remains present and Monday’s extension strengthens bearish conditions. The move down also reinforces the significance of the breach of 5809.00, the Jan 13 low. This level marked the mid-point of a double top on the daily chart and the break confirms the pattern and an important short-term reversal. Sights are on 5499.25, the Sep 9 2024 low. Firm resistance to watch is 5979.06, the 50-day EMA.
