OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - Bear Threat In Gilts Still Present
May-13 11:24
In the FI space, the trend in Bund futures is bearish and this week’s sell-off reinforces this theme. MA studies are in a bear mode position highlighting a dominant downtrend. Resistance to watch is 125.84, the 50-day EMA. It has been pierced, a clear break of it would signal scope for a stronger correction and open 126.64, the Apr 8 high and key resistance. For bears, key support lies at 124.25, the Mar 27 low. A breach of it would resume the downtrend.
A bearish theme in Gilt futures remains intact and the latest recovery has proved to be a correction. Tuesday’s move lower resulted in a breach of 85.91, the Mar 23 low. A clear break of this support would confirm a resumption of the medium-term downtrend, and open 85.21, a 2.618 projection of the Feb 27 - Mar 3 - 4 price swing. On the upside, key short-term resistance to watch is 88.32 the 50-day EMA. Clearance of this EMA would be a bullish development. Resistance at the 20-day EMA is at 87.31.
