EURJPY remains bullish and the contract extended gains into the Tuesday close, briefly topping the Y147.00 handle. The recent break of 145.64, the Sep 12 high and bull trigger, confirmed a resumption of the broader uptrend that started in May 2020. This clears the way for a climb towards 147.76 next, a Fibonacci projection. Moving average studies are in a bull mode position, highlighting a broader uptrend. Initial support lies at 144.09, the Oct 5 high.

  • SUP 4: 106.68 2.618 proj of the Aug 25 - Sep 1 - 8 price swing

BTP futures remain in consolidation mode. The trend condition though is bearish. The reversal from 116.71, Oct 4 high, signals the end of the Sep 28 - Oct 4 corrective phase. A continuation lower would open the key support and bear trigger at 108.13, the Sep 28 low. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the broader downtrend and maintain the bearish price sequence of lower lows and lower highs. 116.71 marks the key resistance.
