BTP futures rallied sharply higher from last Wednesday’s low. However, the latest move down highlights a potential reversal of the Mar 14 - Apr 4 bull cycle. If correct, the move down exposes key support at 115.75, the Mar 14 low and a bear trigger. A break of this level would confirm a resumption of the medium-term downtrend. Initial firm resistance to monitor is 119.07, the Apr 8 high. Clearance of this level would be a bullish reversal development.
