Bund futures traded sharply higher Friday, reinforcing a bullish theme. The sell-off on Jul 25, resulted in a test of the base of a 3.5-month range at the 129.00 handle. Price has recovered and this key support remains intact, for now. A hammer candle formation on Jul 25 followed by a bullish engulfing candle on Jul 28 signals a potential reversal. A continuation higher would open 130.76, the Jul 22 high. Key support to watch is 128.84, the Jul 25 low.
