The trend outlook in Schatz futures remains bearish and recent short-term gains have been corrective. The bear trigger at 106.970, the Aug 25 low, has been breached, confirming a resumption of the downtrend. This paves the way for an extension towards 106.928, a Fibonacci projection. Moving average studies remain in a bear-mode position, highlighting a downtrend. Key short-term resistance is at 107.125, the Aug 27 high.
Tuesday’s sell-off in GBPUSD undermines the recent bull theme. The pair has traded through a key support at 1.3391, the Aug 22 low. The clear break of this level signals scope for a deeper retracement and exposes 1.3315 next, a Fibonacci retracement. Clearance of this level would strengthen a bearish threat. For bulls, a breach of 1.3595, the Aug 14 high, is required to reinstate a bull theme. Initial resistance is at 1.3742, the 20-day EMA.
