The short-term trend condition in Schatz futures is unchanged, it remains bearish and the latest bounce is considered corrective. Recent weakness paves the way for an extension towards 106.920, the Sep 25 low and a key support. Clearance of this level would strengthen a bear theme. Initial firm resistance to watch is at the 50-day EMA, at 107.052. A clear break of this average would highlight a potential reversal.
