  • SUP 2: €64.05 - Low Dec 17 ‘24 and a key support 
  • SUP 3: €61.98 - Low Oct 9 ‘24 and a key medium-term support

The trend outlook in ICE EUA futures remains bearish and this week’s sell-off reinforces this theme. The break lower exposes key support and the bear trigger at €66.78, the Mar 7 low. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the downtrend that started Jan 30. Moving average studies are in a bear-mode position and this continues to highlight a downtrend. Key short-term resistance has been defined at €74.23, the Mar 19 high.
