Key Quotes
“No change - Bund futures have held several tests of the 158.23/18 support and while above here an upside bias will remain entrenched."
“Essentially the market is side lined within a 158.18-159.54 range and we wait for a break out to determine direction.”
“Above the 159.54 recent high will see a move to the top of its 7 year channel at 159.96. Above the 7 year channel at 159.96 we have 160.90 – the measurement higher of the range 159.45-158.18.”
“A close below 158.18 on the other hand will act as the break down point to key support, which remains 156.73/156.40, the 2014-2015 uptrend and 55 day ma. A close below here will be needed to negate the long term bull move (this is not favoured at this stage).”
“Current position: Square. Recommended trade: .Attempt tiny longs on dips to 158.40, stops 158.15.”
“Shorter term (1-3 weeks): sidelined 158.18-159.54”
