Bobl futures are trading sharply lower this morning. The contract has gapped down and price action is likely to remain volatile near-term. A key short-term support at 117.850, the Feb 20 low, has been pierced. This undermines a recent bullish theme. A continuation lower would signal scope for an extension towards the 117.600 handle. On the upside, key short-term resistance has been defined at 119.040, the Feb 28 high.

EURUSD traded sharply higher Tuesday to a fresh short-term cycle high. The climb has resulted in a clear breach of key short-term resistance at 1.0533, the Jan 27 high. This marks a continuation of the reversal that started Feb 3 and signals scope for an extension higher near-term. The focus is on 1.0677 next, a Fibonacci retracement. On the downside, an initial key short-term support to watch lies at 1.0447, the 50-day EMA.
