HALISTER1: BTP-Bund Completed Bear Flag Pattern Amplifies Compression Risks

BTP-Bund Completed Bear Flag Pattern Amplifies Compression Risks

(Bloomberg) -- Italy-Germany 10y yield spread may embark of a fresh narrowing phase toward 143bps-144bps after resolving a continuation pattern on a daily time frame, Bloomberg technical analyst Sejul Gokal writes.
  • See chart; spread now +2bps at 155bps
  • BTP-bund spread validated a bearish ‘flag’ pattern yesterday, which ends the corrective widening move since mid-December and argues for a continuation of the compression trend started late November
  • Support at 148bps (100-DMA) and 144bps-143bps ahead of double-Fibonacci support; below here introduces 139bps (200- DMA)
  • Back-to-back close above upper end of gap window at 159bps could damp the narrowing momentum, with a move above 170bps required to fully nullify the compression pressure
