EQUITIES: Bear Threat in E-Mini S&P Remains Present, Next Support at $5811.65

EQUITIES

A bull cycle in the Eurostoxx 50 futures contract remains intact and price is trading closer to its recent highs. Last week’s rally highlights a reversal of the recent corrective pullback. Resistance at 5040.00, the Dec 9 high, has been pierced. A clear break of this hurdle would confirm a resumption of the bull cycle that started on Nov 21 and open 5068.13, a Fibonacci projection. On the downside, initial firm support lies at 4935.71, the 50-day EMA. A bear threat in the S&P E-Minis contract remains present and the contract is trading lower today. The reversal from the Dec 26 high, confirms the end of the Dec 20 - 26 correction. 5866.00, the Dec 20 low and a key short-term support, has been cleared. This strengthens a bearish theme and opens 5811.65, a Fibonacci retracement. Initial firm resistance is 6107.50, the Dec 26 high. First pivot resistance is seen at 5996.50, the 50-day EMA.

  • Elsewhere, in China the SHANGHAI closed lower by 7.769 pts or -0.25% at 3160.755 and the HANG SENG ended 190.15 pts lower or -1% at 18874.14.
  • Across Europe, Germany's DAX trades lower by 134.25 pts or -0.66% at 20078.74, FTSE 100 lower by 25.91 pts or -0.31% at 8221.77, CAC 40 down 49.25 pts or -0.66% at 7380.48 and Euro Stoxx 50 down 44.46 pts or -0.89% at 4931.57.
  • Dow Jones mini down 138 pts or -0.33% at 42024, S&P 500 mini down 51 pts or -0.87% at 5814.75, NASDAQ mini down 282.5 pts or -1.34% at 20731.75.
