Bearish Conditions Remain Present in E-Mini S&P Despite Recent Spike

EQUITIES

A bearish threat in Eurostoxx 50 futures remains present following the reversal from 4513.00, the Jul 31 high. Last week’s gains appear to have been a correction. Price is once again trading below both the 20- and 50-day EMAs and attention is on support at 4276.00, the Aug 8 low. A break of this level would strengthen a bearish threat and expose 4220.00, the Jul 7 low. Initial firm resistance is 4424.00, Aug 2 high. Bearish conditions in the E-mini S&P contract remain intact and price is trading closer to its recent lows. Friday’s move lower resulted in a test of the 50-day EMA at 4462.48. A clear break of this average would expose 4450.90, the base of a bull channel drawn from the Mar 13 low. Clearance of this support would strengthen a bearish threat. Resistance to watch is 4560.75, Aug 4 high.
