EQUITIES: Bull Cycle in Eurostoxx 50 Futures Remains Intact

EQUITIES

A bull cycle in the Eurostoxx 50 futures contract remains intact and price continues to trade closer to its recent highs. The contract has recently breached the 50-day EMA. The clear break of this average strengthens a bullish theme and note that 4961.00, the Nov 6 high, has also been cleared. Sights are on 5015.00 next, the Oct 29 high. Key support is 4699.00, the Nov 19 low. Initial support to watch lies at 4902.90, the 20-day EMA. The S&P E-Minis contract remains bullish and the latest shallow pullback is considered corrective. Recent gains confirm a resumption of the uptrend and signal scope for a continuation near-term. Note that moving average studies are in a bull-mode set-up, highlighting a dominant uptrend and positive market sentiment. A resumption of the trend would open 6194.19, a Fibonacci projection. Initial support to watch lies at 6097.76 the 20-day EMA.
