EQUITIES: Bullish Trend Structure in Eurostoxx 50 Futures Remains in Play

EQUITIES

The trend condition in Eurostoxx 50 futures remains bullish. The move higher last week confirmed once again, a resumption of the uptrend that started on Nov 21 ‘24. Moving average studies are in a bull mode set-up too, highlighting a dominant uptrend. A major resistance at 5525.00, the March 2000 all-time high (cont), has been pierced. A clear break of it would highlight a key bullish technical breach. Support to watch is 5325.83, the 20-day EMA. S&P E-Minis continue to climb and the contract maintains a firmer tone. Attention is on resistance at 6162.25, the Jan 24 high. Clearance of this level would expose the key resistance at 6178.75, the Dec 6 ‘24 high. A move above this hurdle would resume the primary uptrend.On the downside, initial key support has been defined at 6014.00, the Feb 10 low. A break would highlight a bearish development.
