EQUITIES

MNI US EARNINGS SCHEDULE - Amazon, Intel headline busy tech earnings day


The Eurostoxx 50 futures contract has pulled back from recent highs. A key short-term support at 4282.10 remains intact - for now. This is the 20-day EMA where a break is required to signal a short-term top and highlight potential for a deeper pullback - towards 4206.30, the 50-day EMA. Trend conditions remain bullish and attention is on the bull trigger at 4363.00, Apr 21 high. A break would open 4381.50, Jan 5 2022 high (cont). A strong sell-off in S&P E-minis this week has resulted in a break below both the 20- and 50-day EMAs. The break of the 50-day EMA strengthens short-term bearish conditions and signals scope for an extension lower, towards 4061.11 next and 4018.75, Fibonacci retracement points. On the upside, the 20-day EMA at 4120.83 marks initial resistance, a clear break above this EMA would ease bearish pressure.
