E-Mini S&P Extends Recovery From Wednesday's Low

EQUITIES

Eurostoxx 50 futures have this week breached support at the Jan 5 low of 4444.0. The primary trend direction is up and the recent move lower is considered corrective. However, the break below 4444.00 and 4450.70, the 50-day EMA, does suggest scope for an extension of the current bear cycle. A continuation lower would open 4370.00, the Nov 28 low. Initial resistance is 4536.00, the Jan 11 high. A break would highlight a potential reversal.S&P E-Minis have recovered from Wednesday’s low and this is seen as a short-term bullish development. Key resistance and the bull trigger is unchanged at 4841.50, the Dec 28 high. A break of this level would resume the uptrend and open 4854.75, the 1.00 projection of the Nov 10 - Dec 1 - 7 price swing. Initial support is at 4746.25, the Jan 17 low. The 50-day EMA, at 4692.39, remains the key support.
