E-Mini S&P Futures Pierce 4073.75 Mar 22 Resistance Level

EQUITIES

Eurostoxx 50 futures traded higher Wednesday. The contract has cleared resistance at 4164.00, the Mar 22 high. This cancels a recent bearish threat and confirms a resumption of the bull cycle that started Mar 20. A continuation higher would open key resistance at 4268.00, Mar 6 high. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode set-up and this suggests the broader uptrend is intact. Initial firm support lies at 4034.00, the Mar 24 low. S&P E-Minis traded higher Wednesday and the contract has once again moved to levels above the 50-day EMA. The average intersects at 4021.12. Attention is on resistance at 4073.75, the Mar 22 high. A break of this hurdle would strengthen bullish conditions and signal scope for a climb towards 4119.50, the Mar 6 high. On the downside, key short-term support lies at 3937.00, the Mar 24 low. A break of this support would be bearish.
