E-Mini S&P Holds Onto Bulk of its Recent Gains

EQUITIES

Eurostoxx 50 futures remain firm and the contract has traded higher today and delivered fresh cycle highs, confirming a resumption of the current uptrend. This reinforces the bullish importance of the recent break of a key resistance at the Dec 14 high of 4634.00. A clear breach of the 4700.00 handle would pave the way for a climb towards 4725.50, a Fibonacci projection. Initial firm support lies at 4586.80, the 20-day EMA. A broader uptrend in S&P E-Minis remains intact and the contract is holding on to the bulk of its recent gains. The price has recently traded to fresh cycle highs, confirming a resumption of the uptrend. Recent corrections have been shallow - this also highlights a strong uptrend. The focus is on the psychological 5000.00 handle. On the downside, initial key short-term support has been defined at 4866.00, the Jan 31 low.
