E-Mini S&P Holds Onto Friday's Gains

EQUITIES

Eurostoxx 50 futures rallied late last week. This resulted in a break of key resistance at 4447.00, the Jul 3 high and a bull trigger. The rally has confirmed a resumption of the uptrend and marked the end of a broad sideways move that started May 19. Attention is on 4501.60 next, a Fibonacci projection. Key short-term support has been defined at 4331.00, the Jul 26 low. A break of this level would be a bearish development. The E-mini S&P contract traded to a high of 4634.50 Thursday before reversing. This highlights a possible short-term bearish signal. Price has found resistance at the top of a bull channel drawn from the Mar 13 low - the channel top is at 4643.65 today. A continuation lower would expose the 20-day EMA - at 4534.05 and a break of this level would strengthen bearish conditions. Clearance of the channel top is required to resume the uptrend.
