E-Mini S&P Recover from Wednesday's Lows

EQUITIES

Eurostoxx 50 futures are trading at their recent lows. A bearish corrective cycle remains in play and the move down this month has allowed an overbought trend condition to unwind. The contract is testing support at 4857.50, the 50-day EMA and a key pivot price point. A clear break of this average would signal scope for a deeper retracement and open 4826.00, the Mar 5 low. Initial resistance to watch is 4990.00, the Apr 15 high. The short-term trend condition in S&P E-Minis is unchanged and remains bearish with price trading closer to this week’s lows. The contract has traded through support at the 50-day EMA, signalling scope for a continuation lower near-term. Sights are on 5018.00, the Feb 21 low, ahead of the 5000.00 handle. Firm resistance is seen at 5195.21, the 20-day EMA. A clear break of the average would signal a possible reversal.
