EQUITIES

A bearish theme in Eurostoxx 50 futures remains in play and price is trading closer to its recent lows. Support at 4082.00, the Oct 4 low and a bear trigger, has recently been cleared. This confirms a resumption of the downtrend and maintains the bearish price sequence of lower lows and lower highs. The focus is on the 4000.00 handle. Initial firm resistance is at 4134.70, the 20-day EMA. S&P e-minis maintain a softer tone and the contract traded lower Thursday. This week’s breach of support at 4235.50, the Oct 4 low and bear trigger, confirms a resumption of the downtrend and maintains the bearish price sequence of lower lows and lower highs. Moving average studies are in a bear-mode position too. The focus is on 4166.25, a Fibonacci projection. Initial firm resistance is at 4312.52, the 20-day EMA.
