E-Mini S&P Stages Shallow Bounce After Tuesday Dip

EQUITIES

Eurostoxx 50 futures remain above Friday’s low of 4175.00. Key support to watch is 4183.90, the base of a bull channel drawn from the Oct 13 low. While channel support holds, the broader uptrend remains intact and a continuation higher near-term would expose the bull trigger at 4323.00, Feb 16 high. A break of this hurdle would resume the broader uptrend. On the downside, a breach of the channel base would alter the picture. S&P E-Minis trend conditions remain bearish and short-term signals suggest scope for an extension lower near-term. The contract continues to trade below the 50-day EMA, at 4023.15 and sights are set on 3901.75, the Jan 19 low and 3887.62, the 76.4% retracement of the Dec 22 - Feb 2 bull cycle. Resistance to watch is 4047.25, the 20-day EMA. Note that a clear break of both the 50- and 20-day EMAs would signal a possible reversal.
