E-Mini S&P Trading Close to Recent Highs

EQUITIES

A bull cycle in Eurostoxx 50 futures remains firmly intact and the contract has again traded higher this week. Moving average studies remain in a bull-mode position, highlighting positive market sentiment. Sights are on 4939.30 next, a Fibonacci projection. Further out, scope is seen for a climb towards a bull channel top at 4988.60. The channel is drawn from the Oct 27 low. Initial firm support lies at 4785.90, the 20-day EMA. The trend condition in S&P E-Minis remains bullish and the contract continues to trade closer to its recent highs. Price action continues to highlight the fact that corrections remain shallow - a bullish signal. Support to watch is 5024.54, the 20-day EMA. A clear break of this average would signal potential for a deeper retracement towards 4936.50, the Feb 13 low. A resumption of gains would open vol-band based resistance at 5153.29.
