E-Mini S&P Within Close Proximity of Multi-Month Highs

EQUITIES

A bullish theme in Eurostoxx 50 futures remains intact and the contract is trading at its recent highs. Resistance at 4387.00, the Nov 24 high, was breached on Nov 30, confirming a resumption of the uptrend and maintaining the price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. MA studies are in a bull-mode position too, signalling a rising cycle. The focus is on 4561.00, a Fibonacci projection. Support to watch is at 4382.20, the 20-day EMA. In S&P e-minis, a bullish theme remains intact and the contract traded higher Friday. Since the October 27 reversal, corrections have been shallow - this is a bullish signal. Note too that moving average studies are in a bull-mode position, highlighting positive market sentiment. A continuation higher would signal scope for a climb towards 4690.75, the Aug 2 high. Initial support lies at 4583.14, the 20-day EMA.
