E-Mini S&Ps Continue in Uptrend

Eurostoxx 50 futures remain in consolidation mode and price is trading above 4216.00, the May 31 low and a key support. For now, the recent gains appear to be a correction. The recent breach of support at 4252.00, the May 25 low, highlights a potential bearish threat. The contract has also pierced support at 4233.00, the May 4 low and a key short-term level. Resistance to watch is 4362.00, May 29 high. Clearance of this level would be bullish. S&P E-minis traded higher Friday and the contract has cleared its recent highs. This confirms a resumption of the uptrend and maintains the bullish price sequence of higher highs and higher lows, marking an extension of the bull cycle that started in October 2022. The focus is on the 4400.00 handle next. The 50-day EMA, at 4210.03 marks a key support. A break would signal a reversal. Initial firm support is at 4267.69, the 20-day EMA.
