E-Mini S&Ps Ease Off Recent Highs

EQUITIES

The Eurostoxx 50 futures uptrend remains intact, however, this week’s corrective pullback remains in play and price has traded through the 20-day EMA. Attention turns to support at the 50-day EMA, which intersects at 4339.10. A break of the 50-day EMA would expose 4241.00, the May 31 low and bear trigger. Clearance of resistance at 4448.00, the Jan 2008 high (cont) would confirm a resumption of the uptrend. A bull theme in S&P E-minis remains intact and the latest pullback appears to be a correction. Last Friday’s gains reinforce a bullish condition. The contract has pierced key resistance and the bull trigger at 4493.75, the Jun 16 high. A clear break of this level would confirm a resumption of the uptrend and pave the way for a climb towards 4532.08, a Fibonacci projection. On the downside, initial support to watch is 4405.73, the 20-day EMA.
