E-Mini S&Ps Pare the Majority of Thursday's Losses

EQUITIES

Eurostoxx 50 futures remain in consolidation mode. Price is trading above support at 4233.90, the 50-day EMA. The recent move down is considered corrective and the broader uptrend is intact. A continuation higher would signal scope for a test of 4363.00, the Apr 21 high and bull trigger. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the uptrend. A clear break of the 50-day EMA is required to signal a top. S&P E-minis are consolidating and continue to trade above the 50-day EMA, which intersects at 4106.37. A continuation higher would refocus attention on key resistance and the bull trigger at 4206.25, the May 1 high. A breach of this level would confirm a resumption of the bull trend that started Mar 13. Key support has been defined at 4062.25, the May 4 low. A move through this support would be a bearish development.
