EQUITIES: Bullish Theme in E-Mini S&P Intact Despite Moderate Pullback Wednesday

EQUITIES

Eurostoxx 50 futures are holding on to their latest gains. The contract has recently pierced the 50-day EMA, at 4877.69. An extension higher would undermine the recent bearish theme and highlight a stronger reversal. Sights are on 4951.00 next, the Jul 31 high. For bears, a reversal lower would refocus attention on the bear trigger at 4494.00, the Aug 5 low. Initial support lies at 4854.57, the 20-day EMA. A bullish theme S&P E-Minis is intact and the contract traded to a fresh cycle high Monday. Price has recently cleared 5600.75, Aug 1 high, signalling scope for an extension towards key resistance and the bull trigger at 5721.25, the Jul 16 high. A break would resume the primary uptrend. Support to watch lies at 5508.99, the 50-day EMA. A clear breach of it is required to instead highlight a potential bearish threat. The latest move lower appears corrective.

  • Japan's NIKKEI closed lower by 9.23 pts or -0.02% at 38362.53 and the TOPIX ended 0.9 pts higher or +0.03% at 2693.02.
