EQUITIES: E-Mini S&P Extends Recovery From Monday's Lows

EQUITIES

A bear threat in Eurostoxx 50 futures remains present and the contract traded lower Monday having started the week on a bearish note. Last week’s sell-off resulted in a break of 4846.00, the Apr 19 low. The breach highlights a stronger reversal and signals scope for an extension towards 4478.81 next, a Fibonacci projection. Firm resistance is 4913.13, the 50-day EMA. First resistance is 4663.00, the Aug 6 high. S&P E-Minis traded lower late last week and the contract started this week on a bearish note - Monday’s move lower marks an extension of the bear cycle. The move down has resulted in a print below 5185.50, 76.4% of the Apr 19 - Jul 16 bear leg. A clear break of this level would open 5092.00 next, the May 2 low. Monday’s intraday high of 5345.50 marks initial resistance. The 50-day EMA, a firmer level, is at 5474.83. Gains are considered corrective - for now.
