EQUITIES: E-Mini S&P Holds Onto Recent Gains, Uptrend Intact

EQUITIES

The trend condition in Eurostoxx 50 futures is bullish and short-term weakness is considered corrective. A resumption of gains would refocus attention on key resistance and the bull trigger at 5110.00, the May 16 high. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the uptrend. On the downside, support to watch lies at 4947.00, the Jun 4 low. A break would be bearish and instead expose 4894.90, a Fibonacci retracement. The uptrend in S&P E-Minis remains intact and the contract is holding on to its recent gains. Price has traded above 5368.25, the May 23 high and bull trigger. The move confirms a resumption of the uptrend. A continuation higher would signal scope for a climb towards the 5400.00 handle next. On the downside, key short-term support has been defined at 5205.50, the May 31 low. Clearance of this level is required to signal a short-term reversal.      

  • Japan's NIKKEI closed higher by 96.63 pts or +0.25% at 39134.79 and the TOPIX ended 5.69 pts lower or -0.2% at 2776.8.
