EQUITIES: E-Mini S&P Rallies to Fresh High, Back Above 20-Day EMA
Eurostoxx 50 futures are volatile but remain closer to their recent lows. Last week’s move down, resulted in a breach of 4914.00, the Oct 16 low. Note that 4884.06, 38.2% of the Aug 5 - Sep 30 bull cycle, has also been cleared. This exposes 4815.50 next, the 50.0% retracement. Initial firm resistance has been defined at 5015.00, the Oct 29 high, where a break would highlight a reversal. First resistance is 4940.00, today’s intraday high. S&P E-Minis have recovered from their recent lows. A key short-term support has been defined at 5724.25, the Nov 4 low. Price is trading above both the 20- and 50-day EMAs and the continuation higher has resulted in a print above the bull trigger at 5927.25, the Oct 17 high. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the primary uptrend. On the downside, a breach of 5724.25 is required to reinstate a bearish threat.
