EQUITIES: E-Mini S&P Rebounds Following Monday's Sell-Off

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 4926.40, the 50-day EMA. First resistance is 46636.00, today’s intraday 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 5483.35. Gains are considered corrective - for now.
