EQUITIES: E-Mini S&P Remains Close to Wednesday's High

EQUITIES

The trend condition in Eurostoxx 50 futures remains bullish and the recent pullback is considered corrective. Yesterday’s sell-off resulted in a break of support at 4943.00, the Jun 11 low. This highlights potential for a deeper short-term retracement and sights are on 4894.90, a Fibonacci retracement. Initial resistance is seen at 5046.00, the Jun 12 high. A break of this hurdle would signal a resumption of the uptrend. The uptrend in S&P E-Minis remains intact and the contract traded higher Wednesday. Price has recently cleared 5368.25, the May 23 high and bull trigger. The move confirmed a resumption of the uptrend. The continuation higher has resulted in a break of the 5400.00 handle. This opens 5462.77 next, a Fibonacci projection. Key short-term support has been defined at 5205.50, the May 31 low. Initial support lies at 5333.75, the 20-day EMA.
