EQUITIES: E-Mini S&P Trend Conditions Unchanged, Signals Remain Bullish
Eurostoxx 50 futures are unchanged. For now, a bear threat remains present. The contract traded sharply lower on Oct 15 and has recently pierced the 50-day EMA, at 4947.94. A clear break of this average would undermine a recent bullish theme and highlight a stronger reversal. This would open 4884.06, a Fibonacci retracement. Key resistance and the bull trigger is 5106.00, the Sep 30 high. Clearance of this level resumes the uptrend. S&P E-Minis trend conditions are unchanged and signals remain bullish. The latest move lower is considered corrective. Recent fresh cycle highs confirm a resumption of the primary uptrend and maintain the bullish price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Note that moving average studies are in a bull-mode setup, highlighting a dominant uptrend. Sights are on 5961.00, a Fibonacci projection. Initial support to watch is 5830.91, the 20-day EMA.
