EQUITIES: Eurostoxx 50 Futures Extend Corrective Recovery From Last Week's Lows

EQUITIES

The trend condition in Eurostoxx 50 futures remains bullish and the recent  pullback appears to be a correction. The contract has recently cleared a key hurdle at 5079.00, the Apr 2 high, to confirm a resumption of the uptrend. This opens 5127.70 next, a Fibonacci projection. Key trend support is 4762.00, the Apr 19 low. Support at the 20-day EMA has been pierced. The next level to watch is 4959.80, the 50-day EMA. The uptrend in S&P E-Minis remains intact and the pullback last Thursday appears to have been a correction. The contract also traded to a fresh cycle high that day, reinforcing a bullish theme. Recent gains have also resulted in a break of 5333.50, Apr 1 high. This confirms a resumption of the primary uptrend and opens 5372.73, a Fibonacci projection. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode set-up. Initial support is 5259.02, the 20-day EMA.
