EQUITIES: Eurostoxx 50 Futures Extending Monday's Gains, Remain Above 50-Day EMA

EQUITIES

Eurostoxx 50 futures traded higher yesterday and the contract is holding on to its recent gains. The latest move higher undermines a recent bearish theme. Price has traded through the 50-day EMA, at 4860.94. A clear break of this average would strengthen a bullish theme and signal scope for a stronger recovery. Key support has been defined at 4699.00, the Nov 19 low. A break of this level would resume the recent bear cycle. On Friday, S&P E-Minis pierced key resistance and the bull trigger at 6053.25, the Nov 11 high. This confirms a resumption of the uptrend and the contract is holding on to its latest gains. Note that moving average studies remain in a bull-mode set-up, highlighting a dominant uptrend and positive market sentiment. Sights are on 6070.16, a Fibonacci projection point. Initial support to watch lies at 5970.46, the 20-day EMA.

  • Japan's NIKKEI closed higher by 735.84 pts or +1.91% at 39248.86 and the TOPIX ended 38.86 pts higher or +1.43% at 2753.58.
