EQUITIES: Eurostoxx 50 Futures Trading Near Fibonacci Resistance Level

EQUITIES

Eurostoxx 50 futures continue to trade inside a range. The trend condition is bullish and the recovery from the Jun 14 low appears to be an early reversal of the May 16 - Jun 14 correction. Attention is on 5039.84, a Fibonacci retracement. Clearance of this level would be a positive development. A move down would instead signal a resumption of the bearish corrective cycle that started May 16 and open 4846.00, Apr 19 low and a key support. The trend condition in S&P E-Minis remains bullish. Resistance at 5430.75, the May 23 high and bull trigger, has recently been cleared. This break confirmed a resumption of the primary uptrend. Yesterday's all-time high print confirms a recent bull flag formation on the daily scale. This is a continuation pattern and reinforces bullish conditions. Sights are on the 5600.00 handle. Support to watch is 5505.46, the 20-day EMA.
