EQUITIES: Friday's Gains Reinforce Bullish Theme for Eurostoxx 50 Futures

EQUITIES

A bull cycle in Eurostoxx 50 futures remains intact and Friday’s gains reinforce the current condition. 5039.84, 61.8% of the May 16 - Jun 14 sell-off, has been cleared. This has resulted in a print above 5082.32, the 76.4% retracement. A clear break of it would be a positive development and suggest scope for an extension of the bull cycle that started Jun 14. This would open 5132.00, Jun 6 high. Initial support is 4997.26, the 50-day EMA. The trend condition in S&P E-Minis is bullish and the contract traded to a fresh trend high once again last week. The continuation higher confirms a resumption of the uptrend and maintains the bullish sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Moving average studies are in a clear bull-mode set-up too and this continues to highlight positive market sentiment. Sights are on the 5713.31, a Fibonacci projection. Firm support is at 5569.65, the 20-day EMA.
