EQUITIES: Latest Pullback in Eurostoxx 50 Futures Appears to Be a Correction

EQUITIES

The latest pullback in Eurostoxx 50 futures appears to be a correction. Key short-term support to watch is 4927.81, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of this average would signal scope for a deeper retracement. Recently, the contract  breached resistance at 5024.00, the Sep 3 high. This confirmed a resumption of the bull leg that started Aug 5 and cancels a recent bearish theme. Key resistance and the bull trigger is 5106.00, the Sep 30 high. A bull cycle in S&P E-Minis remains intact and the latest shallow pullback still appears to be a correction. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode setup, highlighting a dominant uptrend and positive market sentiment. Scope is seen for a climb towards 5868.50, a Fibonacci projection, and 5900.00 further out. Initial support  to watch is 5736.55, the 20-day EMA. It has been pierced. Key support lies at 5669.25 the 50-day EMA.
