EQUITIES: Next Resistance for Eurostoxx 50 Futures Remains Out of Reach for Now

EQUITIES

Eurostoxx 50 futures finished Wednesday trade well, but next resistance remains out of reach for now at the September highs. Key short-term support to watch is 4934.85, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of this EMA 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 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. Price is trading closer to its recent highs. MA studies are in a bull-mode setup, highlighting a dominant uptrend and positive market sentiment. Sights are on 5868.50, a Fibonacci projection, and 5900.00 further out. Initial support to watch is 5759.36, the 20-day EMA. It has been pierced. Key support lies at 5686.59 the 50-day EMA.

  • Japan's NIKKEI closed higher by 224.91 pts or +0.57% at 39605.8 and the TOPIX ended 6.47 pts lower or -0.24% at 2706.2.
  • Across Europe, Germany's DAX trades higher by 14.28 pts or +0.07% at 19225.18, FTSE 100 lower by 10.53 pts or -0.13% at 8227.21, CAC 40 up 6.35 pts or +0.08% at 7547.1 and Euro Stoxx 50 up 0.5 pts or +0.01% at 4970.45.
  • Dow Jones mini down 34 pts or -0.08% at 42713, S&P 500 mini down 7.5 pts or -0.13% at 5821.5, NASDAQ mini down 48.5 pts or -0.24% at 20381.5.
