EQUITIES: Stock Pullback Shallow
EQUITIES
A bull cycle in S&P E-Minis remains intact and the latest shallow pullback appears to be a correction. Recent gains reinforce a bullish theme and note that moving average studies are in a bull-mode setup, highlighting a dominant uptrend. Eurostoxx 50 futures recently breached resistance at 5024.00, the Sep 3 high. This confirms a resumption of the bull leg that started Aug 5 and cancels a recent bearish theme. It also suggests that the pullback this week is likely a correction.
