EQUITIES: This Week’s Recovery E-Mini S&P Highlights a Bullish Reversal

EQUITIES

Despite a short-term bounce, Eurostoxx 50 futures continue to trade closer to their recent lows. The latest move down has resulted in a break of both the 20- and 50-day EMAs. A resumption of the bear leg would signal scope for weakness towards 4686.53, a Fibonacci retracement point. Initial key short-term resistance has been defined at 4998.00, the Sep 3 high. First resistance is at 4865.79, the 50-day EMA. This week’s recovery in S&P E-Minis, highlights a bullish reversal and the end of the corrective cycle between Sep 3 - 6. The contract is trading above the 20- and 50-day EMAs and a continuation higher would signal scope for a test of 5669.75, the Sep 3 high. Clearance of this level would open 5721.25, the Jul 16 high and bull trigger. On the downside, a reversal lower and a breach of 5394.00, the Sep 6 low, would reinstate a bearish theme.

  • Japan's NIKKEI closed lower by 251.51 pts or -0.68% at 36581.76 and the TOPIX ended 21.36 pts lower or -0.82% at 2571.14.
