EQUITIES

Eurostoxx 50 futures are in consolidation mode. The recent trend condition remains bullish and the recent pullback appears to be a correction. The contract has recently cleared a key hurdle at 5079.00, the Apr 2 high, to confirm a resumption of the uptrend. This opens 5127.70 next, a Fibonacci projection. Support at the 20-day EMA has been pierced. The next level to watch is 4962.80, the 50-day EMA.

Recent gains have also resulted in a break of 5333.50, Apr 1 high. This confirms a resumption of the primary uptrend and opens 5372.73, a Fibonacci projection. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode set-up. Initial support is 5265.28, the 20-day EMA.
