Equity Futures Dip From Week's Highs

EQUITIES

Despite early Friday weakness, EUROSTOXX 50 futures maintain a firmer tone this week following the recent recovery from 3251.00, Oct 13 low. The move higher has resulted in a break of the 50-day EMA and resistance at 3492.00, the Oct 6 high and a bull trigger. Initial firm support is at 3352.00, the Oct 14 low. Similarly, recent weakness in S&P E-Minis has done little to damage the firmer short-term tone. A bullish theme follows last week’s reversal from 3502.00, the Oct 13 low. The recovery suggests the contract has entered a corrective phase and if correct, this is allowing an oversold trend condition to unwind. Attention is on resistance at 3820.00, the Oct 5 high and a bull trigger. Key support is unchanged at 3502.00. Initial support is at 3590.50, the Oct 17 low.
