Eurostoxx 50 Extend Recent Climb Towards 4100.00 Handle

EQUITIES

EUROSTOXX 50 futures traded higher Friday, extending the recent climb. The contract has pierced resistance at 4043.00, the Dec 13 high and a bull trigger. A clear breach of this hurdle would represent a key short-term bullish development and pave the way for gains towards the 4100.00 handle. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode condition, reinforcing the current positive trend condition. Initial support lies at 3894.60, the 20-day EMA. S&P E-Minis trend signals remain bearish and the contract continues to trade in a range. Key resistance at 3917.50, the 50-day EMA, has been pierced. A clear break of this hurdle is required to suggest potential for a stronger recovery and this would also highlight a possible reversal. On the downside, a break lower would confirm a resumption of the downtrend and open 3778.45, a Fibonacci retracement.
