Eurostoxx 50 Futures Continue Trading Close to Recent Lows

EQUITIES

Eurostoxx 50 futures are trading at their recent lows. A bearish corrective cycle remains in play and the move down this month has allowed an overbought trend condition to unwind. The contract has tested support at 4856.70, the 50-day EMA and a key pivot price point. A clear break of the average would signal scope for a deeper retracement and open 4826.00, the Mar 5 low. Initial resistance to watch is 4990.00, the Apr 15 high. The short-term trend condition in S&P E-Minis is unchanged and remains bearish. This week’s move lower reinforces the current condition - the contract has traded through support at the 50-day EMA, signalling scope for a continuation lower near-term. Sights are on 5070.36 next, a Fibonacci retracement. Clearance of this level would open 5018.00, the Feb 21 low. Firm resistance is seen at 5209.2, the 20-day EMA.
