Eurostoxx 50 Futures, E-Mini S&Ps Trade to Fresh Cycle Highs

EQUITIES

Eurostoxx 50 futures traded higher yesterday and cleared resistance at 4363.00, the Apr 21 high and the bull trigger. The break confirms a resumption of the bull cycle that started Mar 20 and confirms a continuation of the medium-term uptrend. This opens the 4400.00 handle ahead of 4409.50, the Nov 18 2021 high on the continuation chart and a key resistance. Key support has been defined at 4233.00, the May 4 low. S&P E-minis traded higher again Thursday and the contract has cleared key resistance and the bull trigger at 4206.25, the May 1 high. Clearance of this level confirms an extension of the bull trend from Mar 13. This opens 4244.00, the Feb 2 high and the next key short-term resistance. Key support is at 4062.25, the May 4 low. A move through this level would highlight a bearish threat.
