EQUITIES: Eurostoxx 50 Futures Remain in Bull-Mode Set Up, Highlighting Uptrend

EQUITIES

The trend condition in the Eurostoxx 50 futures contract remains bullish and the recent pullback appears to have been a correction. Note too that moving average studies are in a bull-mode set-up, highlighting a dominant uptrend and positive market sentiment. Sights are on 5574.57 next, a Fibonacci projection. Initial firm support to watch is 5407.46, the 20-day EMA. A clear break of the EMA would signal scope for a deeper retracement. The latest move down in S&P E-Minis appears corrective, however, price has breached support at 6014.00, the Feb 10 low. This exposed a key support at 5935.50, the Feb 3 low, that was pierced on Tuesday. A clear break of it would allow for a deeper retracement. MA studies are in a bull-mode condition that suggests the trend direction remains up. A resumption of gains would refocus attention on key resistance at 6178.75, the Dec 6 ‘24 high.
