Eurostoxx 50 Futures Trade to Fresh May Highs

EQUITIES

Eurostoxx 50 futures continue to trade above support at 4247.40, the 50-day EMA. The broader uptrend is intact and moving average studies remain in a bull mode position. A stronger resumption of gains would signal scope for a test of 4363.00, the Apr 21 high and a bull trigger. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the uptrend. On the downside, a clear break of the 50-day EMA is required to signal a top. S&P E-minis traded higher Wednesday. Price remains above the 50-day EMA, which intersects at 4112.23. A continuation higher would open key resistance and the bull trigger at 4206.25, the May 1 high. Clearance of this level would confirm an extension of the bull trend that started Mar 13. Key support has been defined at 4062.25, the May 4 low. A move through this level would instead highlight a bearish threat.
