EQUITIES: Eurostoxx 50 Target March 2000 All-Time High at 5525.00

EQUITIES

The Eurostoxx 50 futures contract continues to appreciate. The move higher this week confirms once again, a resumption of the uptrend that started on Nov 21 ‘24. Moving average studies are in a bull mode set-up too, highlighting a dominant uptrend. Sights are on a major resistance at 5525.00, the March 2000 all-time high. Clearance of this level would highlight a key bullish break. Initial firm support to watch lies at 5283.40, the 20-day EMA. S&P E-Minis have traded higher this week. The recovery undermines a recent bearish threat and attention turns to the next resistance at 6162.25, the Jan 24 high. Clearance of this level would expose key resistance at 6178.75, the Dec 6 ‘24 high. A move above this hurdle would resume the primary uptrend. On the downside, initial key support has been defined at 6014.00, the Feb 10 low. A break would be viewed as a bearish development.
