Eurostoxx Futures Pare Most Post-Fed Losses

EQUITIES

The recent strong recovery in Eurostoxx 50 futures from Monday’s low of 4057.00 has resulted in a breach of both the 20- and 50-day EMAs. A continuation higher would signal scope for 4184.50, a Fibonacci retracement. Key resistance and the bull trigger is at 4268.00, the Mar 6 high. On the downside, a reversal lower and a breach of 3914.00 would resume the recent downtrend. Initial support lies at 4069.00, the Mar 21 low. S&P E-Minis reversed sharply lower Wednesday. It is too early to tell whether the pullback marks the start of a bearish cycle. However, the move lower means that price has - so far - failed to hold above pivot resistance around the 50-day EMA. The average intersects at 4023.28 and a clear break is required to strengthen bullish conditions. Watch support at 3966.25, yesterday’s low - a break would be bearish. Key S/T resistance is at 4073.75.
