Price has cleared resistance at 3810.00, Aug 17 high and an important bull trigger. Moving average studies are in a bull mode set-up and this highlights the current positive market sentiment. The focus is on 3944.00, the Mar 29 high on the continuation chart. Initial firm support lies at Thursday's 3697.00 low. S&P E-Minis remains bullish and the contract is holding on to its recent gains. Price rallied sharply higher last week and cleared resistance at 3928.00, Nov 1 high. The break strengthens a short-term bullish condition and price has established a sequence of higher highs and higher lows on the daily scale. This opens 4023.44 next, a Fibonacci retracement.
