Eurostoxx Futures Touch 4280.0 Following Wednesday Dip Buying

EQUITIES

Dip buyers emerged in EUROSTOXX 50 futures again Wednesday, with prices rapidly bouncing off the 4211.00 lows. Nonetheless, prices remain just below first resistance at 4303.20, the 2.382 proj of the Sep 29 - Oct 4 rise from Dec 20 low, but still above 4265.00, the Feb 3 high. Note that the trend is overbought. A pullback would represent a healthy correction. Key support lies at 4097.00, the Jan 19 low. Initial support is at 4228.4, the 20-day EMA. Further slippage Wednesday put the S&P E-Minis to fresh February lows, with weakness extending through the close. This puts prices below first support at the 50-day EMA at 4031.50 and tilts the near-term view lower. 3901.75 marks next support, the Jan 19 low.
