Eurostoxx Futures Trade Higher Monday, Resuming Uptrend

EQUITIES

The EUROSTOXX 50 futures traded higher Thursday and breached 4265.00, Feb 3 high. Despite the pullback from last week’s best levels, the fresh cycle high confirms a resumption of the uptrend and opens 4303.20, the 2.382 projection of the Sep 29 - Oct 4 rise from the Dec 20 low. 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 4167.50, the 20-day EMA. The S&P E-Minis trend condition is bullish and the latest pullback is considered corrective. The contract has pierced initial support at 4069.52, the 20-day EMA. Firmer support lies at the 50-day EMA, at 4006.63. A clear break of this average would signal scope for a deeper pullback and potentially highlight a reversal. Key resistance and the bull trigger intersect at 4208.50, the Feb 2 high. A breach would resume the uptrend.
