EQUITIES

A bearish theme in Eurostoxx 50 futures remains in play and price is trading just ahead of its recent lows. The recent break of support at 4082.00, the Oct 4 low and a bear trigger, confirmed a resumption of the downtrend and maintains the bearish price sequence of lower lows and lower highs. Moving average studies are in a bear-mode position too. The focus is on the 4000.00 handle. Initial firm resistance is at 4116.80, the 20-day EMA. S&P e-minis maintain a softer tone. The contract traded to a fresh cycle low last Friday and bears remain in the driver’s seat. Last week’s breach of support at 4235.50, Oct 4 low and bear trigger, confirms a resumption of the downtrend and maintains the bearish price sequence of lower lows and lower highs. Moving average studies are in a bear-mode position too. The focus is on 4100.00. Initial firm resistance is at 4285.39, the 20-day EMA.
