Extension Lower in E-Mini S&P Confirms Short-Term Bearish Conditions

EQUITIES

Eurostoxx 50 futures have traded to a fresh S/T cycle low today. A bearish corrective cycle remains in play and the move down this month has allowed an overbought trend condition to unwind. The contract has breached support at 4858.80, the 50-day EMA and a key pivot price point. The clear break of this average signal scope for a deeper retracement and opens 4711.00, the Feb 19 low. Initial firm resistance to watch is 4933.00, the 20-day EMA. The short-term trend condition in S&P E-Minis is unchanged and remains bearish. Today’s extension reinforces current short-term conditions. The contract has this week cleared support at the 50-day EMA, signalling scope for a continuation lower near-term. Sights are on 4907.57 next, a Fibonacci retracement. Firm resistance is seen at 5181.29, the 20-day EMA. A clear break of the average would signal a possible reversal.
