  • The technical bull theme in S&P E-minis remains intact and last week’s pullback appears to be a correction. The move lower is allowing a recent overbought condition to unwind. Initial key support lies at the 20-day EMA, at 4359.21. A break of this average would strengthen a short-term bearish theme and signal scope for a deeper pullback. On the upside, the bull trigger is 4493.75, the Jun 16 high. A break would open 4506.23 the top of a bull channel.
