Price Signal Summary - EURO Bulls Return

MARKET INSIGHT
  • In the equity space, S&P E-minis are trading below recent highs. Attention remains on the 50-day EMA that intersects at 4572.34 today. For bulls, a clear break of the EMA is required to suggest scope for a stronger rally that would open 4671.75, the Jan 18 high. On the downside, a stronger bearish reversal would refocus attention on the 4212.75 low from Jan 24 . EUROSTOXX 50 futures are lower today. The failure at 4250.00, Feb 2 low means the 50-day EMA - at 4210.50 - has provided resistance. The reversal lower also suggests that the recent leg higher between Jan 24 - Feb 2 has been a correction and that the correction is over. If correct, this opens 3990.50, the Jan 24 low and the bear trigger.
