MNI (LONDON) - Price Signal Summary – Bull Cycle for Eurostoxx 50 Remains Intact
- The trend condition in S&P E-Minis is bullish and this week’s extension reinforces this set-up. Fresh cycle highs confirm a resumption of the uptrend and maintain the bullish price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. A bull cycle in Eurostoxx 50 futures remains intact and attention is on resistance at 5039.84, 61.8% of the May 16 - Jun 14 sell-off. It was pierced Friday, a clear break of it would be a positive development and suggest scope for an extension of the bull cycle that started Jun 14.
- GBPUSD is holding on to the bulk of its recent gains. A bullish theme remains intact. Last week’s break of resistance at 1.2740, the Jun 19 high, strengthened a bullish theme and signals scope for a climb towards 1.2860, the Jun 12 high. The trend direction in USDJPY remains up and the latest move down is considered corrective. Moving average studies are in a bull mode position, highlighting a clear rising trend. The recent breach of 160.17, the Apr 29 high, confirmed a resumption of the primary uptrend. AUDUSD bullish conditions remain intact and the pair is trading just below its latest high. A key short-term resistance at 0.6714, the May 16 high, has been cleared. The move higher highlights a range breakout and confirms a resumption of the bull leg that started Apr 19.
- Gold traded higher last week and the yellow metal has pierced resistance at $2387.8, the Jun 7 high. This undermines a recent bearish theme and a clear break would be a bullish development and open the key resistance at $2450.1, the May 20 high. A bull cycle in WTI futures remains in play and the latest pullback appears to be a correction. The recent breach of $80.11, the May 29 high and a key resistance, strengthened a bullish theme. Note too that $82.24, 76.4% of the Apr 12 - Jun 4 bear leg, has been cleared.
- A bear threat in Bund futures remains present and short-term gains are considered corrective. The move lower last week undermines a recent bullish theme and signals scope for a deeper retracement. The next support to watch is 130.28. Gilt futures traded higher last week and has started this week’s session on a bullish note. Despite the latest gains, the short-term outlook remains bearish. The sell-off from Jun 21, signals scope for a continuation near-term and a resumption of weakness would open 96.25, a Fibonacci retracement.
