MNI DAILY TECHNICAL ANALYSIS - Bund Futures North of Key Resistance

Price Signal Summary – Bund Futures North of Key Resistance

  • S&P e-minis traded higher last week and the contract is holding on to its recent gains. The latest recovery still appears to be a correction, however, price has cleared the 20- and 50-day EMAs. The break of the 50-day average - a key short-term pivot level - has strengthened bullish conditions. Eurostoxx 50 futures traded higher last week as the correction from recent lows extends. Price has traded through resistance at both the 20- and 50-day EMAs. The broader trend condition is bearish.
  • Recent gains in GBPUSD resulted in a break of resistance at 1.2289, the Oct 24 high as well as key resistance at 1.2337, the Oct 11 high. These gains strengthen the bullish case and signal scope for a stronger short-term bull cycle. The trend needle in USDJPY continues to point north. Support at the 50-day EMA - at 148.54 - remains intact and a break of this average is required to signal a short-term top. Last week’s gains resulted in a breach of 150.78, the Oct 26 high. USDCAD traded sharply lower last week but has managed to find support this week at Monday’s 1.3629 low. The recovery means a support around the 50-day EMA, at 1.3646, stays intact and this suggests the move lower between Nov 1 - 6 has been a correction.
  • The uptrend in Gold remains intact and the latest pullback appears to be a correction. Price has recently breached key resistance at $1953.0, the Sep 1 high, and $1987.5, the Jul 20 high. The continuation higher strengthens a bullish theme. A bearish theme in WTI futures remains in play and the contract traded lower again yesterday. This week’s move down has resulted in a break of support at $80.20, the Oct 6 low. The breach highlights a stronger short-term reversal.
  • Bund futures maintain a firmer tone - for now - and the contract is trading closer to its recent highs. Price has recently traded through key resistance at 130.20, the Oct 12 high and a bull trigger. A clear break of this hurdle would strengthen current bullish conditions. Gilt futures maintain a firmer short-term tone and price is trading closer to its recent highs. The contract has cleared 93.82, 61.8% of the Oct 12 - 23 bear leg and 94.52, the 76.4% retracement point.

The pair recently breached the 50-day EMA and this has exposed key resistance at 0.6522, the Aug 30 and Sep 1 high. A clear break of this hurdle would strengthen bullish conditions and open 0.6582, a Fibonacci retracement point. Initial firm support lies at 0.6393, the 20-day EMA.

  • SUP 4: 1.3417 Low Sep 29

USDCAD traded sharply lower last week but has managed to find support this week at Monday’s 1.3629 low. The recovery means a support around the 50-day EMA, at 1.3646, stays intact and this suggests the move lower between Nov 1 - 6 has been a correction. The trend is up and MA studies are in a bull-mode position. The bull trigger is 1.3899, Nov 1 high. A clear break of the 50-day EMA would be bearish and expose trendline support at 1.3582.

  • SUP 3: 104.720 2.00 proj of the Aug 24 - 30 - Sep 1 price swing
  • SUP 4: 104.620 Low Jul 11 (cont)

The broader trend outlook in Schatz futures is bearish and recent gains are considered corrective - for now. However, the contract did pierce resistance last week at 105.320, the Oct 10 high. A clear breach of this level would strengthen the short-term bullish condition and signal scope for a stronger corrective cycle. This would open 105.372, a Fibonacci retracement. Firm support is at 104.940, the Oct 26 low. A break would be bearish.
