MNI DAILY TECHNICAL ANALYSIS - Equity Space Sentiment Remains Bullish

Price Signal Summary - Equity Space Sentiment Remains Bullish

• In the equity space, S&P E-minis maintain a bullish tone and further gains are likely near-term. Another all-time high print was registered Friday. Continued gains confirm a resumption of the uptrend and the focus is on 4717.00 next, a Fibonacci projection. EUROSTOXX 50 futures uptrend remains intact and price has settled close to recent highs. The recent breach of a former key resistance at 4223.00, Sep 6 high and a key bull trigger strengthens the bullish theme.
• In FX, EURUSD remains above Friday's low of 1.1514. Short-term gains are considered corrective and the underlying trend remains bearish. Last week's print below 1.1524, Oct 12 low highlights a resumption of the downtrend. GBPUSD traded higher yesterday and is retracing part of last week's move lower. The outlook remains bearish though. The break lower last week resulted in a breach of support at 1.3544, Oct 6 low. USDJPY started the week on a softer note. Yesterday's move lower resulted in a break of support at 113.00, the Oct 12 low. The breach of this support signals scope for a deeper pullback and opens 112.08, Sep 30 high.
• On the commodity front, Gold reversed course late last week following the bounce off Wednesday's low of $1759.0. The turnaround reinstates a potential bullish outlook and the yellow metal has traded above $1813.8, Oct 22 high. WTI futures maintain a bearish tone despite the bounce off last week's low. The Nov 3-4 sell-off resulted in a breach of support at $80.58, Oct 28 low and note that price also cleared the 20-day EMA.
• In the FI space, Bund futures are trading closer to recent highs. Last week's gains resulted in a break of resistance at 169.83, Oct 27 high. Note too that futures have also cleared the 50-day EMA. The break of both these levels suggest scope for a stronger short-term corrective bounce. Gilt futures traded sharply higher last week. This has reinforced a recent bullish signal that highlighted a reversal - the break and close above 125.27, Oct 14 high confirmed a double bottom reversal pattern on Oct 27.
