- Bullish conditions in S&P E-Minis remain intact and last week’s gains reinforce current conditions. A key short-term support has been defined at 5724.25, Nov 4 low.

The USDJPY trend condition is unchanged and remains bullish with price trading closer to its recent highs. Resistance at 153.88, the Oct 28 high, has been breached, reinforcing a bullish condition.

However, recent weakness has resulted in a breach of the 20-day EMA, and yesterday’s sell-off delivered a print below the 50-day EMA, at $2646.3. A bearish theme in WTI futures remains intact and Monday’s bearish start to the week reinforces current conditions. An extension lower would expose $65.99, the Oct 1 low, and $64.16, the Sep 10 low and key support.
- Bund futures traded higher Monday and the contract remains above its recent lows. Gains are considered corrective. The trend direction is down and last Wednesday’s break to a fresh cycle low reinforces this theme. A bearish trend condition in Gilts remains intact and short-term gains are considered corrective.
