Price Signal Summary - EUROSTOXX 50 Bearish Engulfing Still In Play

MARKET INSIGHT
  • In the equity space, S&P E-minis maintain a bullish theme and sights are on the 4300.00 handle. EUROSTOXX 50 futures have traded sharply lower today and this has exposed the key short-term support at 4015.00, Jun 21 low. A key technical pattern on Jun 18 - bearish engulfing candle - continues to warn of a short-term top in the trend. A break of 4015.00 would reinforce the importance of the engulfing line and signal scope for a deeper pullback potentially below 4000.00 towards 3914.00, May 20 low. Note too that the 50-day EMA intersects at 4014.40 and also represents a key short-term chart point.
  • In FX, the USD remains on a bullish path despite the recent corrective pullback. The EURUSD focus is on 1.1837 next, 76.4% of the Mar 31 - May 25 rally. GBPUSD remains vulnerable. Attention is on 1.3717 next, Apr 16 low. The bear trigger is 1.3787, Jun 21 low. USDJPY needle still points north. Attention is on 111.30/64, Mar 26, 2020 high and 1.0% 10-dma envelope.
  • On the commodity front, the yellow metal broke lower yesterday and cleared support at $1761.1, Jun 18 low. The break confirms a resumption of the downtrend that started Jun 1 and note the move lower also confirmed a bear flag that developed during the most recent consolidation phase. The focus is on $1733.5, 76.4% retracement of the Mar 8 - Jun 1 rally. The Oil market trend condition remains bullish and pullbacks are considered corrective. Brent (Q1) focus is $76.97, 1.23 projection of Mar 23 - May 18 - May 21 price swing. Support lies at $73.37, the 20-day EMA. WTI (Q1) sights are set on $75.01, 1.382 projection of Mar 23 - May 18 - May 21 price swing. Watch support at $71.12, the 20-day EMA.
  • Within FI,Bund futures are consolidating. The contract last week probed support at 171.80, Jun 17 low. A stronger sell-off would expose 171.37, Jun 3 low and 170.99, Mar 31 low and a key short-term support. Key support to watch in Gilt futures is at 126.70, Jun 3 low and marks an important pivot level. The key resistance is at 128.39, Jun 11 high.
