Price Signal Summary - EUROSTOXX50 Futures Remain Heavy

MARKET INSIGHT
  • In the equity space, S&P E-minis traded to a fresh weekly high Thursday above the 20-day EMA at 4393.16. The break of this EMA suggests scope for an extension of recent gains towards the 50-day EMA at 4473.77. Broader trend conditions though remain bearish. Initial support is seen at 4227.50, Feb 25 low. EUROSTOXX 50 has traded lower again today to confirm a resumption of this year’s downtrend. The contract has retraced just over 50.0% of the entire bull cycle between Mar ‘20 - Nov ‘21. The focus is on 3560.30, 1.764 projection of the Jan 5 - 24 - Feb 2 price swing.
  • In FX, EURUSD has resumed its downtrend and technical signals suggest an extension lower is likely near-term. The focus is on 1.1000 and 1.0976, 2.00 projection of the Jan - Jun - May ‘21 price swing. GBPUSD has this week probed 1.3273, Feb 24 low. The outlook is bearish and a clear break lower would open 1.3163, Dec 8 low and a key support. EURGBP has resumed its downtrend this week. The cross has breached support at 0.8285, Feb 3 low and this has resulted in a move through key support at 0.8282/77, the Feb ’20 and Dec’19 lows and a key bear trigger. Note that prices below 0.8300 highlight a potential break of the base of a multi-year range - a key bearish development if confirmed. The focus is on 0.8242, 50% of the 2015-2020 upleg. USDJPY key short-term support at 114.16, the Feb 2 low, remains intact. The trend outlook is bullish above this level. A move higher would refocus attention on the bull trigger at 116.35, this year’s high on Jan 4.
  • On the commodity front, Gold is again trading at the top of its bull channel, drawn from the Aug 9 2021 low, that intersects at $1943.4. A clear break to the upside would reinforce bullish conditions and open the Feb 24 high of $1974.3. Key short-term support is unchanged at $1878.4 low, the Feb 24 low. Oil markets are volatile but remain in an uptrend. Gains this week in WTI futures confirmed a significant acceleration of the uptrend. The focus is on the $120.00 handle next.
  • In the FI space, Bund futures remain in a short-term uptrend. A resumption of gains would open 172.00. Gilts have pulled back from Tuesday’s high of 126.81.
