MARKET INSIGHT
  • In the equity space, S&P E-minis traded below the 50-day EMA but quickly recovered, bouncing off the session low and is currently trading back above this EMA and pivot support level - the EMA intersects at 4648.36 today. The bounce is a bullish development and note that yesterday's price pattern is a hammer - a reversal signal. Watch resistance at 4715.75, Jan 6 high and support at 4572.75, yesterday’s low. Both are potentially important directional triggers. EUROSTOXX 50 futures has also managed to find support at its 50-day EMA. Key short-term support has been defined at 4216.50, yesterday’s low. A stronger recovery would open 4381.5, the Jan 5 high.
