Price Signal Summary - S&P E-Minis Gains Considered Corrective

MARKET INSIGHT
  • In the equity space, recent gains in S&P E-Minis are considered corrective and the primary trend direction remains down. Last week’s continuation lower and fresh cycle lows, reinforce the downtrend and signal scope for a continuation lower. The next objective is 3843.25, the Mar 25 2021 low (cont). The key short-term resistance is 4303.50, the Apr 26/28 high. Initial firm resistance is at 4099.00, May 9 high. The primary trend direction in EUROSTOXX 50 futures remains down. However, the contract is currently in a corrective cycle following the recovery from 3466.00, May 10 low. Price is trading at its recent highs and has probed resistance at 3739.60, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of this EMA would improve a short-term bullish theme. On the downside, key support and the bear trigger is 3466.00.
