Pullback in Eurostoxx 50 Futures Considered Corrective

EQUITIES

A bullish theme in Eurostoxx 50 futures remains intact and the latest pullback appears to be a correction. The short-term trend condition is overbought and a move lower would allow this overbought reading to unwind. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode position signalling a rising cycle and the potential for a continuation higher. A resumption of gains would open 4388.00, the Aug 30 high. Initial firm support to watch is at 4290.00, the 20-day EMA. A bullish theme in S&P e-minis remains intact and the contract is holding on to its recent gains. A strong rally on Nov 14 resulted in the break of a trendline drawn from the Jul 27 high. This breach reinforces bullish conditions and signals scope for a climb towards 4597.50, the Sep 1 high. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode position highlighting an uptrend. On the downside, initial firm support is seen at 4473.54, the 20-day EMA.
