EQUITIES: Recent Gains for Eurstoxx 50 Futures Confirms Resumption of Uptrend

EQUITIES

Eurostoxx 50 futures traded higher Tuesday and the contract is holding on to its gains. The move higher confirms once again, a resumption of the uptrend that started on Nov 21 ‘24. Moving average studies are in a bull mode set-up too, highlighting a dominant uptrend. The focus is on 5434.10 next, a Fibonacci projection. Initial firm support to watch lies at 5243.32, the 20-day EMA. The 50-day EMA is at 5094.95. Price action on Feb 3 in the S&P E-Minis contract continues to highlight a possible short-term reversal threat. If correct, it suggests that the latest bounce is a correction. A resumption of weakness would open 5892.37, a Fibonacci retracement point. On the upside, a stronger rally would expose key resistance at 6178.75, the Dec 6 ‘24 high. Clearance of this hurdle would resume the primary uptrend.

  • Japan's NIKKEI closed higher by 162.53 pts or +0.42% at 38963.7 and the TOPIX ended 0.32 pts higher or +0.01% at 2733.33.
