EQUITIES: Short-Term Pullbacks in E-Mini S&P Considered Corrective

EQUITIES

Eurostoxx 50 futures maintain a firmer tone following recent gains. The move higher undermines a recent bearish theme. Price has traded through the 50-day EMA, at 4878.04. The clear breach of this average strengthens a bullish theme and note that 4961.00, the Nov 6 high, has also been cleared. This opens 5015.00, the Oct 29 high. Key support is 4699.00, the Nov 19 low. Initial support lies at 4870.94, the 20-day EMA. The S&P E-Minis contract maintains a bullish tone and short-term pullbacks are considered corrective. Recent gains confirm a resumption of the uptrend and signal scope for a continuation near-term. Note that moving average studies are in a bull-mode set-up, highlighting a dominant uptrend and positive market sentiment. Sights are on 6145.26, a Fibonacci projection. Initial support to watch lies at 6014.79, the 20-day EMA.
