TECHS: E-Minis Steady Above Recent Lows

EQUITIES

S&P fut. are unwinding recent weakness as US voters go to the polls.

  • E-Minis (Z0) traded lower since Oct 12 but found support on Oct 30.
  • A short-term reversal is clearly highlighted by a Doji Japanese candle pattern on Oct 30.
  • This pattern highlights indecision (or caution) as markets steadied themselves ahead of today's US election.
  • Taking a look at the broader technical structure, we observe that:
  • The current bull cycle (since March) remains intact.
  • The correction lower since Sep 3 has been relatively flat.
  • This suggests broader bearish sentiment has yet to surface.
  • Key levels to watch:
    • Support at 3198.00, Sep 24 low. A break would signal rising risk aversion
    • Resistance at 3362.82 and 3374.18, the 50- and 20-day EMAs. A clear break of this zone would be bullish and open key resistance at 3541.00, Oct 12 high and 3576.25, Sep 3 high.
