TECHS: S&P Fut. Rally Stalls At Bear Channel Top

EQUITIES

There has been some focus this morning on the pullback in E-Minis, From a technical perspective it is worth noting that this week's gains have so far stalled at a key chart point.

  • Earlier this week we highlighted the relatively flat correction that has unfolded since Sep 3.
  • A bear channel is evident since the peak in early Sep.
  • Yesterday, the top of the channel intersected 3510.25. Price action probed this ceiling with a print of 3522.50 before pulling back.
  • A clear break of yesterday's high would highlight a channel break out and expose key resistance at:
    • 3541.00, Oct 12 high and
    • 3576.25, Sep 3 high and the primary bull trigger. A break of this level would confirm a resumption of the broader uptrend.
  • A failure at the channel top would suggest scope for a deeper pullback though. The Oct 30 low lies at 3225.00.
