  • RES 4: 6080.75 High Feb 26    
  • RES 3: 6057.00 High Mar 3  
  • RES 2: 6000.00 Round number resistance
  • RES 1: 5993.50 High May 20 and the bull trigger

  • SUP 2: 5596.00 Low May 7  
  • SUP 3: 5455.50 Low Apr 30
  • SUP 4: 5355.25 Low Apr 24 

A bullish trend condition in S&P E-Minis remains intact and the latest pullback appears to have been a correction. Last Friday’s sell-off resulted in a print below the 20-day EMA, at 5794.26. A key support lies at 5728.00, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of this average is required to highlight a stronger reversal and signal scope for a deeper retracement. Sights are on the bull trigger at 5993.50, the May 20 high.
