EQUITY TECHS: E-MINI S&P: (M5) Bull Cycle Intact 

May-07 06:35
  • RES 4: 5864.43 200-dma     
  • RES 3: 5837.25 High Mar 25 and a bull trigger 
  • RES 2: 5773.25 High Apr 2       
  • RES 1: 5724.75 High May 2                               
  • PRICE: 5649.25 @ 07:24 BST May 7 
  • SUP 1: 5536.59 20-day EMA                        
  • SUP 2: 5355.25/5127.25 Low Apr 24 / 21 and a key support
  • SUP 3: 4996.43 76.4% retracement of the Apr 7 - 10 bounce
  • SUP 4: 4832.00 Low Apr 7 and the bear trigger

Bullish conditions in S&P E-Minis remain intact. The contract has breached the 50-day EMA, at 5622.98. A continuation of the bull phase would expose 5837.25 next, the Mar 25 high and a bull trigger. It is still possible that the entire rally since Apr 7 is a correction. A reversal lower would signal the end of this corrective phase and expose initially, support at 5127.25, the Apr 21 low. First support to watch is 5536.59, the 20-day EMA.
