  • 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

  • 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.

Likewise Agriculture, and many other “things.” It all has to change, but especially with CHINA!!!"
