A reversal higher in S&P E-Minis last week highlights the start of a corrective cycle. The trend condition has been oversold following recent weakness and the move higher is allowing this set-up to unwind. Initial resistance to watch is 5498.03, the 20-day EMA. Resistance at the 50-day EMA is at 5701.85. On the downside, key support and the bear trigger has been defined at 4832.00, the Apr 7 low. A break of this level would resume the M/T downtrend.
