Mar-26 11:00
  • In the equity space, S&P E-Minis are trading at their recent highs. The trend condition is bearish and the latest recovery appears corrective. MA studies remain in a bear-mode set-up, highlighting a dominant downtrend. However, this week’s gains have resulted in a breach of the 20-day EMA. This signals scope for a continuation higher near-term - towards 5864.25, the Jan 13 low. A reversal lower would refocus attention on 5559.75, the Mar 13 low and bear trigger. First support to watch is 5650.75, the Mar 18 low.
  • The medium-term trend direction in EUROSTOXX 50 futures is up and recent short-term weakness is considered corrective. Support to watch is the 50-day EMA, at 5293.33. It has recently been pierced. A clear break of it would highlight a stronger short-term bear threat and suggest scope for a retracement towards 5160.00, the Feb 4 low. The bull trigger is 5516.00, the Mar 3 high. Clearance of this level would resume the uptrend.
