The trend condition in S&P E-Minis is bearish and the latest recovery appears corrective. MA studies are unchanged - they remain in a bear-mode set-up, highlighting a dominant downtrend. However, Monday’s gains resulted in a breach of the 20-day EMA, at 5803.08. 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.

Mar-25 07:29
  • RES 4: $76.57 - High Jan 15 and the bull trigger   
  • RES 3: $72.91 - High Feb 11 and key resistance 
  • RES 2: $70.98 - High Feb 25

  • SUP 3: $60.00 - Psychological round number
  • SUP 4: $59.40 - 2.00 proj of the Jan 15 - Feb 4 - 11 price swing   

Despite recent gains, a bearish trend condition in WTI futures remains intact. However, a key pivot resistance at $69.12, the 50-day EMA, has been pierced. A clear breach of this hurdle would strengthen a bullish theme and open $70.98, the Feb 25 high. For bears, a reversal lower would expose the bear trigger at $64.85, the Mar 5 low. Clearance of this level would resume the downtrend and open $63.73 next, the Oct 10 ‘24 low.

Note that moving average studies are in a bull-mode position, highlighting a dominant uptrend and positive market sentiment. Support is at $2964.9, the 20-day EMA.
