EUROSTOXX 50 futures remain vulnerable however a corrective cycle is still in play following last week’s recovery. The move higher is allowing an oversold condition to unwind. Resistance to watch is at 3817.30, the 20-day EMA. This has been probed and a clear break would suggest scope for a stronger recovery with the 50-day EMA at 3985.70. The latter EMA is a key resistance. The broader trend direction is down, the bear trigger is 3380.00.
