• In the equity space, the trend condition in S&P E-Minis remains bullish and the contract is holding on to the bulk of its recent gains. For now, the latest pullback is considered corrective. The contract has pierced support at 6003.83, the 20-day EMA. A clear breach of this average would expose the 50-day EMA, at 5896.83. Key short-term resistance has been defined at 6128.75, the Jun 11 high. A break would resume the uptrend.
• EUROSTOXX 50 futures are trading closer to their recent lows. The latest pullback has resulted in a breach of the 50-day EMA at 5298.64. Price has also pierced 5255.00, the May 23 low. A clear break of both support points would signal a short-term top and highlight scope for a deeper retracement. This would open 5178.00, the May 6 low and 5081.16, 38.2% of the Apr 7 - May 20 bull leg. Initial resistance to watch is 5355.88, the 20-day EMA.
