EUROSTOXX 50 futures continue to trade above 3343.00, the Jul 5 low. Short-term gains are still considered corrective and the primary trend direction remains down. Last week’s breach of support at 3384.00, Jun 16 low, reinforces bearish conditions and highlights a resumption of the broader downtrend, opening 3321.30, a Fibonacci retracement. Initial resistance is at 3504.00, the Jul 8 high. A break would signal scope for a stronger recovery.
