The trend condition in Eurostoxx 50 futures remains bullish and short-term weakness for now, appears corrective. Support at 5281.00, the Jul 1 / 4 low, remains intact. A clear break of this level would strengthen a bearish threat. For bulls, a resumption of gains would refocus attention on key resistance and the bull trigger at 5486.00, the May 20 high.

EURGBP reversed sharply lower from Monday’s intraday high. For now, the trend set-up remains bullish, however, Monday’s price pattern - a bearish engulfing candle - does signal a potential short-term reversal. A continuation lower would expose support at the 20-day EMA, at 0.8649. Clearance of this average would signal scope for a deeper retracement. For bulls, a move through 0.8769, the Jul 27 high, would confirm a resumption of the uptrend.
