A medium-term bull trend in EUROSTOXX 50 futures remains intact and this week’s gains reinforce bullish conditions. Note that the sharp pullback Thursday appears to be a correction - for now. A resumption of gains would signal scope for a climb towards 5853.50 next, the top of a bull channel drawn from the Aug 1 low. On the downside, initial firm support is seen at 5676.84, the 20-day EMA.

The contract has found support below the 50-day EMA, currently at 6605.62, and the Oct 10 low of 6940.25 has been defined as a key short-term support. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode position, highlighting a dominant uptrend. The bull trigger is 6812.25, the Sep 9 high. A breach of this hurdle would confirm a resumption of the uptrend.
