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.

  • SUP 4: 6427.00 Low Sep 2 

A sharp sell-off in S&P E-Minis last Friday appears corrective - for now. 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.

A bearish theme in WTI futures remains intact and Tuesday’s fresh cycle low reinforces current conditions. The move down last week resulted in a break of support at $60.40, the Oct 2 low. This highlights an extension of the bearish price sequence of lower lows and lower highs and the move down opens $57.50 next, the May 30 low. On the upside, key resistance is at $66.42, the Sep 29 high. First resistance is at $62.47, the 50-day EMA.
