EUROSTOXX50 TECHS: (M5) Monitoring Support At The 50-Day EMA

Mar-27 06:43
  • RES 4: 5600.00 Round number resistance
  • RES 3: 5562.87 0.764 proj of the Feb 3 - Mar 3 - 11 price swing  
  • RES 2: 5516.00 High Mar 3 and the bull trigger   
  • RES 1: 5471.00 High Mar 19 / 20             
  • PRICE: 5320.00 @ 06:25 GMT Mar 27 
  • SUP 1: 5295.60/5229.00 50-day EMA / Low Mar 11 and a bear trigger                
  • SUP 2: 5202.00 Low Feb 2 
  • SUP 3: 5160.00 Low Feb 4       
  • SUP 4: 5079.00 Low Feb 3 and a key support      

The medium-term trend direction in Eurostoxx 50 futures is up and recent short-term weakness - for now - appears corrective. Support to watch is the 50-day EMA, at 5295.60. It has recently been pierced. A clear break of it would highlight a stronger short-term bear threat and suggest scope for a retracement towards 5160.00, the Feb 4 low. The bull trigger is 5516.00, the Mar 3 high. Clearance of this level would resume the uptrend.

EURGBP TECHS: Trading Closer To Its Recent Lows

Feb-25 06:30
  • RES 4: 0.8378 High Feb 6 and a key resistance    
  • RES 3: 0.8361 50.0% retracement of the Jan 20 - Feb 3 bear leg  
  • RES 2: 0.8335 50-day EMA  
  • RES 1: 0.8321 20-day EMA   
  • PRICE: 0.8292 @ 06:30 GMT Feb 25
  • SUP 1: 0.8265/8248 Low Feb 21 / 3 and bear trigger
  • SUP 2: 0.8223 Low Dec 19 and a key support  
  • SUP 3: 0.8203 Low Mar 7 ‘22 and a lowest point of a multi-year range   
  • SUP 4: 0.8163 123.6% retracement of the Dec 19 - Jan 20 bull leg 

EURGBP continues to trade closer to its recent lows. A resumption of weakness would expose the key short-term support at 0.8248, the Feb 3 low. Clearance of this level would strengthen a short-term bearish condition. Note that the early February bounce does highlight a possible bullish reversal theme. Clearance of  0.8378, the Jan 6 high and a key short-term pivot resistance, would be a positive development for bulls.

  • SUP 4: 5112.00 Low Feb 3 and a key support   

The trend condition in the Eurostoxx 50 futures contract remains up and last week’s climb to a new alltime high on the continuation contract, reinforces a bull theme. Note too that moving average studies are in a bull-mode set-up, highlighting a dominant uptrend and positive market sentiment. Sights are on 5574.57 next, a Fibonacci projection. Initial firm support to watch is 5387.59, the 20-day EMA. A pullback would be considered corrective.
