Despite posting gains on today, EuroSTOXX slid below its 50 day Simple Moving Average at 4,328.81 during the last session — an early indicator that a negative trend could be emerging. The STOXX Europe 50 Index's upper Bollinger Band® is at 4,393.2, this is a slight indication of a slowdown. The STOXX Europe 50 Index is 9.68 points away from testing key resistance at 4,335. Peaking above this level could inspire market bulls and open the path to further gains. On the other hand, note that price action remains constrained around the key Fibonacci level of 4,341 currently serving as resistance. If broken, the next Fib hurdle is expected to be 4,408.59.
After posting consistent gains as part of its uptrend and being lifted by intraday sentiment, technical factors suggest the STOXX Europe 50 Index is set for a reversal in the coming days.
