FTSE June Contract
Ftse continued with gains yesterday and once above 3753 the buyers took over and thrust this higher with 3915 seen as the high. As to be expected profit taking and sellers came in at the highs to give the market a breathing space. Now your first support this morning is at 3861. Buyers will be loitering around this point looking to re-enter the market.
However there is good resistance at 3900/3920 and sellers will once more appear to try and halt the advance. If however 3925 breaks, you will see buyers take control and 3945/55 will entice.
You will find profit taking around here thus this resistance should hold first attempt. Buyers will be ready however to re-instate above 3955 for 3980.
As stated support is at 3861. If a loss is posted below here buyers will stand to one side and selling pressure will thrust this lower with 3925/22 as the first target. Sellers should be covering here and would only reinstate shorts below 3820 for 3809.

Dax June Contract
Dax reacted well yesterday and clawed back to the short term 50% retracement target at 4143. Sellers were out at these levels and the market came slightly lower on the close.
Today there is support at 4080. If sellers manage to push this lower through here look for 4063/52. Profit taking and fresh buyers should enter at this point , thus giving it a bit of support.
Below 4052 however will see the sellers ready and waiting to move this lower with 4038 to 4026 your first objective. Once more sellers should be covering to these lower levels. Buyers would also enter at this point thus act accordingly.
Buyers would only worry below 4012 for 3995/92.
On the topside resistance is available from the short term fib level of 4143. If the market makes a break above 4145 buyers will take on the market and lead it higher for 4162/72. Profit taking should halt advance, but if above 4172 look once more for 4180.

Eurostoxx June Contract
Eurostxx bounced higher, but was contained by short term 50% fib level of 2014 at 2018. You have seen the market ease from these highs, but the close was on good support and the open then this morning will determine direction.
1992 holding gives confidence to buyers and you should see another attack on the 2014/2018 resistance,. Profit taking and fresh sellers should cap initial advance.
However any move beyond 2026 gap should be viewed by buyers as excellent opportunity to re-establish position and advances should be made to 2036 then 2050. At 2050 would expect sellers to put a lid on it in the short term.
1992 breaking however sees sellers grabbing opportunity to move lower with 1970/67 the immediate attraction. Here short covering will be seen. Cautious buyers should emerge, but nervously watching 1965 as a break below here should trigger another wave of selling with 1952 your first target.
