FTSE June Contract

Ftse expected to open sharply higher, which is why support and resistance levels are so far away from the closing price. There was good resistance at 3980 but if the market opens above this, look for this level to support.

You could see sellers at the psychological of 4000/4002 coming in to hold FTSE here. Failure to hold below 4010 sees sellers wobble and reverse as this would take the market higher for 4029/34. You will have a large opening gap however, and markets do like to fill gaps, so buyers beware if the open is too far over 4000. After correction the market will trade higher and 4098/4100 would be the level that buyers will aim for.

As stated support would be at 3980. If this support fails to hold, sellers will get on the back of this for 3945/40 opening gap. Buyers will be at these lower levels and this support is expected to hold.

Dax June Contract

Dax reacted well yesterday and clawed back to the short term 61.8% retracement at 4189 exceeding to 4189. However the market is expected to open sharply higher today with 4245 the nearest to resistance to the opening call.

If sellers at out this morning, they should feel a little safer selling at these higher levels. However if the market does break above here then buyers will appear taking this higher through to 4280/85. Profit taking and fresh sellers would keep this level intact initially. Although 4285 is expected to break at some time soon.

Now markets do not usually like opening gaps. It unnerves them, so beware of the higher open, as the gap is still looking to entice within the days trading session.

The gap is down to 4179 and buyers will be there to defend this support. It would only be a loss through here that would unnerve buyers and see sellers take charge for 4142/45.

Eurostoxx June Contract

Eurostoxx has god resistance at 2099. If this is blitzed on the open, fresh buyers would be expected with 2126/34 then your targeted area. At these higher levels sellers are expected to reappear and push this lower. Sellers would only be at risk above 2139 with 2145/49 then looking to entice.

Once more profit taking and new sellers should limit the upside initially.

Opening gap down to 2046 will be in the back of sellers minds, so if the open stays below 2092/99 keep this lower level in mind. Obviously there are levels of support right down to here, and it will just be a case profit taking and reselling as each level gives way.
