Thursday’s Futures Outlook: FTSE, Dax, Eurostoxx

By Carol Harmer on April 9, 2009 | More Posts By Carol Harmer | Author's Website

FTSE June Contract

Ftse weakened to 3825 then buyers entered the market and took this to the 50% retrace fib level of 3909/12 just falling shy at 3906. This should show the underlying strength in this market and keep the buyers happy to enter the market at lower levels.

There is still the 3909/12 resistance to overcome but once buyers have wiped this away you should expect another rise with 3957 to 3966 the targeted area. Buyers will be looking to take profits at these higher levels, and sellers will be circling like hyenas waiting to pounce to knock this lower. Sellers will only wobble over 3975. Buyers would gleefully see them suffer as they ramp the market higher to 3996.5.

Failure to break above 3912 keeps FTSE depressed leaving sellers free to push back to 3859. Below here sees another wave of selling with 3809/03 targeted where once more buyers are waiting in the wings.

Dax June Contract

Dax has resistance at 4400, and buyers would only be interested if this level was to crack. Sellers would run for cover as the market was pushed higher by buyers looking for 4472. Profit taking and fresh selling should limit the topside initially. Sellers should win the short term move lower from these highs, but will encounter support once more at 4359/56. Buyers are expected to be waiting in the wings at these lower levels and it really is only below 4350 that they will wobble and sellers will return to push this lower for 4331.

So both buyers and sellers are looking to 4472. If this level does break you will see buyers wrench power from the sellers and ramp this higher with 4546 then the targeted area.

Eurostoxx June Contract

Eurostxx rebounded dramatically from the lower open as buyers saw their chance for easy money. The higher close should have sellers worried, and would expect them to stand on the sidelines during the open just to make sure of which direction they wish to take. Buyers however will be in no doubt and look for this to come higher with 2158 to 2171 the resistance band they would feel comfortable in taking profits..

If 2071 breaks buyers will once more outstrip sellers and lead this higher for 2190/93.

However if the contract stalls at 2132 on the open, sellers would be likely to indulge themselves with 2083 looking to entice this lower.. Buyers will be out in force to these lower levels and it is really only below 2080 that buyers would wobble and sellers rule the day taking control for 2061.
