Daily & Commodity Markets Summary
Equity Indices
S&P 500 (SPX): Opened directly on the 7517 support before recovering to close within its primary black ascending channel, though a newly introduced, shallower red channel highlights a decelerated short-term trend losing upward momentum.
Nasdaq 100 (NDX): Exhibited a distinct loss of upward momentum to definitively break below its April ascending channel, triggering our stop loss and shifting the technical outlook to a sideways scenario until the 30,767 resistance is cleared.
Euro Stoxx 50 (FESX): Extended from the 6031 support to the 6113 resistance for the second time in three days, closing just below the ceiling but maintaining a bullish bias poised to target the upper long-term channel at 6250.
FTSE MIB Futures (FIB1!): Consolidated inside its third consecutive equal-amplitude trading range heading toward historic highs, preserving a bullish structure strictly managed by its short-term black channel support, with upside resistance raised to 50,640.
DAX Index (DAX): Staged a timid initial rebound off its neckline, requiring an aggressive upward expansion to validate its highly atypical inverse head and shoulders pattern and unlock the 25,970 target projection.
Russell 2000 (RUT): Powered back to all-time highs after a brief two-day consolidation pause, firmly confirming its bullish configuration as long as price action remains above the 2887 support level.
Commodities
Brent Crude Oil (BRN1!): Logged a corrective session grinding toward the lower boundary of its primary channel, though a newly mapped blue trendline connecting three structural lows explains the brief four-day bounce before heading into the lower green demand zone.
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM): Fully confirmed yesterday’s shooting star candlestick pattern, validating the post-breakout pullback rejection at the 137 resistance and cementing a structural bearish continuation toward the 131.42 target.
Forex & Fixed Income
U.S. 10-Year Treasury Yield (US10Y): Suffered a mild retracement but kept its daily candle body strictly above the lower wedge trendline, sustaining a bullish bias with the 4.434% static support acting as a critical horizontal anchor.
Euro / U.S. Dollar (EURUSD): Resumed its short-term bearish momentum following the validated pullback rejection at the 1.166 resistance ceiling, with price action targeting the 1.158 and 1.155 structural support levels next.
SPX – S&P 500 Index
Technical Analysis & Operational Framework The U.S. benchmark opened directly on the 7517 support floor before staging a recovery to close firmly within our primary black ascending channel.
As outlined yesterday, we have introduced a new “decelerated” channel (drawn in red on our chart) which better approximates the current, more tempered pace of price action. The short-term trend is visibly losing some of its previous momentum, a shift clearly reflected in the shallower inclination of this red channel guiding recent intraday oscillations.
Consequently, we remain BULLISH on the index. Our risk management parameter has now transitioned to the downside boundary of the red channel; any violation of this structure, or a confirmed daily close below the critical 7517 support level, will serve as our absolute stop loss and invalidate the current setup.
Nasdaq 100 Index (NASDAQ:NDX)
Technical Analysis & Operational Framework Similar to the S&P 500, the tech-heavy benchmark highlights a distinct loss of upward momentum. In today’s session, price action definitively broke below the short-term ascending channel we had been tracking since the beginning of April.
While we have mapped out an alternative channel that we believe will encapsulate the broader extension of the bullish trend, we are strictly adhering to our established risk parameters. Consequently, our trailing stop has been triggered, shifting our primary outlook back to a SIDEWAYS scenario.
We will re-engage our bullish bias only upon a confirmed upside breach of the horizontal resistance area at 30,767. Immediate structural support rests at 29,670; any downside violation of this support would be highly negative for the overall technical setup.
BRN1! – Brent Crude Futures
Technical Analysis & Operational Framework As anticipated yesterday, the contract experienced a corrective session, grinding lower toward the support on the lower boundary of the ascending channel where price action has fluctuated throughout the entire oil crisis.
We have introduced a new blue trendline on the chart connecting the three sequential lows, which accurately explains the technical rebound observed over the last four sessions. Looking ahead, we continue to favor a deeper correction targeting the lower boundary of the overarching pattern (drawn in green on our chart).
BCOM – Bloomberg Commodity Index
Technical Analysis & Operational Framework As hinted yesterday, the technical setup was flashing a potential shooting star candlestick, and today’s price action officially confirms this bearish reversal pattern. This development solidifies our structural outlook following the channel breakout on May 27th and the subsequent pullback maneuver, which has now culminated in this validated shooting star rejection.
Consequently, we remain firmly BEARISH and expect the index to correct down toward our target in the 131.42 area. The invalidation parameter for this short scenario is clearly defined at the resistance area of 137.
FESX Future EURO STOXX 50 EUR
Technical Analysis & Operational Framework The European benchmark contract extended for the second time in three sessions from the support area at 6031 to the resistance level at 6113, ultimately closing just below this threshold.
While it might appear reasonable to anticipate a continuation of the recent sideways consolidation, we maintain our view that the contract will eventually break above the 6113 resistance. Such a breakout would open the way to target the upper boundary of the long-term ascending channel, currently situated in the 6250 area.
As a result, we keep our BULLISH scenario active, maintaining our stop loss unchanged at the defined support level.
FTSEMIB – FTSE MIB 40 FUTURE
Technical Analysis & Operational Framework We reaffirm yesterday’s market commentary as the Italian contract continues to consolidate within the third distinct trading range of its broader structural rally toward all-time highs.
Price action remains well-contained inside the short-term ascending channel (drawn in black on our chart). The lower boundary of this structure will continue to serve as the baseline support and represent the absolute stop loss for our BULLISH scenario.
Furthermore, we are raising our primary upside resistance level to 50,640. From a structural perspective, it is worth highlighting that all three consecutive trading ranges within this multi-month ascent are completely equal in amplitude.
DAX Index (INDEX:DAX)
Technical Analysis & Operational Framework The German benchmark index staged a first timid rebound precisely off the neckline.
To confirm the scenario outlined yesterday and fully validate the bullish head and shoulders pattern, price action would require a highly extended upward expansion. This continuation is necessary to reach our ultimate structural target—derived from projecting the pattern’s geometry—located in the 25,970 area.
We reiterate that this formation is highly atypical, as it developed immediately following a remarkably prolonged sideways consolidation trend rather than a traditional downtrend.
US10Y – U.S. Treasury Bond 10‑Year Yield
Technical Analysis & Operational Framework The U.S. 10-year yield experienced a mild retracement during today’s session. Crucially, the real body of the candlestick managed to close above our ascending trendline, which continues to mark the lower boundary of the large wedge formation we have extensively detailed in past reports.
As long as this trendline provides reliable support, we will firmly maintain our BULLISH scenario with our risk parameters unchanged. Additionally, the horizontal static support area at 4.434% remains a decisive pivot for the structural evolution of this technical framework.
EUR/USD – Euro vs U.S. Dollar
Technical Analysis & Operational Framework While intraday price movement remains limited, this corrective phase was graphically predictable based on our structural layout. Following the downside breakdown on May 15th, the pair executed a classic pullback maneuver that carried the exchange rate back to the lower boundary of the channel, colliding directly with the horizontal resistance in the 1.166 area.
Today’s session marks the resumption of this short-term bearish trend. On the downside, we expect immediate support in the 1.158 area, with our primary target locked at 1.155. A subsequent breach below these structural floors would severely damage the technical picture.
Consequently, we remain firmly BEARISH on the pair, keeping our strict invalidation stop fixed at the 1.166 resistance level.
RUSSELL 2000 (Small cap Index)
Technical Analysis & Operational Framework The U.S. small-cap benchmark has returned to its all-time highs, validating a brief sideways consolidation phase over the last few sessions. Crucially, this short-term pause in momentum remains well-contained above the horizontal support area at 2887.
Consequently, we firmly reaffirm our BULLISH scenario. Our risk management strategy remains strictly unchanged, with our stop loss anchored directly at this primary support level.
