• E-mini S&P 500 Index futures finished higher last week as investors shrugged off concerns over the escalating trade tensions between the United states and China and decided to focus on second-quarter earnings and revenue reports as well as U.S. economic data.

A sustained move over 2793.00 will indicate the presence of buyers. If this move generates enough upside momentum then look for buyers to challenge the main top at 2814.00. Taking out this level will signal a resumption of the uptrend with the next target angle coming in at 2841.00. This is followed by another downtrending Gann angle at 2865.00. This is the last potential resistance angle before the 2889.00 main top.

A sustained move under 2789.25 will signal the presence of sellers. This could trigger a steep break into the major Fibonacci level at 2755.25, followed by Gann angles at 2741.25, 2722.25, 2717.25 and the major 50% level at 2713.25. These are the last lines of defense before the 2693.25 main bottom.
