Eurostoxx 50 - approaching critical level

The Eurostoxx is at a very important juncture. The index is retesting the 2009 and 2011 tops at 3100. A successful weekly close above this level would argue for a move to 3500 or even 3700.

Analysis

-          The weekly chart (chart1) shows a supportive MACD, with no divergences and higher highs confirming the move in price

-          Breadth (red line) is very positive , posting new highs in line with price. Volume is supportive as well (bottom panel, chart2)

-          The monthly chart (chart3) shows a bullish breakout of the macd above its long term resistance. We have seen similar moves in other market at the beginning of the year (S&P, FTSE etc) and as you know this is a signal which I rely quite a bit on because it has a great track record. As you can see from the monthly chart the 2  channels cross around 3500-3700 and as of today this is the only target I could find. Price action will give us more hints going forward
