E-mini S&P June futures reached 6,885\/6,890, then reversed to 6,847. Resistance was noted at 6,880\/6,900, with a possible Sunday night sell-off linked to failed peace talks.<\/p>\n
Downside targets are 6,820\/10 and 6,790\/6,780, with support at 6,770\/6,760. A break below 6,755 points to 6,730 and 6,710, with stronger support at 6,700\/6,680; a long trade stop is set below 6,660.<\/p>\n
E-mini Nasdaq June futures rose to 25,393 in a quiet session. Sell-off targets are 25,220\/200 and 25,100\/25,000, with support on a break below 25,920 at 24,850\/24,800 and a possible bounce to 25,000\/25,050.<\/p>\n
A break below 25,750 points to 24,680\/650 and then 24,520\/24,440. Long trades use stops below 24,350.<\/p>\n
E-mini Dow Jones June hit 48,400\/500 and found support at 48,100\/48,000. A break below 48,000 targets 47,800\/47,700, then 47,500\/460 and 47,250\/47,150, with long stops below 47,000.<\/p>\n
Looking back at our analysis from 2025, we saw Emini S&P futures hit our target of 6,885\/6,890 perfectly before pulling back. We noted then that overbought conditions and the breakdown of peace talks would likely cause a reversal. The current market in April 2026 is showing similar signs of exhaustion at its highs, making this past event a relevant guide.<\/p>\n
With the latest March 2026 CPI report showing core inflation remaining sticky at 3.7%, the odds of a near-term interest rate cut have diminished significantly. This macroeconomic pressure supports the view that we may see a sell-off in the coming weeks. We should therefore be cautious and watch for a potential test of lower support levels.<\/p>\n
A break below 6,755 could easily trigger a slide towards the 6,700\/6,680 area, a significant support zone that held during several pullbacks in 2025. We will watch this area for a potential bounce, but any long positions should be entered with caution and a clear stop below 6,660. The current CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) has crept up to 16.5, suggesting traders are pricing in more uncertainty.<\/p>\n
The Nasdaq futures, which barely pushed to 25,393 in 2025 before stalling, also appear vulnerable. Recent Q1 2026 earnings pre-announcements from key semiconductor firms have been mixed, hinting that the growth narrative is slowing down. This makes the tech-heavy index susceptible to a correction if broader market sentiment sours.<\/p>\n
If we see a sell-off, the first meaningful support level to watch is 24,850\/24,800. A break below this zone would be a bearish signal, likely leading to further losses toward the 24,520\/24,440 area. Longs should only be considered around these lower levels with stops placed below 24,350 to manage risk.<\/p>\n
For the Dow Jones futures, our 2025 target of 48,400\/500 proved to be a major ceiling. Today, the latest jobs report for March 2026 showed a robust gain of 260,000 jobs, which complicates the Federal Reserve’s task of taming inflation. This “good news is bad news” scenario could weigh on industrials and other rate-sensitive stocks.<\/p>\n
Therefore, a break below the 48,000 level seems probable in the near term, opening the door to support at 47,800\/47,700. If geopolitical tensions flare up again or economic data continues to run hot, we could see a faster slide to 47,250\/47,150. We will treat that zone as a potential area for a daily low, but any long trades would need a stop below 47,000.<\/p>\n
