Bell opening – Technical forecast for E-mini, Euro and Crude Oil

Macro overview

The United States has delayed tariffs on European imports until July 2025. This development has temporarily lifted market sentiment, leading to a short term rally in risk assets. However, Moody's potential downgrade of the U.S. credit rating continues to weigh on broader market stability.

A JPMorgan survey indicates a growing preference among global investors for European equities over U.S. stocks, citing concerns about high valuations and policy uncertainties.

Crude oil rallied in response to the tariff delay, signaling speculative support and short covering in energy markets.

The mid fork support at 5670 remains an important level if the price fails to reclaim 5922. Based on the hourly wave count, the 5th wave completed at 5992. From there, the decline started with Wave 1 at 5905, Wave 2 moved up to 5956, Wave 3 dropped to 5827, Wave 4 retraced to 5896, and Wave 5 went down to 5756, marking the completion of the wave structure. Currently, a corrective Wave B is in progress, which may reach the 5922 area. If that happens, a larger Wave C could follow, pushing the price down toward 5597. However, a break above 5943 would invalidate this entire wave structure.

Bearish momentum remains intact below 5922; price must break above 6009 to shift the outlook to neutral or bullish.
