U.S. stock-index futures traded fell on Thursday, as investors were frustrated by a bigger-than-expected climb in weekly jobless claims in the U.S., which suggested a stalling recovery in the country’s labor market, as well as little progress in talks on additional stimulus measures between Democrats and Republicans.

FXStreet reports that analysts at Credit Suisse note that the S&P 500 Index has been unable to maintain its move to new highs, leaving in place a small bearish “reversal day” and support at 3650/44 needs to hold to keep the immediate risk higher.
“With the market remaining seen in a ‘euphoric’ state (91% S&P 500 stocks are above their 200-day average and the market is well above the upper end of what we see as its ‘typical’) the rally is now seen at a more critical and vulnerable state and supports need to now be watched very carefully, especially with daily MACD momentum slowing.”
“Key near-term remains seen 3650/44 – key price/gap support and the 13-day exponential average. We need to see this hold to suggest the immediate risk can still stay higher with resistance seen at 3698 initially, above which is needed to clear the way for strength back to 3712, then 3720/25, which we look to cap at first. Above in due course though should see what we look to be a tougher test of a cluster of Fibonacci projection levels in the 3765/85 band.”
