Investors also returned to the market as concerns eased further over a potential default by Chinese property developer Evergrande even as Reuters reported that some holders of the firm’s dollar bonds had given up hope of getting a coupon payment by a key Thursday deadline.

The direction of the December E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average on Friday is likely to be determined by trader reaction to 34655.
Bullish Scenario
A sustained move over 34655 will indicate the presence of buyers. Taking out the minor top at 34826 will change the minor trend to up and shift momentum to the upside. This could extend the rally into a pair of minor tops at 34907 and 35076. The latter is the last potential resistance before the main top at 35383 and the record high at 35429.
Bearish Scenario
A sustained move under 34655 will signal the presence of sellers. This could trigger a break into the 50% level at 34431.
We could see a technical bounce on the first test of 34431, but if it fails then we could see a retest of the main retracement zone at 34132 to 33826.
