Yesterday the SP 500 index rose to the high of the previous day and returned violently down, stopping at the 10 day Moving Average.

For the particular case of the Dax index, today, a break down from the yesterday’s Inside Candle occurred at the market opening time, allowing to foresee the continuation of the decline.

Just like predicted, today the Dax has reached the lower line of the trumpet @ 9790 and declined to the minimum of 9756.

This week wasn’t as good as the previous, but still was not bad.

We may have a “pullback” for the Leading Indexes, early next week.

Which you all a nice weekend.

Gold dropped and then rebounded on this Monday to near three-month highs, reaching 1329.31.

Geopolitical instability has been underpinning the yellow metal in recent weeks.

This is not good news for Stocks.

U.S. stocks rose to records, as gauges of factory output in major economies signaled expansion.

The U.S. economy is seen as stable. Valuations are not cheap, but that doesn’t mean the end of the bull market.

Major Indexes benefited and climbed significantly today.

We might watch to a narrow day in the markets tomorrow.

One of the best trading weeks of 2014.
The forum is a great help.
Which you all a nice weekend.

U.S. Stocks plunged today, led by a sell off among small companies, as investors weighed valuations and speculated the FED may raise interest rates sooner than expected.
The decline may continue tomorrow.

Stocks rebounded from a two-day decline with the idea that the awareness of complacency in the market was offset by good news on employment and the prospect of good news about the corporate profits.

Although preferring a bearish Scenario, we have always to consider the possibility of the continuation of the rebound.

Happy trading. :slight_smile:

My preference for the Scenario of a decline in the Markets, mentioned in the previous post, was confirmed today, with the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index resuming a selloff started earlier this week, as signs of financial stress in Portugal fueled demand for haven assets.

I maintain my preference for the continuation of this decline.

The latest measures taken by the Administration of Banco Espirito Santo and the potential measures to stimulate the Euro economy, led the major stock indexes to rise while gold falls today with one of the largest declines in 2014.

Janet Yellen told today the easing shall continue as problems remain in labor markets and inflation is still below the Fed’s goal.

Can we conclude the markets will continue to climb?

Light Crude rose after the announcement of the reduction in U.S. stocks, following the increase of the processing rates in refineries.

The recent positive data from China and the great reduction of stocks, should lead to an increase of the price of this asset.
