UK & Europe correction

Dow Jones Europe Index respected resistance at 260, suggesting another correction. Declining 13-week Twiggs Money Flow indicates medium-term selling pressure; but a trough that respects the zero line would signal a primary up-trend. Respect of support at 240 would also suggest an up-trend.

* Target calculation: 260 + ( 260 – 210 ) = 310

The FTSE 100 is headed for a test of support at 5600. Respect of support would confirm the primary up-trend, as would a 13-week Twiggs Money Flow trough above zero.

Europe hesitates

UK & Europe: Selling pressure

The FTSE 100 is running into resistance at 6000 — note the short weekly candles and bearish divergence on (medium-term) 21-day Twiggs Money Flow. Expect retracement to test the new band of support between 5600 and 5700. The primary trend, however, remains upward; so the target of 6100 is unchanged.

Germany’s DAX has also run into medium-term selling pressure, but remains in a strong primary up-trend with a target of 7500*.

* Target calculation: 6500 + ( 6500 – 5500 ) = 7500

Italy’s MIB Index is not yet in a primary up-trend, but narrow consolidation below 17000 suggests an upward breakout. Medium-term selling pressure is evident, however, even on the long-term 13-week Twiggs Money Flow, and failure of support at 16,000 would warn of another test of the primary band at 13,000 – 13,500.
