Bears continue to dominate equity markets. Patches of support are visible across North America, Europe and Asia but this is likely to be a secondary rally rather than a trend change.<\/p>\n

The Russian bear is also playing up. This time in Syria. Senator John McCain sums up the escalating crisis in the Middle East<\/a> in this 15-minute video.<\/p>\n

North America<\/h2>\n

The S&P 500 respected support between 1870 and 1900, rallying toward another test of resistance at 2000. The 21-day Twiggs Money Flow peak just above zero continues to indicate (medium-term) selling pressure. Recovery above 2000 is unlikely, but would signal a relieving rally. Breach of support at 1870 would confirm the primary down-trend.<\/p>\n

\"S&P<\/p>\n

* Target calculation: 1900 – ( 2000 – 1900 ) = 1800<\/p>\n

The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) holding above 20 indicates elevated market risk.<\/p>\n

\"S&P<\/p>\n

NYSE short sales<\/a> remain subdued.<\/p>\n

Dow Jones Industrial Average is testing support at 16000. Long tails on the last two weekly candles and recovery of 13-week Twiggs Money Flow above zero indicate strong support. Breach of 16000 would confirm a primary down-trend but we are likely to see a (secondary) bear rally beforehand.<\/p>\n

\"Dow<\/p>\n

Bellwether transport stock Fedex continues to warn of a contraction in economic activity.<\/p>\n

\"Fedex\"<\/p>\n

And retail sales growth remains subdued.<\/p>\n

\"Retail<\/p>\n

A long tail on Canada’s TSX 60 indicates continued support despite the breach of 790. Declining 13-week Twiggs Momentum below zero indicates a primary down-trend. Recovery above 820 is unlikely, but would suggest a bear trap<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"TSX<\/p>\n

* Target calculation: 800 – ( 900 – 800 ) = 700<\/p>\n

Europe<\/h2>\n

Germany’s DAX signals a primary down-trend, but appears to have found secondary support at 9500. Recovery of 13-week Twiggs Money Flow above zero would suggest a bear rally.<\/p>\n

\"DAX\"<\/p>\n

The Footsie found strong support at 6000, with long tails and 13-week Twiggs Money Flow recovering above zero. Penetration of the descending trendline is unlikely but would warn of a bear trap. Breach of support at 6000 is more likely and would confirm the primary down-trend.<\/p>\n

\"FTSE<\/p>\n

Asia<\/h2>\n

The Shanghai Composite Index continues to test government-enforced support at 3000. Recovery above 3500 is most unlikely. Breach of 3000 would warn of another sharp sell-off.<\/p>\n

\"Dow<\/p>\n

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index broke support at 21000, confirming the primary down-trend — signaled earlier by 13-week Twiggs Money Flow.<\/p>\n

\"Hang<\/p>\n

Japan’s Nikkei 225 is testing primary support between 16500 and 17000. Gradual decline on 13-week Twiggs Money Flow suggests a secondary correction, but reversal of 13-week Momentum below zero warns of a primary down-trend. Breach of 16500 would confirm.<\/p>\n

\"Nikkei<\/p>\n

* Target calculation: 17500 – ( 19000 – 17500 ) = 16000<\/p>\n

India’s Sensex found support at 25000 before testing resistance at 26500. 13-Week Twiggs Money Flow trough above zero indicates strong buying pressure. Recovery above 26500 would warn of a bear trap. Reversal below 25000 is less likely, but would confirm the primary down-trend.<\/p>\n

\"SENSEX\"<\/p>\n

* Target calculation: 25000 – ( 26500 – 25000 ) = 23500<\/p>\n

Australia<\/h2>\n

The ASX 200 also shows solid support at 5000, with rising 21-Day Twiggs Money Flow indicating medium-term buying pressure. Recovery above 5200 would indicate a bear rally. Breach of 5000 remains likely, however, and would confirm the primary down-trend.<\/p>\n

\"ASX<\/p>\n

* Target calculation: 5000 – ( 5400 – 5000 ) = 4600<\/p>\n
