The monthly chart of the Madrid General Index highlights the extent of Spain’s problems, with the index breaking support at 750 and headed for its 2009 low of 700. A 63-day Twiggs Momentum peak below the zero line warns of a strong down-trend. Failure of 700 would signal a decline to 600*.<\/p>\n

The broader Dow Jones Europe Index is undergoing a correction on the weekly chart. The sharp fall on 13-week Twiggs Money Flow warns of selling pressure. Failure of medium-term support at 240 is likely and would suggest another test of primary support at 210.

\nA 13-week Twiggs Money Flow trough above the zero line would signal continued buying pressure. Failure of support, however, would warn that the up-trend is weakening.<\/p>\n
