The Wall Street 30 stock index’s (cash) positive directional momentum appears to have weakened as it has eased slightly from the new all-time-high of 29,401. The index looks to be a bit flat – something also backed by the Ichimoku lines. Moreover, the short-term oscillators reflect a stall in the positive move, with the MACD declining below its red trigger line in the positive zone, and the RSI falling in bullish territory below its latest trendline. That said, the upward [..]
US dollar index futures are exposed to downside risks as regards the market trend. The first clue is the lower high and the lower lows registered below the 2 ½-year peak of 99.30 and second is the death cross created between the 50- and 200-day simple moving averages (SMA) after more than a year – if sustained. In terms of momentum, the short-term bias is currently viewed as neutral-to-positive as the RSI is moving sideways above its 50 neutral mark and the MACD [..]
UK 100 Stock Index (cash) retraced from the five-month high of 7,689 below the simple moving averages (SMAs) on the four-hour chart but further losses were restricted by the Ichimoku cloud’s lower boundary at 7,557. The short-term oscillators reflect mixed signals in momentum. The MACD sponsors negative momentum as it is below its red trigger line and has just slipped below the zero mark, whereas, the RSI is rising after reversing ahead of the 30 oversold level, promoting a pickup [..]
UK 100 Index (Cash) retraced from the five-month high of 7,688.98 below the simple moving averages (SMAs) on the four-hour chart but further losses were restricted by the Ichimoku cloud’s lower boundary at 7,557. The short-term oscillators reflect mixed signals in momentum. The MACD sponsors negative momentum as it is below its red trigger line and has just slipped below the zero mark. Whereas, the RSI is rising after reversing ahead of the 30 oversold level, promoting a pickup in [..]
Germany 30 Index (Cash) bounced off the 50-period simple moving average (SMA) yesterday, which resulted in a pickup in positive momentum and four successive positive sessions to retest the 23-month high of 13,548. The short-term oscillators suggest that positive directional momentum is strengthening. The MACD, remained above zero, and is increasing over its red trigger line, while the RSI is rising in bullish territory. Moreover, the ADX reflects a strong positive trend in place, also aided by the uptrend line [..]
Japan 225 stock index (cash) has run out of fuel in its second attempt to overtake the 24,162 level. The recent stall in the up move can also be seen in the flattening of the Bollinger bands and the RSI, which is in the bullish territory. The short-term oscillators reflect mixed signals of momentum while the simple moving averages (SMAs) lean towards an improving picture. The MACD is rising above its red trigger line in the positive zone, while the [..]
The US 500 stock index (cash) seems to be completing a bearish doji star formation if it ends the day in the red. The price recorded a fresh all-time high of 3,295 on Tuesday but the overbought conditions have already been detected as the RSI has been flattening near the 70 level over the last month. The slowdown in the MACD further increases the case for a downside correction or at least for some stabilization. Traders would like to see [..]
The US dollar index futures rose above the short-term 20-day simple moving average (SMA) and is approaching the 40-SMA, creating the fourth green day in a row. The price is still developing within a downward sloping channel since October 2019. The fast Stochastics and the RSI, signal that the bearish action is running out of fuel and hence a rebound of the price off the line is likely as the indicators are moving up. Furthermore, the MACD oscillator surpassed the trigger line, completing a [..]
The US 100 index has been in a flying mode since yesterday, recording again a fresh all-time high around 8974.27 after it hit the 8660 support, which overlaps with the short-term 20-day simple moving average (SMA). According to the RSI, the market could maintain positive momentum in the short-term as the indicator is positively sloped above its 70 level, though the fast Stochastics suggest that the market is located in overbought territory and therefore some weakness is possible; the blue [..]
The German 30 stock index opened positive this week after hitting support at 12,946, which is where the price bottomed in December and peaked in October. The bulls are currently pushing efforts to extend the uptrend off 10,276 towards the record high of 13,600 registered on January 2018 and while the upward slope in the RSI endorses the positive move, the MACD has yet to comfortably rise above its red signal line, suggesting that some caution remains in the market. A [..]
