The US 100 stock index (cash) resumed this week’s sideways move within the 11,619 and 11,743 boundaries, represented by the 61.8% and 50% Fibonacci levels of the rally that started from 11,212, despite briefly tumbling to a two-week low of 10,743. The 100-period simple moving average (SMA) on the four-hour chart is currently keeping the price under control, and more importantly, near the surface of the descending channel, suggesting that this could be a make or break point for the market. With [..]
Germany 30 stock index (Cash) looks to be fading further despite recently finding footing at the 12,339 level. Painting a deteriorating picture are the negatively charged Ichimoku lines, one of which has capped additional progress from the price bounce. Furthermore, the bearish tone of the simple moving averages (SMAs), and specifically the downwards overlap of the 100-period SMA by the 50-period one, may accelerate the decline. The short-term oscillators display the recent price gains but also consider a stall in [..]

The US 500 stock index is trimming its latest downfall in the four-hour chart after landing again on the ascending trendline and near its 50-period simple moving average (SMA). Technically, the short-term bias is set to switch back to bullish as the price is trying to strengthen above its 20-period SMA, while the RSI and the MACD are also pushing efforts to gain momentum above their neutral levels. A decisive close above the 3,500 level followed by a run towards the 3,533-3,549 resistance region [..]
US 30 stock index (Cash) after having pushed above the 50-period simple moving average (SMA) is now confronting the mid Bollinger band at the 28,600 barrier. The index appears to be regaining strength after a pivot back up from the 28,156 mark. The rising slopes of the 50- and 100-period SMAs and the recent bullish crossover of the 200-period SMA by the 100-period one may boost the short-term uptrend. The short-term oscillators also reflect increasing positive momentum. The MACD, slightly [..]
The third-quarter earnings season is finally here, with a horde of major US banks releasing their results this week. Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and Wells Fargo will all report on Wednesday before Wall Street’s opening bell, and their numbers will give us a sense of not just how the financial sector is doing, but also how the US consumer is faring. Overall, a lot of gloom has been priced into the banking industry, which in some cases may present [..]
The US 500 index has come under renewed buying interest, climbing above the 40-day simple moving average (SMA) following the rebound off the 3,200 support. The MACD and the RSI are heading slightly up, supporting the upside movement. The all-time high of 3,588.24 could be the next target, and if this gets violated, resistance could then develop around the 3,819 barrier, which is the 161.8% Fibonacci extension level of the down leg from 3,588.24 to 3,200. If sellers drive the pair [..]
The US 30 index is continuing its two-week-old rebound but with slower momentum, reaching one-month highs of 28,600 today. The short-term bias looks quite positive as the MACD is surpassing the trigger line, jumping in the positive area. The RSI, meanwhile, is flattening in the bullish territory, but it needs more progress for steeper inclines. The 29,210 resistance level could be a trigger point for more bullish actions, and if the index breaks the line, the all-time high of 29,582.61 would come next. Even higher, the market [..]
The US 500 index (cash) gave up all its gains on Tuesday, which reached an almost one-month high of 3,430, to close lower following Trump’s stimulus comments. In the four-hour chart, the 50- and 100-period simple moving averages (SMAs) provided a strong footing, keeping the upward pattern in the very short-term picture intact and the price within an ascending channel. Should the 20-period SMA give way, the index could take a rest around the 3,412 resistance region before targeting the upper bound [..]
The US 500 index rebounded on the 3,200 handle and the 100-day simple moving average (SMA), shifting back to the upside. Currently, the price found resistance at the 50-day SMA and the upper surface of the Ichimoku cloud, while the red Tenkan-sen and the blue Kijun-sen line are moving horizontally. The MACD and the RSI are also heading sideways failing to support the upside movement. To the upside, emanating pressure over the last couple of days has denied upside moves. [..]
