Expect a re-test of support at 3.50%.
The yield differential (10-year T-notes minus 13-week T-bills) has declined below 3.0%.
Low differentials, of below 1.0%, are strong bear signals.

Gold
New York: Spot gold jumped to $399.30 just before the close, reacting to a tough day in the equity markets.
Initial resistance is at $400 to $408.
Long-term support is at $375 and resistance at $427.25. A breakout below/above these levels will signal resumption of the primary trend.

ASX Australia
The All Ordinaries made two marginal breaks above resistance of 3550, at [a] and [b], before retreating back within the consolidation pattern. Weak closes and higher volume at [c] and [d] indicate buying support.
An upward breakout would require confirmation from a pull-back that respects support at 3550.

An upward breakout would require confirmation from a pull-back that respects support at 3550.
A fall below 3500 is likely to test support at
3450. If that level holds, it will be a long-term bull
signal.
If support at 3450 does not hold and the index breaks below 3350, it will signal reversal of the primary trend.
Twiggs Money Flow signals accumulation, favoring continuation of the primary up-trend.

Point & Figure - Retracements
Retracements (or corrections) during a trend tell us about the strength of that trend. They test the strength of buyers' or sellers' commitment and establish a base for further gains (or losses). There are four major categories:
Short Retracements
A short retracement, against the direction of the primary trend, signals trend strength.
A short movement, in the direction of the primary trend, indicates trend weakness and a possible reversal.
A short column of Os at [2], on the Fedex chart below, is in the direction of the down-trend. It follows a long retracement at [1] and signals reversal of the primary trend to an up-trend.
Retracements (or corrections) during a trend tell us about the strength of that trend. They test the strength of buyers' or sellers' commitment and establish a base for further gains (or losses). There are four major categories:
- long retracement (covered last week)
- overlapping retracement (covered last week)
- short retracements (addressed today)
- no retracement - during an upward/downward spike (covered previously).
Short Retracements
A short retracement, against the direction of the primary trend, signals trend strength.
A short movement, in the direction of the primary trend, indicates trend weakness and a possible reversal.
A short column of Os at [2], on the Fedex chart below, is in the direction of the down-trend. It follows a long retracement at [1] and signals reversal of the primary trend to an up-trend.
The short retracement at [6] above (against the
direction of the primary up-trend) signals that the primary trend
is strong, with buyers firmly in control.
-
The first level of support encountered by
retracement [6] is the high of [3] at 57.50. If price
respects this level it signals that buyers are in control and
the trend is strong.
This often coincides with a 50% Fibonacci retracement of the previous up-swing. - The second level of support is stronger, at the low of [4]. Penetration of this level will signal trend weakness (for example, at [1] in the previous down-trend). If price falls through the first support level but respects the second, the trend is still intact. However, price is likely to advance at a sedate pace, with buyers and sellers more evenly matched.

When you have total intention to create something
- that is you deeply desire it,
you completely believe that you can do it,
and you are totally willing to have it
- it simply cannot fail to manifest,
and usually within a very short time.
