The overall state of the market is best summed up by the monthly chart of the Dow Industrial Average. After testing resistance at the previous high of 11600, the average has pulled back to test support at 10700. A close below this level would signal a primary down-trend, while a close above the recent highs of 11250/11300 would signal another test of 11600 and a possible breakout to a new high.

Short-term support sits at 11050 and resistance at 11250/11300. Twiggs Money Flow (21-day) remains well below zero, signaling distribution.

The Nasdaq 100 is consolidating in a narrow range below 1520. A close below 1480 would be bearish, while a close below 1450 would confirm the down-trend. No sharp move has developed after the downward breakout, so reversal above 1520 would be just as likely -- if Twiggs Money Flow (21-day) was not signaling strong distribution.

The S&P 500 displays a similar pattern to the Dow, with short-term resistance at 1280/1290 and support at 1260. Twiggs Money Flow (21-day) below zero signals distribution, warning of another test of primary support at 1220. 

Gold

Spot gold made a downward breakout from a large symmetrical triangle, with a target of $450 (630 - (730 - 550)). A close below support at $600 would confirm the signal, but beware of reversal if the dollar weakens.

Currencies

Contrary to expectations, the US Dollar Index has strengthened since the recent pause in rate hikes, but the intermediate trend remains downward. Reversal below recent support at 84.50 would confirm another test of major support at 83.50 -- and gold would be likely to rally.

United Kingdom

The FTSE 100 appears to have respected support at 5800 -- confirmed if there is a close above 5900. Twiggs Money Flow (21-day) is trending upwards, signaling accumulation. 

Japan

The Nikkei 225 broke through resistance at 15700, signaling the start of an up-trend that should test the earlier high of 17500. Tuesday has remained flat, but as long as the index remains above the new 15700 support level, the trend looks positive.

ASX Australia

The All Ordinaries consolidation has shifted slightly, ranging between 4900 and 5000. As duration of the consolidation lengthens, the direction of the breakout increases in significance. A close above 5000 would be bullish, while a close below 4900 would mean a test of primary support at 4800. Twiggs Money Flow (21-day) appears to be edging higher, but remains uncertain.
