The S&P 500 found short-term support at 2050, but declining 21-day Twiggs Money Flow indicates medium-term selling pressure. Breach of support would signal a correction to test the band of primary support between 1970 and 2000. Recovery above 2080 is less likely at present, but would indicate another test of 2120.
* Target calculation: 2100 + ( 2100 - 2000 ) = 2200
Long-term, the S&P 500 remains bullish and CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) continues to indicate low risk typical of a bull market.
Dow Jones Industrial Average also retreated and is testing medium-term support at 17500/17600 on the weekly chart. Declining 13-week Twiggs Money Flow indicates moderate selling pressure. Breach of 17500 would test primary support at 17000, while recovery above 18000 would signal another primary advance — confirmed if there is follow-through above 18300.
* Target calculation: 18000 + ( 18000 - 17000 ) = 19000
Europe
Germany's DAX encountered resistance at 12000, but selling pressure looks weak. Rising 13-week Twiggs Money Flow indicates long-term buying pressure. Expect support at 11500. Recovery above 12000 would suggest an advance to 12500*.
* Target calculation: 10000 + ( 10000 - 7500 ) = 12500
The Footsie retreated from 7000. Declining 13-Week Twiggs Money Flow indicates medium-term selling pressure. Breach of support at 6700 would warn of a correction to test primary support at 6150/6200, while respect of support at 6700 would be a bullish sign. Breakout above 7000 would offer a long-term target of 8000*.
* Target calculation: 7000 + ( 7000 - 6000 ) = 8000
Asia
China's Shanghai Composite Index continues its primary advance. Recovery of 13-week Twiggs Money Flow above its descending trendline strengthens the signal. Retracement to test the new support level at 3400 remains likely, but expected to be weak.
* Target calculation: 3400 + ( 3400 - 2400 ) = 4400
Japan's Nikkei 225 Index is retracing. Breach of support at 19000 would signal a correction to test 18000, but respect is more likely and recovery above 19500 would indicate another attempt at the long-term target of 20000*. Rising 13-week Twiggs Momentum indicates long-term buying pressure.
* Target calculation: 18000 + ( 18000 - 16000 ) = 20000
India's Sensex is faltering at resistance at 30000. Reversal of 13-week Twiggs Money Flow below zero warns of strong selling pressure. Breach of primary support at 26500/27000 would signal a reversal. Respect of the primary trendline, however, would establish a sound base for further advances.
Australia
The ASX 200 continues to hesitate at 6000. Declining 13-week Twiggs Money Flow indicates moderate (medium-term) selling pressure. Reversal below 5750 is unlikely, but would warn of a correction to 5500. Breakout above 6000 would offer a (medium-term) target of 6250*.
* Target calculation: 6000 + ( 6000 - 5750 ) = 6250
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.
