Market talk

US indices continue to push to lower levels. After the recent slide in prices of the S&P 500 the recovery had ended just below the 50- moving average based on the weekly chart. Will hence the current selloff gear up more momentum? As US markets remain rather expensive the current negative move might be due to continue. In contradiction the German DAX remains stable and might move higher if a trigger can be found. Similarly also European shares remain well- bid and also the AUDUSD continues to push higher. The massive candlestick pattern based on the monthly chart might offer positive momentum, should it find a close towards the month- end. Te current bear market might find an end anytime soon, unless further negative headlines continue to pull markets lower.
