Weekly Technical Comments – “Short Term, Sell into Strength, Medium Term, Weekly S&P Sell Signal Triggered”.

As expected, we have seen a decent bounce from the report two weeks ago but no key levels have been broken here. The bounce has been swift but narrow with a new higher high in very few sectors though inc US finance, ( US Oil & Gas is very close) and in Europe only travel …

Weekly Multi Market Technical Comments – “Set Up For The Deflationary Trade”

Weekly Technical Comments – “S&P500 Consolidating but Final Top Still Missing”

The Swiss team put in a solid report below.

Weekly Technical Comments – “Materials Breakout & Buy Bullion in next 5 to 10 Trading Sessions”

The Swiss team have re-grouped and come back fighting.  They didn’t get the pull back their models suggested. It has taken a month or so for them to really digest/accept this and re-set. We all learn by the rod here that you can’t get stubborn on these things. We are all paid on price and …
