Index Focus – 23 June - 23 June 2015

European equities holding onto gains this morning while US futures taking a breather (though not weakening significantly) while the Eurogroup and Greece continue to thrash out ‘deal or default’ negotiations. Markets are confident (prior experience of 11th hour deal-striking holding down default fears, it would seem) as a convergence in the rhetoric of Athens and its creditors begins to materialise.

Gold duly suffering on a strengthening USD (testing  the upper bound of its rising channel) and as risk-offness pressures both safe haven and fixed income markets.

Where next?
  1. Will the index fall back towards support at 6625?
  2. Will the index rally on towards highs of 7065?

UK 100  is holding yesterday’s gains (in waiting mode?) at the upper bound of a rising channel and, a decisive break above which would put 6870 next on the cards. Note golden cross by 50- and 200-hour moving averages boosting bullish sentiment while resistance 6850 capping significant gains for the moment.

  2. Will the index fall back below support at 11,500?

Germany’s DAX also treading water between resistance 11,600 and support 11,500 having completed its bullish double-bottom reversal.  Will a second golden cross in as many weeks hold this time to confirm the transition to uptrend and return to 4-week highs 11,900?

The US Dow Jones has encountered resistance around 18,160 with potential bearish double top threatening to sink the index back down to lows 17,700. 2-week uptrend still in play, however, with further upside possible from a favourable outcome to Greek bailout talks this week (if favourable it is).

Where next?
