Equities in the red accelerating their sell-off from late yesterday as we move into what is being billed as the last weekend for Greece to present acceptable reforms to its Creditors to unlock the bailout-avoiding funds it desperately requires. While another last-minute weekend agreement would surely mean a relief rally come Monday, continued stubbornness on both sides could equally take us into uncharted default/euro-exit territory and the accompanying uncertainty send markets lower.
UK Index now below 200-day moving average 6744. DAX back at 11400 support below ceiling of larger down-channel. Dow sitting the middle of 1-month range while Gold continues to languish around $1170, failing to benefit from safehaven demand despite Greece being on the cup of default.
UK 100 on the back foot again today having found resistance again at 6875. Declines have come as far as the 200-day moving average 6744. Could a pause here and Greek inspired relief rally deliver the second shoulder of the bullish reverse head & shoulders bottom pattern which has been forming though June?, with upside to April all-time highs 7127.

Little change on Germany’s DAX as it pauses around 11400-11600 at the ceiling of the 3-month falling channel at 11600. This could provide platform for a push higher via a bullish flag pattern but the channel needs to be breached. Equally, we could revisit platform floor if Greece fails to strike a deal.
