Index Focus – 27 May - 27 May 2015

Equity markets found some support after yesterday’s Greek debt, Spanish politics and USD strength-inspired sell-off. While uncertainty remains mid-week, UK Index  and Wall St found support at 100-day MAs, and trying to get back to 7000 and 18100, respectively, however, DAX remains under pressure at 11600 with its bounce having already retraced. Gold benefited from March rising lows kicking in at $1185, although still in a downtrend from mid-May , hampered by strong USD.

Where next?
  1. Will the index rise towards highs of 7127? or;
  2. Will the index fall towards lows of 6670?

UK 100 bounced back from sharp test lower. Support via 100-day MA. April rising lows and falling highs in competition. Which will prevail? Converging triangle to serve as continuation pattern for existing uptrend?

Where next?
  1. Will Gold rise towards highs of $1233? or;
  2. Will Gold fall towards lows of $1143?

Gold found support at March rising lows which could serve as platform for recovery to recent highs, but the safehaven is still contending with an ever strengthening USD which is hindering demand. Trading below major moving averages. Beware fall highs from mid-May, which could cap any relief rally at $1200.

Possible support

Possible resistance

  • Trend: Sideways
  • Potential support: 1185, 1180, 1170
