Important developments in the weekly key reversal levels:
* Covered stock indexes continue to be bullish on the weekly level. Weekly MoM remains to the upside, with the exception of Nikkei.
* Bonds (TLT) seem to have missed the chance to go into bullish mode. Weekly MoM is still positive, but time is running out and a continuation of the bear market is becoming increasingly likely.
* For gold we see weekly MoM turning back down again this week. Gold hasn’t been able to climb above its weekly key reversal level and the bear market continues. Patience required.
* The EURUSD continues to weaken as well. It is coming very close to testing its key reversal level at 1.3288.

Important developments in the daily key reversal levels:
* Daily momentum (MoM) continues to go down for all covered stock indexes. Most markets (except Nikkei) have kept above their key reversal levels, so they remain in rally mode but we have to monitor ongoing developments closely.
* Bonds (TLT) are in declining mode and no signs of the MoM indicator turning up.
* Gold has fallen below its daily key reversal level last week and is now in declining mode again. Too early to buy.
* $EURUSD continues to sink and its momentum remains down.
* Oil (CL) has stabilized near our bottom target at $94 and the daily MoM is turning up from a very depressed level. That makes oil a speculative buy at this point, but a further drop towards $89 cannot be ruled out, so I wouldn’t risk more than $1/barrel on it.
Lastly, the key target zones (we use a +/-1% zone around these targets):
| Key Targets | Top | Top2 | Bottom | Bottom2 |
| Nasdaq | 3975 | 4200 | 3530 | 3210 |
| S&P 500 | 1799 | 1820 | 1576 | 1522 |
| Nikkei | 15850 | 16580 | 12710 | 10450 |
| FTSE 100 | 6800 | 7150 | 6205 | 6110 |
| DAX | 9310 | 9480 | 7870 | 7210 |
| Bonds (TLT) | 111.80 | 128.50 | 102 | 96.25 |
| Gold (spot) | 1448 | 1540 | 1215 | 1078 |
| EURUSD | 1.3950 | 1.42 * | 1.2870 | 1.2350 |
| Crude Oil(CL) | 109.40 | 121 | 94.30 | 89.50 |
(* = new target )

Important developments last week:
* There is a new top target for $EURUSD at 1.42.
* The Nasdaq continues to push into its 3930-3975 top target. A second or third attempt is often successful. If it breaks out to the upside then start watching for 4200.
* Bonds (TLT) are close to testing their long standing bottom target at 102 again. That bottom held in August-September, but on a third attempt it is likely to give way. If so, we will start looking for 96.25
* In the gold market we can set sights on the first bottom target near $1215.
* Oil has survived the first test of its $94.30 bottom target.
