Important developments in the weekly key reversal levels:

* Momentum (MoM) has turned down for US and Japanese stock indexes. To give you an idea, on average MoM changes direction every 6 bars, so 6 weeks for the weekly reversals. But it varies between 1 week and over 20 weeks.  So, with MoM now turning down for many stock indexes, an average 6 weeks of weakness (down or sideways) can be expected.

* For bonds (TLT) the weekly MoM is turning up. TLT is not far from its bullish reversal level at 106.56

*Oil has downward MoM again, continuing its bearish tendency.

Daily key reversal levels as of today:

Important developments in the daily key reversal levels:

* Stock markets stay above their daily bearish reversal levels, but MoM is still to the downside, so it is better to remain cautious at this point.

* Bonds (TLT) have broken above their bullish reversal level last Thursday. Next target to watch is the weekly bullish reversal level (see above).

* Gold has broken above its daily key reversal level as well. A positive development, but it is only a bear market rally unless it gets above the weekly key reversal level.

Our current key target zones (we use a +/-1% zone around these targets):

Key Targets Top1 Top2 Bottom1 Bottom2
Nasdaq 4200 4390 3530 3210
