Important developments in the weekly key reversal levels:
* Stock market weakness that started showing up a few weeks ago is continuing. Weekly MoM remains down for most indexes, and some markets are coming close to their weekly key reversal levels. At this point it is only a pullback, but if weekly key reversal levels get broken to the downside it marks the start of a bear market or at least a more prolonged correction.
* Bonds (TLT) have turned bullish.

Important developments in the daily key reversal levels:
* All covered stock indexes have broken below their daily key reversal levels and are now in declining mode. Whether this will be yet another brief pullback or turn into something bigger remains to be seen. As long as MoM is to the downside there is no reason to buy.
* Bonds (TLT) and gold are continuing their recent rally.
* $EURUSD and Crude Oil are back into rally mode.

Important developments last week:
* A new Bottom1 target for Nikkei at 13860
* Stock indexes tested their Top1 targets and failed to break above them. This is their second failure, so now we get a move to the downside. We can start watching for the Bottom1 targets to be tested in some markets.
* For gold, oil, Euro and bonds we can now set sights on their Top1 targets.
