Comments on the key levels for this week :
* Little change in our weekly key levels for major stock indexes. For Nikkei we have MoM turning down, which indicates a continuation of bearish mode, now in its 8th week.
* On the daily level the Nasdaq and Nikkei remain in bearish mode, while the DAX is back to fully bullish. The FTSE100 is once again stagnating near its Top1 target at 6800.
* In other world markets Hong Kong is turning bearish on the weekly level.
* Gold tried to go into rally mode, but quickly dropped back and ended the week barely above its weekly key reversal level. A weekly close below $1280.53 would turn this market fully bearish again.
* The Euro also tried to break out to the upside and was pushed back immediately, ending the week just above its key reversal level. As we have been telling for weeks, the next major move of the Euro will also decide the next move in several other markets like gold. So, we keep watching.
* Our weekly key reversal levels for the 30 Dow stocks are available here. 24 stocks are bullish this week, up from 23 last week. Above 20 is healthy, see : Keeping an eye on the Dow stocks.
