US Stocks markets were set for a bounce after 2 weeks of falls and the gains today proved sufficient to wipe out all of last week's declines.

ICAP the world's largest interbank broker across financial markets, said first-half pre-tax profit rose 47 percent on turnover up 31 percent to 407.7 million. and said it expected a continued strong performance in the second half.

Tesco Plc The UK's biggest supermarket chain delivered a forecast-beating rise in third-quarter sales to 6.9 percent in the 14 weeks to November 15.as strong demand for its budget clothes helped it to continue to outshine its rivals.

Enterprise Inns One of Britain's biggest pub operators reported a 51 percent jump in annual profits to 173.2 million pounds just above analyst forecasts and added that its new financial year had started well.

Jarvis CEO resigns as expected

TBI British regional airports operator posted a sharp fall in first-half pre-tax profit to 7.2 million pounds down from 15 million pounds last year.after writing down the book value of its struggling airport service business in North America.

New Look Group British women's fashion chain reported a fall in same-store sales in the first eight weeks of the second-half on Tuesday, as it posted a 7.3 percent rise in first-half profits to 48.2 million pounds. The firm, which has received a bid approach by its founder Tom Singh, said UK like-for-like sales in the eight weeks to November 22 fell 0.8 percent on the year-ago period and gross margins were down 1.9 percentage points.

De La Rue the world's biggest non-government printer of banknotes, posted a slight rise in first-half profits to 19.7 million pounds and said it expected favourable conditions to continue into the second half. It announced an interim dividend of 4.4 pence, unchanged from last year.

draw?movingAverageString=60&startDate=01

I've mentioned the 60 day ma before.
Above is a chart that is clearly showing the FTSE using
it as the bottom support line of a trend channel circa 4280.

If you extrapolate the peaks you get resistance circa 4420.

With light trading expected due short US trading week, I'm
not expecting any trend breaks unless there is bad news.

However, low volume can often give high intraday volatility.
So what I will be looking for is to sell stocks or the index
circa 4400 for trend down as Bulls take profits and Bears
open shorts.

Reverse this process if a trend develops in the other direction
from 4300.

Knowing my luck we'll probably just pivot aimlessly around
the middle for the rest of the week.

Just a view, but as I've said before, to take a position you
need a reason and a plan, and to formulate a plan you need
a view.
