i see market forces pulling in different directions
us housing market are now picking up strongly, and that will affect industry in many areas as well as sending out encouraging signals across the world
on the other side, apart from the usual mish-mash of unrest, minor wars etc in various parts of the world, contradictory economic signals keep coming from china (i think japan is far less important)
then we have the the markets that have already enjoyed a headlong rush north and could/should be set for a sharp correction, arguably triggered by the traditional "sell in may" syndrome

i mentioned it yesterday on the FTSE thread ......
if you're a smart and alert cookie (unlike me in the last few days!) there's a lot of money to be made especially in trading Dow .... that particular index has made the apocryphal whore look positively restrained!

Morning cyners. Difficult looking at the charts both here and in the US where support is in this market with it having gone on such a sustained more or less uphill bull run.
Ultimately the DOW and SPX will lead the way.
Short term the SPX has support around the 1635 area. The Dow has support around the 15.200 mark.
The FTSE as you can see below looking at FIB retrace level 1 38% off high.... around 6580.
Moving averages arent or havent held up.
Conclusion
Flip a coin and hope it doesnt fall down a drain.

Had another look in detail at the FTSE..... Looks to me like we may be entering a channel on the FTSE between 6600 and 6825 and could trade within for a few weeks before breaking out (after the rest) to the upside. (edited, cheers skinny)

FTSE futures at moment 6545..........well outside my 6600 to 6825 channel.
Was this the last sell off on the DOW tonight.?????????
Im hoping so because its going on now for a 5% pullback, anymore and this is far more serious.

DOW
around 14750 is a possibility - currently 15110, so not that far
will prob put a stop on my current short in case there's a sharp bounce
FTSE
6550 is prob not a bad buying level
===============
it seems to me that uk is in a somewhat strange position
unemployment is arguably/probably falling from its current 7.8% (or thereabouts) and is certainly massively lower than in the eurozone where it stands at around 22/23%
uk economy is starting to pick, though there is an inevitable considerable timelag before that and its accompanying feelgood factor feeds through to populace at large
on the other hand, eurozone (to me) looks to be still deep in the mire which is a concern as this is uk's traditional strongest market
uk housing starts and sales are at last on the way back up, and that will benefit not only the general economy, but also certain share sectors
june is likely to see an £15bn structural development plan put out, though how long those projects will take to get off the starting line is another matter
£ will almost certainly continue its slide against $, though € which i have long thought to preposterously o'valued, should slide against £ and will certainly fall against $

on balance, i don't think dow's fall on friday night was any more than computer generated profit-taking on the last trading day of the month ..... if i can pay attention (difficult for this dotard), then i think there'll be money to be made on both dow and ftse long

confess i HATE the product and would never ever fly with them if i could possibly help it..... imo they're just a bunch of rip-off artists, exceeded only by Ryanair, and i have heard of almost no one who would disagree with that summation ..... that being so, would never ever invest in the company

IG Index have put their minimum deposit and receivable to £100 this monday.
They only changed it about 3 months back to £25 from I think a fiver.
Used to like the fact that I could deposit low amounts in order to tidy up the account for spreadsheets etc.
I have another S bet CFD account with Berensberg but they dont cover in the market so charges are a lot higher.
Anyone recommend another S Bet company???.

personally, i like SG a lot ..... i find their L2 platform very effective and their staff invariably easy to talk to ...... the IG internet site also gives intelligent comment, especially on the markets

"IG" - agree - I also use CMC and find their revised platform very intuitive.
