Early in Thursday’s session there was a rejected probe of the v minor (4day) poc at 3264.50, see previous highlighted comments. On Friday ES tested 3202.50, First Level Support, but the Value Area was generated entirely above that level. As I wrote Thursday, price printing time below 3264.50 would be a first sign of weakness.
Key charts
FTSE 100: recent multiple rejections in June/July at 6312 (1/2R Resistance off last year’s high). This indicated weakness and FTSE sold off last week. Bulls would want to see that level recovered asap.
DAX: the 4yr is at 12240. Currently DAX prints well above that level in a strong position. Last week printed its highest level since February but sold off at end of week.
Sentiment: My version of the Rydex Assets Ratio ended the week at 12.1. Previous week the ratio reached 12.96, the highet since 5th May. The ratio fell to 3.35 on 03/17, the lowest since early 2016. The ratio reached 28.62 on 12/27, the highest reading in my database.
