India's
Sensex Index (weekly & daily)
encountered resistance from its 2007-2008 highs and the psychological 20,000
level. Recently, it fell swiftly to test the November and December lows near
the psychological 19,000 level, before bouncing today. A close beneath those
lows would now be required to indicate some additional mean reversion towards
the medium-term trend depicted by the rising 200-day moving average, before
extensive underlying support from the large range evident below 18,000 eventually
supports a resumption of the overall upward trend. A sustained move below 18,000
would be required to question this hypothesis.
Hong
Kong (weekly
& daily) has resumed its rebound
from the upper side of last year's broad trading range, following a brief consolidation.
A close beneath 23,480 would now be required to delay an additional rally towards
the November peak at the psychological 25,000 level. Some temporary resistance
can be anticipated in that region before underlying support sustains a resumption
of the medium-term uptrend.
Brazil
(weekly & daily)
was an upside leader following its November 2008 low but since regaining the
psychological 70,000 level has been rangebound over the last year. The recent
firmer tone suggests that an upside breakout may not be long delayed and this
pattern cannot possibly be a top formation while the Index remains above 66,950.
The
USA's S&P 500 Index (weekly &
daily) has maintained its global relative
strength since early December, and although becoming temporarily overextended
relative to the rising MA, a close beneath 1260 would now be required to check
short-term uptrend consistency beyond a short pause.
Palladium
(weekly & daily)
has surged to a new high for this uptrend since 4Q 2008 and a close beneath
$740 would now be required to check medium-term upside momentum by breaking
the progression of higher reaction lows. Platinum has been the leader among
precious metals since 4Q 2008.
Nickel
(weekly & daily)
has surged above lateral resistance since last October, following a length consolidation.
A close back beneath 24,000 would now be required to question scope for at least
a retest of the April-May highs near 27,690.
