The big news was the election result with the UKIP surge - not totally unexpected but probably a thorn in the side of ConLabLib. It's all looking pretty bullish again after the wobble earlier last week, with the S&P 500 looking like reaching that 1919 and the FTSE 100 possibly nearing 6900.
Monday saw the S&P hold above the 1900 which is a goods sign for the bulls and that they have control, and also generating a few more positive headlines. There is a bit of an argy-bargy going on between China and Vietnam at the moment with China sinking a fishing boat in disputer waters.
FTSE Outlook
The FTSE 100 has popped above the 10 day Bianca, probably a little distorted by being closed yesterday. However, if the price can hold above 6840 then then the top of the 10 day Raff at 6860 looks a likely resistance level.
Today's pivot is 6811 so I expect any dips to find support around that level, possibly 6800. Above 6860, we have a more major ProTrend resistance line at 6877. But, we are just nudging the top of the a rising 30 minute channel.
It's always a little tricky to call after a bank holiday, but I think an initial rise off the back of the futures being fairly strong, dip, then further upside to 6860/6875.
I have plotted the arrows with the dip only going down to around the 200EMA on 30min at 6825, but as mentioned just now, the pivot at 6811 would likely act as support if it dipped lower. I think the S&P is going to go for that 1919 level I have mentioned a few times in recent weeks, so keep your eyes out for that.
Daily Raff Channels
Bianca Trends
Gold
Gold is still within that daily channel, with support at 1287 today, where it should bounce. If not then the bottom of that channel at 1282 is next support. All fairly flat, still.
S&P
As mentioned a few times I am fully expecting the S&P 500 to reach 1919 soon. Will it dip from around that level, and if so, how far? The top of the 20 day Raff is showing resistance there too so if the bears were to appear soon then that's a good a level as any. Might tally with FTSE all time highs at 6930?
For today initial resistance is 1908 then 1912, with bottom support quite far away at 1874. Initial support would most likely be the daily pivot at 1898. As with the FTSE, I expect more bull on this.
DAX
The daily pivot is 9869 for the DAX, so not too far below where we are as I write this, and a level likely to hold as support if the bulls can keep the rise going. Below that support is 9810 and 9775, the approximate area of the 10EMA on the daily chart.
Resistance today is 9985 (top of the 20 day Raff) and then the rather large 10000 - a good headline generation level to reach. It might even overshoot to 10050 where we have the top of the 10 day Raff. As with the others.... bullish!
