Start of new downtrend


Hello,

stock markets made strong reversal from important resistance levels during last week

Technically speaking resistance area of 200SMA worked well.
Richard Koza

Compared to my last newsletter I have to say that situation changed my view to "sell" in Dow Jones and SP500 indexes area. Nasdaq is in slightly better shape so technology area is more neutral in my view.

My short trades, I initiated during last two weeks in these indexes, are working well and I plan to add if  stock markets will confirm my analysis. This analysis tells me that we are on the beginning of new downtrend move into new lows for this year.

If you trade also European markets, check DAX (German stock index) and IBEX (Spanish stock index) They are also very weak and and I am shorting these two indexes too.

Oil is still approaching new highs. It looks little bit overextended for me but I do not see any technical signals for reversal. I do not want to enter any trade - long or short - in oil futures or ETF. I feel it very risky now.

Happy trading,

Richard
