- The STOXX Europe 50 Index looks below 4,378.64 (3 day Simple Moving Average) as signpost for new negative trend
After a 13 day of trading sideways Yesterday's session suggests a further slow down: after finishing Friday at 4,362.38, the STOXX Europe 50 Index went up to 4,365.23 before paring its losses and closing at 4,342.
The index has been trending positively for about 3 months. The STOXX Europe 50 Index hit a significant low of 3,279 around 8 months ago, but has since recovered 33.04%.
EuroSTOXX made an initial break below its 3 day Simple Moving Average at 4,378.64, a possible indication of a forthcoming negative trend. The STOXX Europe 50 Index's upper Bollinger Band® is at 4,406 which indicates a further downward move may follow. Despite this, the STOXX Europe 50 Index could begin to recover as it approaches significant support, now 6.41 points away from 4,348.54. Dipping below could be an indication that further losses are ahead.
