Now what?

The market may have reached momentum bottom last week, but a retest of the bottom and consolidation are likely for the next week or two before another counter trend rally can materialize with force.

Key Indices Assessment

Monthly – bearish (straight down MA10, closed below MA50), not quite oversold yet; but may bottom-fish because of uprising MA50

Weekly – the bottom might be in, but more volatile side-way chopping expected.
** MA—all closed below MA10, but they are flattening or turning up; MA50 all solidly trending down
** MACD/histogram: neutral, either way
** Candle formation: indecisive with huge up/down shadows with slightly bullish white bodies

Daily – rally facing formidable resistance
** MA—short-term MA in bearish order; all closed above flattening/curing up MA10s; all failed MA50
** Candle formations—clearly bearish despite of Friday’s historic volumes.
** Stochastic/RSI all favor more near-term upside; MACD Hist still negative;
** Lots of overhead resistance, the gap will be filled soon.
** QQQQ is the weakest of all, facing formidable resistance zone from 44-46, with MA50 around 45.2.

US$– more downside to MA50 around 76 likely before resuming uptrend?
Weekly— key resistance around 80 in play; MA10=76 and MACD/histogram bullish; stochastic points to overbought pullback in early stage
Daily-- recently reversed long term trend still intact; MA10=79, increasing MACD histogram, stochastic all suggestion more downside; but RSI2 in oversold; a test near the previous consolidate zone and MA50 (76-77) inevitable.

VIX—consolidation going forward
Weekly—more upside likely as every indicator except RSI2 are bullish.
Daily—parabolic ascending in correction, some pullback/sideway movement likely in near future.
