#CAC40 #Gold #DOW Traditionally, we would consider producing some sort of absurd analysis for 1st April in homage to April Fools Day. However, about the best we hope for is a grinning Prime Minister saying “gotcha” on the pavement outside Downing St. Somehow, this appears as unlikely as our immediate positive outlook against the Dow Jones.
Following a truly confused day, the index managed to close at 21,927 points. It “only” needs above 22,480 to be viewed as entering a cycle to an initial 23,126 points with secondary, if exceeded, calculating up at 24,725 points. These numbers are supposed to be “Big Picture” scenario but thanks to the width of many recent daily movements, it would not take much for a day to go utterly crazy.
However, we have some doubts. As the chart inset highlights, the US market opted to pay homage to the Blue downtrend, ensuring the index failed to break upward. This being the case, it appears some reversal shall be on the cards.
Weakness now below 21,850 computes with an initial drop target at 21,606 points. If broken, secondary is at 21,406 points but importantly, the index shall find itself in a zone where a sharp reversal to 20,640 becomes painfully possible.
Always remember we are looking at The Dow only and NOT after-hours futures.
Finally, a lot has been said about Virus Tourists, these folk turning up at remote locations with Mobile Homes and Caravans, or in the case of Prince Charles, by private jet. Here in Argyll, Scotland, a new type of tourist has appeared. A few reasonably sized boats have dropped anchor in the bay, presumably fully stocked with toilet roll and booze as the occupants have not ventured ashore. To be fair, envy is the only emotion and hopefully, the weather remains calm for the occupiers.
