Friday 14 May

Markets are very nervous ... Asian markets sold off overnight and European stocks look set to do the same.  The dollar and yen rally look set to continue.
Every bounce in Euro seems to get sold and the UK  election euphoria has worn off and sterling is sold even harder than EUR.
Having said all that I would not be surprised to see 1150 hold in the S+P and a rally in US stocks to end the week.  The sentiment seems overly bearish and that level is very sticky.  If it doesn't hold look out below.
Either way we look set to close the week with a lot of inside bars after last weeks flash crash.
The EUR looks set to be the only one to break last weeks low but I guess a trillion dollars does not buy you much bounce these days.
If there are no bounces I will be selling breaks of support today.

  3. Crude has me confounded a bit. It is very weak but hard to sell after such a big drop with no correction. It's very risk sensitive now so I think will follow equities. I might stay out today and will wait for next week unless we have another flash crash
