Observation	The Sand P 500 and the Nifty were up last week. Indicators are bullish. The Vix is back in complacency mode and transports are flashing warning signs. We are entering a weak period for risk assets globally and declines are likely in both indices in the upcoming months following this bounce.
On the Horizon	China GDP data, ECB and Canada rate decisions, Canada CPI.
*Nifty	India’s Benchmark Stock Market Index
Raw Data	Courtesy Google finance, Stock charts, FXCM
**Neutral	Changes less than 0.5% are considered neutral

The markets rallied last week. Signals are marginally bullish for the upcoming week and this bounce is on the verge of completion. The S and P 500 and several global indices have completed massive bear flags which should resolve to the downside. The markets are expected to encounter resistance at higher levels on any bounces, with the 2035-2045 zone on the S and P 500 acting as major resistance. There will be more downside upcoming in the #Nifty and the S and P 500, with at least a retest of the lows for the S and P 500 near 1867 and Nifty near 7550 in the upcoming months. You can check out last weeks report for a comparison. You can also check out snapshots of the S and P 500 and Nifty Indices. Love your thoughts and feedback.
