FTSE 100 sees fresh momentum

A solid defence of 7600 last week helped the FTSE 100 to recover from its first meaningful pullback in weeks.

The next major targets come in at 7800 and then the all-time high at 7903. It would take a move back below 7600 to suggest that a more bearish view is developing. Otherwise, intraday dips remain opportunities to add to positions.

DAX finds news strength

The DAX has recovered from the lows of last week, and now is looking to challenge the short-term downtrend from the recent high.

Above 12,830 the index targets 12,953 and then 13,208. Potential support is to be found around 12,742 and then 12,663. Having risen relentlessly from the Thursday low, around 12,550, some weakness is to be expected, but as long as this holds above 12,650 it looks like another buying opportunity.

S&P 500 looks to break 2740

After a dip below 2700 last week, the S&P 500 has recovered and is now poised to challenge the 2740 area that has held back progress since early May.

Above here, 2789 and then 2802 are the targets to watch. Dips towards 2720 may find support, with the index in a steady uptrend from the lows of last Thursday.
