​​​Dow stronger in wake of Fed decision ​

The index’s rally was given fresh impetus by the Fed decision last night, which saw a more balanced outlook from Jerome Powell. ​ ​The index has climbed to its highest level in two weeks, continuing its rebound from the lower low. The next target is the 200-day SMA, followed up by the 34,000 level. ​ ​Sellers will need a reversal back below 33,000 to negate the short-term bullish view.

​Nasdaq 100 rebound goes on ​

The rally in this index gathered pace yesterday too. The upper bound of the current descending channel now comes into play as a potential near-term target. ​ ​Beyond this the early October high at 15,330 comes into view. This would then see the price back above the 50- and 100-day SMAs helping to revive the medium-term bullish view. ​ ​A reversal back below 14,500 cancels out this view for now. ​

​CAC40 sees fresh gains

​A solid rebound continues here, though from a lower low within the context of a broader downtrend from the July highs. ​ ​Further gains target the 7170 area that marked resistance in late September and was previously support in late August. ​ ​A failure to break above 7170 could mark a short-term top, and indeed a reversal below 7100 could also result in fresh selling pressure developing.
