A very quiet day again with the market popping higher. Chart patterns on the XJO are quite interesting and point to some near term strength, maybe even a retest of the recent major highs.

The market was dragged lower by the banking sector after news that one of the largest rights issues ever will be placed in the UK. The banking sector was already vulnerable because of the ‘sell banks, buy resources’ switch that we’ve mentioned over the last few weeks. From the early highs the market dropped 78-points [...]
