Nothing really to report here.
US Equity Markets: Bullish but watch those Pivot levels. Trend Oscillators are overbought, and Pivot Lows are close by. It was a small-ranged week and for a lot of the indices it qualifies as an NR7 pattern in weekly charts, which suggests a large movement - up or down !
Non US Equity Markets: Japan failed to confirm the US Equity market high, so it should be watched as it appears technically the weakest of the group.

Bond Yields: These are saying up, but we have been whipping in a sideways movement for a while, so I am not taking these to seriously unless we see continued follow through.
USD: IT_TrendOscillators are o/bt relative to the LT downtrend. Although signals are IT Bullish that reversal on Friday was serious, and I should have reduced my CHF short at 1.3800 and EUR at 1.1400. (This is the reason why I put the flag signal). Any dollar rally over the next few days should be used as an excuse to trim USD longs as I believe that we will mill withing the $USD 91 - 94/5 range for some time, so reducing USD longs at the 94 level is prudent. The 93-00 to 92-75 level is good dollar support so I would not be in a rush to get rid of all USD long holdings in a rush after what was a large one day move. I still think that we are basing while LT signals turn to bullish.
Precious Metal Complex: We are not yet o/sold on the IT timeframe, but these are showing quite bullish short-term patterns. I will remain bearish these, but do see things that look good in the short term. I believe more time is needed for any bullish pattern to emerge here, though The Metals look better than The Stocks.
Summary: There were strong sell-the-news reversals in all these groups on Friday. Short-term we were at o/sold or o/bt levels that had been developing over the past 2 weeks. It is this synchronised turn that has sent the spider sense tingling. Though the ST picture may have stalled, or reversed, the IT picture has not, so all I can do is note it, pay attention and take small positions.
IMO the things to watch for are: i) Follow through to the big dollar reversal. ii) Precious metals PM metals resilience despite that of the stocks. (I am skeptical that we see a Precious Metal revival here and consider this a sign of bullish sentiment, but signals are signals)
