HSBC: Currencies: Technical Analysis: Stocks close to tipping point.

Developed stock markets are increasingly vulnerable. In the USA, volume has been skewed to down issues since March and an internal bear market (when more than 50% of stocks in the NYSE trade below their 200 day moving average) is close to being confirmed. A bounce is due but as long as 1311 on the S&P 500 holds as resistance, the bear trend is on. 1.4732 EUR-USD is a critical resistance for the bearish technical case.
