Along this week the Industrial Production and Inflation on several Member States will function as relevant indicators of the Euro zone.

In addition to the publication of economic data, investors will monitor the interventions of members of the ECB and European governments. Within the European Union there is no consensus on how to combat the economic downturn and the specter of deflation.

China’s economic indicators will also merit the attention of investors.

These moves are wild.
50 - 60 point swings in the dax.
Its gambling today.
Hope no one is too badly burned or even better has managed to squeeze hundreds of pips out of the madness.

Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.

There is a thing as too much volatility.

The only thing going on right now on Dow / S&P is the algos screwing over those people who went short too early.
Give it a 120 point retrace on Dow from the low then it will go lower again. Simples.

How low do you reckon it will go? Surely this is just a correction?

going by the H4 chart, dax has been in a downtrend since 19th sept, quite a strong support around 8684. would be grand if it tested it within the next hour or so

"Just a correction" would be 10%.

1,700 Dow points.

2014 low is just above 15300

 

[mike.]
