At exactly 9am this morning (4am in NY) either;
1. A bunch of insomniac traders decided to buy repeatedly all at the same time at mechanically regular intervals.
2. An algo buy programme switched on and forced then dow up tic by tic in a linear way.

I will let you decide.

Its still going on (its a TIC chart!!!).

If you complain to the police 100 times about 'real burglars' it doesnt make it ok to shoplift a packet of fags.

Relentless pressure building up on S&P / Dow.
Theyre going to burst through the ATH's

 

[postman]

I'm seeing 11,720 on the dax if DOW makes new high.

 

[postman]

You wouldnt think 10 points on the dow could be so difficult.

 

[f2calv]

You wouldnt think 10 points on the dow could be so difficult.

However a difficult 10 points on the ftse is quite normal :}

*I'm going to bang on about the ftse until someone shows some interest!

European indexes climb, reflecting the good performance of Wall Street and Mario Draghi’s words. Yesterday the ECB President reiterated the full support of the Central Bank to the European economy through its quantitative easing program, which will last as long as necessary. These comments are important for two reasons. The first is that dispels some concerns that had arisen that the ECB, given the improvement of the European economy could reduce this program. The second is that financial markets often need evidence to support their convictions.
