It stands to reason that bond yields have given back some of the gains made yesterday and I can’t help thinking were in ‘treading water’ mode in stocks. I know some of you have been looking at the S&P but looking at a couple of European charts it’s looking like there’s some good short setups forming.

There’s some scope for shorts against those upper levels and I particularly like the FTSE chart. It might be a bit ‘dick for a tick-ish’ but I like the look of a sell at the FTSE highs around 6880. I’m going to leave it until Monday then might scale in shorts.
