[Last weekly analysis]. In this week, the market bounced back up sharply on the good news and then ended with another red candle. Compare with the last week, the loss is not too much, however the trend is still pointing down. Today marks the end of first month in 2009, see how bad the situation is on the monthly chart. Do you really believe this is a trend reversal pattern? Think again.

No update to the P&F chart.
The market went much higher than the estimation made in the last week based on the hourly chart. On the next chart, it seems the market should take a rest to let the moving averages catch up.
XLF and SKF
The dead cat's rebound turned out to be massive and almost killed SKF, the outlook on SKF was correct. The signal on SKF was a buy however I overlooked it. New trend has started, the game on SKF is buy on dip again.
Forex
USD/CAD: no update
USD/SGD: a pullback is due.
EUR/USD: Down trend is not finished yet although a weak rebound might happen soon.
Commodities
GOLD: on the very long time frame, gold looks trending up.
On the daily chart, the ascending channel is still valid, and it has broken out. So we have to respect the uptrend.
Crude oil: technically oil is deeply oversold even on the monthly chart. Over the short term there is no trend and it can break out at either direction.
