This week’s flash covers Brent, EUROSTOXX50, DAX and Nikkei 225.
The week’s open seemed to favor the bears, but by Friday’s close the technical picture is unchanged. Bull resilience on the indices, which show technical excess but hold near the highs, building the base for the break. Brent goes the other way: after weeks of attacks on the bear zone, a first clear sign of weakness arrives.

EUR/USD prints a large bullish candle clearing the MA50W, MA10W and MA20W in one shot. Brent is violently rejected from the weekly high with the range back above 23%, closing near the MA10W. Bitcoin moves back above the MA10W with the cross on the MA20W, but the range remains tight: the compression continues. The S&P 500 produced a textbook swing from the MA50W closing above the MA20W, recovering in one week the negativity of the previous three. The DAX loses momentum after the rally from the MA100W. The Nikkei 225 explodes with a massive bullish candle, comfortably surpassing the target from our Chart of the Week last week: all-time highs are now in sight.

This week’s flash covers EUR/USD, Brent Crude Oil, Gold, Silver, Bitcoin, S&P 500 and DAX. EUR/USD at its third consecutive week of testing and rejection from the MA50W, the attempt to recover the MA5W failed, the short remains intact. Brent, featured in our Chart of the Week last week, continues as an inside candle with volatility and range declining sharply but still elevated: the system remains short. Gold and Silver stay neutral, both with rising highs and lows but without a weekly price signal to justify re-entry. Bitcoin unchanged, compressed below the MA10W for the third consecutive week with a sharply contracting range. The S&P 500 closes short positions on loss of momentum, simultaneously recovering the MA50W and MA5W with one of the most extended bullish bodies in a year. The DAX confirms the long with nearly +900 points on the week, rising highs and lows and recovery of the MA5W.

This week's flash covers EUR/USD, Gold, Silver, Bitcoin, S&P 500 and DAX, a new addition. EUR/USD triggered a new short entry: the RJFP pattern has appeared for the first time since the late-2024 downtrend. Gold and Silver exited shorts on loss of bearish momentum and a record volatility spike, the highest our proprietary indicator has recorded since 2008. Bitcoin short remains intact inside a lateral range. The S&P 500 survived the week as an inside candle until Friday's crash broke the MA50W cleanly, surpassing the first target. DAX opens its first long trade of the year with a near-perfect reaction off the MA100W.
