All the others, since 2023, have never given clear reversal signals at their crossings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sole negative element, from a strictly mathematical standpoint: the formation of lower highs and lower lows. This week&#8217;s high (45,926.36) is below the previous one (46,193.75), as is the low (45,378.08 vs 45,419.75). In a low-volatility context, this doesn&#8217;t carry much weight \u2014 but it exists.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>This minor negativity is technically cancelled by the hollow candle body: the close at 45,799.69 is above the open at 45,547.05.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Is that really enough to erase a hint of negativity?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Yes, statistically speaking. In recent years, every time the market printed a medium-to-long-term high and the following week produced lower highs and lower lows but with a close above the open, no reversal occurred. It doesn&#8217;t mean it can&#8217;t happen. It means betting that this time will be different is not statistically sound.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bullish Overextensions<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2016-FTSE-MIB-MA5W-overextension.png\" data-lbwps-width=\"1888\" data-lbwps-height=\"894\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2016-FTSE-MIB-MA5W-overextension-300x142.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-399\" src=\"https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2016-FTSE-MIB-MA5W-overextension-1024x485.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2016-FTSE-MIB-MA5W-overextension-1024x485.png 1024w, https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2016-FTSE-MIB-MA5W-overextension-300x142.png 300w, https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2016-FTSE-MIB-MA5W-overextension-768x364.png 768w, https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2016-FTSE-MIB-MA5W-overextension-1536x727.png 1536w, https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2016-FTSE-MIB-MA5W-overextension.png 1888w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\r\n<figcaption>chart: FTSE MIB MA5W overextension<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the fifth consecutive week with prices completely detached from the MA5W.

To find values this low, you have to go back to December 2023, when the accumulation phase that kicked off the multi-year rally came to an end.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Could a distribution phase with the same characteristics be underway? Yes, but the volatility element is missing. Typically, at the end of distribution, a first meaningful correction occurs, followed by a substantial bounce \u2014 which can even exceed the previous high \u2014 before opening the door to the real bear move.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>All theory for now.
