Mind Your Head - Bank Stress Test Leaves No Pain!

The US equity markets continue to look bullish and some are calling the Bears out for their final slaughter - The long awaited, delayed, and leaked Bank “Stress Test” hit the market with a whimper on Thursday.

The results - 10 of the19 “Too Big to Fail” banks will need about $75 Billion USD to shore up an estimated total of $599 Billion in losses.

S&P 500 Daily - as the chart above shows the 200 MA on the S&P 500 within tagging range - also note the previous years “Sell in May and Go Away” working quite well. Who’s getting ready to clock their profits and take off for the summer?

The Euro has been trending higher and a review of my posts of last week show the Head and Shoulder Pattern in play with an ultimate pattern target of 1.3750 only 100 pips away as of this writing - May 10th  - 22:30 EST

  

EUR-USD - The two charts above show last weeks post compared to where we are now. (click to enlarge charts) - Nice trend in play

Loonie Looms Large - Back to Parity?

The long consolidation on the USD-CAD that began back in October of 2008 is over! The Daily and 4 Hour charts posted here show a beautiful Head and Shoulder breakout with strong momentum to the downside.

  

USD-CAD The above charts from April 19 and Today May 11th show that there is potentially another 300 pips to go before the Head and Shoulder pattern plays out at around the 1.1200 range. (click to enlarge charts)
