Summary: AEX25/NEHT25 struggling to break strong resistance. BEL20/BELG20 could resume downtrend. CAC40/FRA40 uptrend strong and could continue higher
AEX25 is struggling to close above strong resistance and 0.786 retracement at around 763.40. A close above is likely to push the Index to 777 possibly higher.
RSI is positive suggesting AEX will move higher. However, if AEX closes below 753 a correction dow to around 747-732 should be expected.
NETH25 cfd. Resistance at 765 sems hard to penetrate. A close above is likely to push Index above February peak at 777.
A close below 753 is likely to initiate a correction down to 743
BEL20 Uptrend is intact but a correction could be looming. Index rejected just short of the 0.786 retracement and if BEL20 closes below 3,790 a downwards move to 3,735-3,690 could be seen.
Indicators are indecisive; RSI is showing positive sentiment and the 100 daily Moving Average is rising but the 55 daily Moving Average is declining, BEL20 needs to break above 3,864 to regain upside momentum.
BELG20 cfd: Rejected at the 0.786 retracement . If breaking below 3,780 bear trend likely to resume. Support at 3,735. And 3,700.
A close above 3,857 uptrend is likely to extend to 3,953
CAC40 is fast approaching the 1.382 projection at 7,632. (Largely driven by LMHV btw). No RSI divergence indicates higher Index levels are likely. However a correction after reaching the 1.382 projection should be expected but for CAC to reverse the uptrend a close below 7,300 is needed.
CAC40 could reach the 1.618 projection at around 7,775 going in to May.
FRA40 cfd: Uptrend could extend to 1.681 projection at around 7,777. Uptrend intact unless a close below 7,299.
A new fragmented world order can render some of today's infrastructure obselete, but it also calls for massive new investments across the globe, which requires a new set of strategic and tactical investment strategies.

As globalisation turns to fragmentation, China seems set on playing a role in the global economy, while simultaneously working towards proofing its own economic situation from external shocks and crises.

The recent bank runs and ensuing challenges are reminicent of something we've seen before. Will it end like the S&L crises of 1986 and 1995?
