Overall Daily Theme
Today's charts suggest a risk-off rotation compared with earlier in the week. The Nasdaq remains the strongest index and is still technically bullish, but the FTSE and Gold are showing clear deterioration. If I were choosing only one index to trade today, I would still favour Nasdaq longs on dips and Gold shorts on rallies.
Good luck today and have a great weekend!
