Summary

By the the close of today, rising support will be 1990, so.. the bulls need a close above that.

Another push to the 200dma looks likely... and that will be around 2022 across this week.

Regardless of today though, what next matters is whether the ECB/Draghi can placate the market enough this Thursday.

Clearly, having ramped from sp'1810 to 2009, the market will be looking for an excuse for at least a minor retrace.
