Summary
re: weekly6: a notable blue candle, although yes, that didn't work out so great at the start of the month.
Re: monthly1b: as ever, a close under the 10MA will be rather important, currently @ 2021. As things are, equity bears will likely have to be content with the 2050/40s.
Sustained action <2040 looks unlikely in the near term. Sub 2K looks viable no earlier than mid May.

China market still struggling
The Shanghai comp' is currently lower by -1.9% for April...
With just 4 trading days left of the month, a close >3K looks unlikely, and that should concern the communists. There is viable downside to the 2300/2200s this June/July. The 'end of the world' doomers will need sub 2K, but right now that looks unlikely.
*I will cover the world markets in depth this coming weekend.
