A close below will further confirm down trend. AEX is likely to test the 0.382 retracement at around 691 where the three SMA’s 55,100 and 200 will offer support.
If AEX moves below the three SMA’s it is likely to drop to strong support at around 661-654.

BEL20 broke bearish out of the rising channel to close below support at 3,670. Buyers lift the Index back above today could prove to be short-loved. If BEL20 takes out Fridays low at 3,639 it is likely to be hit by a sell-.off down to 3,569 and strong support at 3,497
