…2009 was postponed at the beginning of this year, by the major resistance at 626 points, overflowed, and then reintegrated. The prices declined towards the major support at 528.80 points which caused a sharp rebound. We are bullish in the medium-term, anticipating a return to contact the previous peaks in the coming weeks.

Anticipation :

In the short-term, prices have just exited from the top of a descending channel, in which they evolved since the beginning of April. The 50-day moving average, which previously played the role of a dynamic resistance, is also overflowed. These elements therefore argue in favor of the extension of the current bullish acceleration for the next sessions.

We are short-term positive and envision a rally towards the resistance at 610 points (theoretical target of the pattern – blue arrows), with an intermediate target of 583.60 points.

We set the invalidation threshold for this positive scenario slightly below the support at 558 points.

Follow-up Analysys: Our DBD Tracker dated 27/06/2011 recommended the purchase of the STOXX Europe 600 Health Care Index. Since then, our intermediate target at 401.54 points has been reached and overflowed, a performance of 2%.
