This Indicator at a Crossroads As to Direction of Future Global Growth

The Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite (SSEC) index is at a crucial crossroads with serious implications as to whether or not slower global growth is at hand. Take a look at where it currently is and continue to watch closely in the days ahead.


So says Chris Kimble (http://blog.kimblechartingsolutions.com) in edited excerpts from his post* entitled Shanghai index forming a very bullish pattern?

Kimble goes on to say, in part:

The worlds markets NEED the SSEC index to push higher from here.  A break of support line (1) would reflect that the bullish pattern failed and send a signal that slower global growth is at hand!
