Summary
The considerable bulls’ dominance with a break from awkward consolidation ended last week on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Green color was noticeable on every trading day past week. The demand side was strengthened by Triple Witching on Friday. The US index also performed well. The FED statement has been acknowledged by the markets as dovish. Information about the removal of the phrase about patience in increasing interest rates was balanced with ensuring that it does not mean impatience. Thus, the prospect of postponing interest rate hike has turned investors on to the stock market and the S&P500 index returned to fight for the historical highs. The German DAX made up for losses from earlier in the week on Friday. The reports about situation in Greece had positive impact in this case.

After a few weeks of consolidation, blue chips received a positive signal for the bulls. It is the breakout of downtrend line in the vicinity of 2350 points and opening the way to the resistance at 2460 points. Despite average volume, the signal is very positive. The index previously tried to break the downtrend line twice, in December and March. Each time the attempt was unsuccessful. The white marubozu candle on Thursday was supported by Friday’s increase and by overcoming several smaller resistances at the same time. The support is at the level of 2376 points and test of bulls’ strength would be the fight for defense of the growth gap between 2348-2352 points.

Interesting technical situation was noticeable on the Enea chart last week. Significant increases formed the relatively rare V formation with similar inclination angle of arms, which may be the forecast of trend change. The positive scenario would require overcoming the first downtrend line visible on the chart and breaking resistance at 16.65 PLN. The bulls dominance may herald a quick return to support levels near 15.50 PLN test.
