Euro dropping under 1.30, dragging down indices

The euro dropped big right at the opening of the session, going under the 1.30-level. The currency lost over 1% before the bleeding stopped. Indices went down together with the euro, losing over 1% (small caps even close to 2%). Silver once more reacted extremely bad, down about 5.5%.

The daily charts for Dow Jones & S&P500 are resembling an evening doji star-pattern, a strong bearish reversal pattern. The candles on Nasdaq and small caps are not looking hot either (not for the bulls anyway).

Daily charts DIA, SPY, QQQ and IWM:

Metals went down together with indices, but copper once more outperformed gold & silver.
Oil dropped to 99.50, still eying that 100-level.
