Below is a daily chart from Barry Ritholz of the S&P 500.
I've been on the lookout for more quality analysis of the FTSE, NSE, MSCI, and other indices besides the S&P -- if you know any, do feel free to share. Here's some techncial analysis of the FTSE, which came in via InformedTrades Video Channel.

In Recognition of Forexer, Frankkn, and TheRagstoRichesStory!
I wanted to take a moment to recognize some outstanding contributions here in the InformedTrades community:
1. Forexer and TheRagstoRichesStory were granted global moderation rights several months ago, to help ensure that we have round-the-clock moderation against evil spammers. I did not announce this previously to allow for a testing period. But I think the time has come to make this announcement public and official -- and to award Forexer and TheRagstoRichesStory the Global Moderation badge! I'd also like to award them each a share in the forthcoming Simit Fund as a sign of thanks. 
2. I'd also like to award Frankkn and Forexer the Journal badge for the outstanding journals they have kept here on InformedTrades -- journals that have been praised by IT members as a tool that has helped community members learn. Step into Dr. Frankkn's Office (and his blog) as well as Forexer's daily commentary thread to see examples of traders who have contributed to InformedTrades in a manner that helped them improve and grow as traders -- and helped us learn as well. By the power vested in me as central banker, I'm awarding each of them a piece of InformedGold. Congratulations -- and sincere thanks!

Out in InformedTrades Video Channel, we have lots of good stuff coming in (and more on the way!). Here's one particular video I wanted to highlight from T1systems that touches on market breadth, an issue for US stock market traders that we haven't covered here much on InformedTrades.
Introducing the InformedTrades Topic Index! (Tag Cloud)
Sometimes it may not be apparent just how much information we have on this site. And so to help alleviate that problem, I'm pleased to introduce the IT Topic Index! I spent the past few days setting this up, and while it will likely be an ongoing work in progress, I think the initial version is ready. We also have one for our blogosphere -- eventually the two will get merged, but there is some software development work that needs to be done first.
Our topic index is a nice manifestation of our mission statement, and how InformedTrades is living up to it. Its also a good time to thank everyone for contributing. Of course, most online communities have a bunch of people who contribute a little bit, and a much smaller group that do a lot of contributing. The heavy hitters of IT deserve to be recognized for their outstanding contributions -- and indeed they are, via our badge system.
You can find the topic index on the top right of the black navigation bar on each page of the site. Also, now seems like a good time to include a link to our extended site map.
