At the beginning of Friday's session in the USA, one can observe the continuation of the nervous sentiment from yesterday. On Thursday, the main Wall Street indices fell by over 1%, but by the end of the session, buyers managed to maintain the initiative.

Potentially significant, one can also observe a sudden narrowing of the distance between the signal line and the MACD average, which may give the first signals of valuation weakness.
