Buy vs Sell bids and overall gainers/losers indicates a negative sentiments altogether. But being a Monday morning we cannot decide anything now. This week is going to be a major earning week in the US with many technology majors are expected to announce their quarterly results this week. So the current trend might be only a short term sentiment. If Europe managed to open without much loss our markets also hopefully will sustain current level or will move up further from current level.
