Trouble appears to be brewing for European stocks.<\/p>\n
The iShares MSCI Eurozone ETF (EZU) closed more than 1% lower on Tuesday, under pressure from stubbornly high Covid-19 cases in France, Germany and Italy and Easter weekend lockdowns.<\/p>\n
The ETF hit its highest level since August 2008 in Monday's session. Tuesday's move marks the reversal of a relatively steady two-week uptrend.<\/p>\n
With renewed lockdowns on the table, the euro zone's future growth may not chalk up to prior years, Miller Tabak chief market strategist Matt Maley told CNBC's "Trading Nation" on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Not only that, but parts of the European market, particularly Germany's DAX Index, are "very, very overbought," Maley said, noting that the DAX has outperformed the S&P 500 since the start of November.<\/p>\n
"It's right up there at levels on its relative strength index, its RSI chart, that were followed by pullbacks of 12% in the fall, and it's the most overbought it's been since 2019 when it pulled back 7%," he said.<\/p>\n
