US & European markets broke above their short-term downtrend line

When the global stock markets turned on a dime & rose sharply, we stood aghast and looked frantically for an explanation. Frankly speaking, I do not know what has changed to justify such a strong reaction from the markets. All the major US & European markets have turned up sharply & broke above their short-term downtrend line (the pink lines denoted below as 'A'). With the momentum on its side, the bull may still charge for a few more days before taking a break.
