The key level we’re watching at present is 4587. A break down through that suggests a deeper correction toward 4400 is underway. However, if price can hold above 4587 we have a significant bullish triangle to contend with that may provide the springboard into the New Year. We’ll take a closer look at this in [...]

The market dropped 100-pts right on the opening bell and then stayed in a sideways band. It certainly appears that the sideways ranging is going to continue, albeit we still retain a positive interest in the broader indices strength. The Transports have broken up and out of the resistance and whilst they were weak last [...]

It’s all red here. The daily trend. The weekly trend. And daily momentum. The only saving grace is that price is stuck in a coiling symmetrical pattern that could lead to a upside breakout toward 5200. A break down through 4600 will be a very negative signal but if we can hold up above that [...]

It was suggested that last nights session would be a market mover – and we weren’t disappointed. Unemployment dropped sending the market dramatically higher but a bid also came into the US Dollar sending stocks lower again and pummeling Gold. Stocks dropped several hundred points from the intra day high before recovering to finish slightly [...]

Another Friday – another bad day. What is it with Fridays? If you’re wondering why its so hard at present, take a moment to consider that the market is net +7pts since September 17 – that’s 78 calendar days or 55 market days of basically trading sideways. No wonder false breakouts are rife. Is there [...]

A quiet day whilst the market awaits Friday employment data out of the US. I have added a few more long trades but caution is still required until the Dow Transports break up and through resistance. There are also a few short trades around for those interested, but as they’re against the trend I won’t [...]

A reasonable day for the broader market, although it gave back some of its early gains. The materials sector had a strong push higher and I continue to keep this as my own personal focus for new trades. Whilst there are other setups around I’m staying within this resource/energy sector. The XAO broke out of [...]

Very strong evidence that the US aren’t concerned with the events of Dubai, albeit that’s their way of ignoring everyone else. The US market also got a kick along from the RBA rate hike yesterday. Its viewed in a positive light because it portends that we’re well on the way to healing from last years [...]

On Friday we wanted to know how the US would react to the Dubai crisis. We acknowledged that ‘usually’ the US shrugs off international issues. Whilst the US is still not on full power after its Thanksgiving break, we do seem to have an answer – that is, they shrugged it off. Europe rallied hard [...]

The $64 million question is how will the US react to the goings on in the last 24-hours? It was a holiday last night and only a half day session today. Chances are those that really matter will be taking a long weekend and will not return till Monday. Will they shrug off what happens [...]
