VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Tue 11:30 – Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes
Wed 11:30 – Unemployment Rate
For a continued move higher we must now see the ASX hold above 6635. Should this occur, we will look for a test of 6682. If momentum to the upside continues we could see a retest of 6804, and if momentum is very strong we cannot rule out rule out a move to 6850.
If the ASX cannot hold above 6635, we will look for a move back down to 6544. A strong break and close below this level however could see the ASX retest 6500 before a pause; and if downside momentum is very strong, we could see a move down to 6435.
EUROPE
DAX – 12467 ( +403 or +3.34% )
The DAX was capped off an impressive recovery last week with a big move higher on Friday following continued positive EU/UK Brexit talks.

For a continued move to the upside we must see the DAX hold above 12374. Should this occur, we will look for a move off 12566 into 12714. If momentum is very strong, we could see a fast move to 12921.
If the DAX fails to close above 12374, we will look for a move back down to 12198. Any break below this level however could see the DAX sell-off sharply into 12000 this week.
US

If we cannot hold above 2960, we could see this market retest 2941. A break of this level however may result in quick move down to 2902; and if momentum to the downside remains strong we may see a fast move down to 2885.

VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Tue 11:30 – NAB Business Confidence
Wed 10:30 – Westpac Consumer Sentiment
For a move higher, we would first like to see the AUD hold above 0.6762. Should this occur, we will look for a retest of of 0.6875, and if upside momentum remains very strong, we may see a push higher into 0.6934 before a pause.
If the AUD cannot hold above 0.6762, we will look for a retest of 0.6706. A break and close below this level sets the stage for a larger move down to 0.6598; and if momentum to the downside is very strong, 0.6457 cannot be ruled out.
EUR/USD – 1.1035 ( +57 or +0.52% )
The Euro managed to close last week higher back above the all-important 1.1000 level. We will be discussing the significance of this exclusively in the MEMBER PORTAL.
For a move higher this week, we would like to see the EURO hold above 1.1033; followed by a break back above 1.1197. Should this occur, we cannot rule out a move to 1.1249 if momentum remains strong.
If the EURO cannot hold above 1.1033, we could see a move back down into 1.0977. If this market continues to sell-off, we could see a sharp move down into 1.0902 and 1.0814 by the week’s end.
GBP/USD – 1.2647 ( +314 or +2.55% )

On the downside, should we fail to close above 1.2720, we will be watching the key level at 1.2622 very closely. A strong break below this level however sets this market up for a bigger move down into 1.2480.
USD/JPY – 108.40 ( +150 or +1.4% )

VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Tue 11:30 – BoJ Governor Kuroda speaks
For a move to the upside we must now see this market hold above 108.31, on its way to retesting 109.21 before a pause. A strong break and close above this level could then see the $/YEN rally into 109.94, and if momentum is very strong we could see moves to 110.31 and 110.78.
If we cannot hold above 108.31, we could see a fast move lower into 107.75. A break below this level may result in a retest of 107.36 and this is where things get very interesting. A break below this level could mean a very sharp move down to 106.52.

GOLD – 1488 ( -16 or -1.06% )
Gold was steady last week as it remains in its consolidation phase. We are now on alert for a breakout.
For a continued move higher we must now see this market close above 1505. Should this occur, we will look for a move to 1526 ; and if momentum remains very strong, a strong break above this level could see Gold rally quickly into 1540 and 1552.
If Gold cannot close above 1505, we will look for a move back down into 1480. A strong break and close below this level could send this market lower into 1470, and if momentum is strong to the downside we cannot rule out a move lower into 1450.
