INDICES
AUSTRALASIA
ASX – 5489 ( +25 or +0.46% )
The ASX has managed to just hold onto its weekly gains; and this week we look to see if this market can continue its recovery.
VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Tue 11:30 – Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes
Tue 15:00 – RBA Governor Lowe Speaks
For a continued move higher we must now see the ASX close above 5746 followed by a push into 5823. Should this occur we will look for a move into 5985, and if momentum to the upside remains strong we cannot rule out a move to 6070.
If the ASX cannot close above 5746, we will look for a move back down to 5408. A strong break and close below this level could see the ASX retest lower into 5102, and if downside momentum is very strong we cannot rule out a move to 4695.
EUROPE
DAX – 10701 ( +15 or +0.14% )
The DAX finished off the week where it started and we are watching this market closely now for a potential breakout. We will be discussing this in the MEMBER PORTAL this week.
VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Tue 19:00 – German ZEW Economic Sentiment
Thu 17:30 – German Flash Manufacturing PMI, Services PMI
Fri 18:00 – German Ifo Business Climate
For a move to the upside we must see the DAX close above 11050. Should this occur we will look for a retest of 11366. If the DAX can break strongly through this level, we will look for a move into 11566.
If the DAX fails to close above 11050, we will look for a move back down to 10266 before a pause. Any break below this level however could see the DAX sell-off sharply into 10010, and if momentum is very strong to the downside we cannot rule out a move back down to 9690.
US
SP500 – 2878 ( +84 or +3.01% )
The S&P was also again stronger than others as it too inches further to recovery. We will be discussing this in the MEMBER PORTAL this week.
VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Thu 23:30 – Unemployment Claims
Thu 23:45 – Flash Manufacturing PMI
Fri 22:30 – Durable Goods Orders (monthly)
For a move higher, we would like to see the S&P hold above 2870, followed by a retest of the key 2902 level. Should this occur and we see strong momentum, a break above this level could see the market rally strongly into 2998.
If we cannot hold above 2870, we could see this market sell-off into 2780. If momentum to the downside is strong we may see a move lower into 2678; and a close below this level may result in a very fast move down to 2632 and 2478.
FOREX
AUD/USD – 0.6306 ( -39 or -0.61% )

For a move higher, we would first like to see the AUD hold above 0.6282. Should this occur, we will look for a retest of 0.6456, and if upside momentum remains very strong, we may see a push higher into 0.6592 before a pause.
If the AUD cannot hold above 0.6282, we could see this market break lower and retest 0.6092. If momentum to the downside is very strong, a move back down to 0.5980 cannot be ruled out.
EUR/USD – 1.0871 ( -59 or -0.54% )
The EURO bears returned in the second half of last week to close the market lower after being up early in the week.
VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Thu 18:00 – Flash Manufacturing PMI, Services PMI
For a move higher, we would like to see the EURO hold above 1.0814 on its way to retesting 1.1033. Should this occur, we will look for a move to 1.1117; and if momentum is very strong we cannot rule out a move to 1.1201.
If the EURO cannot hold above 1.0814, we could see a move back down into 1.0652. If this market continues to sell-off a move lower into 1.0525 is very possible; and if momentum is very strong to the downside we could see a fast and sharp move down into 1.0480.

If the Pound cannot hold above 1.2480, we could see a move lower back down to 1.2297. A break of this level however sets up for a move down to 1.2080; and if momentum to the downside is very strong 1.1896 cannot be ruled out.

If we cannot close above 108.31, we could see a move lower into 106.52 before a pause to the downside. A break below this level may result in a sharp move lower into 105.50; and any further breaks to the downside may see a bigger move into 104.97.

If Gold cannot hold above 1575, we will look for a move back down into 1548. A strong break and close below this level could send this market lower into 1515.
