For a continued move higher we must now see the ASX close above 5408 followed by a retest into 5590. Should this occur we will look for a move into 5746, and if momentum to the upside remains strong we cannot rule out a move to 5985.
If the ASX cannot close above 5408, we will look for a move back down to 5102. A strong break and close below this level could see the ASX retest lower into 4820.
EUROPE

If the DAX fails to close above 10760, 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.

If we cannot close 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.
