INDICES
AUSTRALASIA
ASX – 5718 ( +147 or +2.64% )
The ASX came into important resistance last week and the question now is can this market break higher?
VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Tue 11:30 – Current Account
Tue 14:30 – RBA Interest Rate Announcement
Wed 11:30 – GDP (quarterly)
Thu 11:30 – Trade Balance
For a continued move higher we must now see the ASX close above 5746 followed by a move higher into 5985. Should this occur we will look for a move into 6020.
If the ASX cannot close above 5746, we will look for a move back down to 5590. A strong break and close below this level could see the ASX move lower into 5408; and any break of this level could see a sharp retest lower into 5102.
EUROPE
DAX – 11675 ( +548 or +4.92% )
The DAX also posted another strong week as it continues to rally with the COVID situation improving. We will be discussing this in the MEMBER PORTAL this week.
NOTE: Monday is a public holiday in Germany (Whit Monday)
VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Thu 21:45 – ECB Interest Rate Announcement
Thu 22:30 – ECB Press Conference
For a move to the upside we must see the DAX close above 11755. Should this occur we will look for a retest of 11875. If the DAX can break strongly through this level, we will look for a move into 12115 and if momentum is very strong we cannot rule out a strong move to 12384.
If the DAX fails to close above 11755, we will look for a move back down to 11366 before a pause. Any break below this level however could see the DAX sell-off sharply into 11050, and if momentum is very strong to the downside we cannot rule out a move back down to 10735.
US
SP500 – 3059 ( +99 or +3.34% )
The S&P was also higher last week but like other markets also faces important resistance going into this week.
VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Tue 00:00 – ISM Manufacturing PMI
Thu 00:00 – ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI
Fri 22:30 – Non-Farm Employment Numbers
For a move higher, we would like to see the S&P hold above 2998. Should this occur we will look for a move into 3140. A strong break above this level could see this market rally strongly to 3210.
If we cannot hold above 2998, we could see this market sell-off into 2902. If momentum to the downside is strong we may see a move lower into 2780; and a close below this level may result in a very fast move down to 2678.
FOREX
AUD/USD – 0.6666 ( +132 or +2.02% )
The Aussie Dollar remains in and out of the key 66c as stated last week and this is the area to watch this week.
VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Tue 11:30 – Current Account
Tue 14:30 – RBA Interest Rate Announcement
Wed 11:30 – GDP (quarterly)
Thu 11:30 – Trade Balance
For a move higher, we would first like to see the AUD hold above 0.6592. Should this occur, we will look for a retest of 0.6692, and if upside momentum remains very strong, we may see a push higher into 0.6873 before a pause.
If the AUD cannot hold above 0.6592, we could see this market break lower and retest 0.6456. A close below this level could see a move to 0.6282; and if momentum to the downside is very strong, a move back down to 0.6092 cannot be ruled out.
EUR/USD – 11100 ( +197 or +1.81% )
The EURO has also come into very strong resistance and we will be watching this market closely this week heading into the ECB announcement.
NOTE: Monday is a public holiday in Germany and France (Whit Monday), Tuesday is a public holiday in Italy (National Day)
VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Thu 21:45 – ECB Interest Rate Announcement
Thu 22:30 – ECB Press Conference
For a move higher, we would like to see the EURO hold above 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 1.1249.
If the EURO cannot hold above 1.1033, we could see a move back down into 1.0902. If this market continues to sell-off a move lower into 1.0814 is very possible; and if momentum is very strong to the downside we could see a fast and sharp move down into 1.0652.
GBP/USD – 1.2346 ( +182 or +1.5% )
Cable is now back in its sideways range having put in a short-term low. We will be discussing this market again in the LIVE CHAT ROOM this week.
For a continued move to the upside, we need to see the Pound hold above 1.2297. Should this occur we may see a move into 1.2480, and if momentum is very strong we cannot rule out further upside into 1.2720.
If the Pound cannot hold above 1.2297, we could see a move lower back down to 1.2080. A break of this level however sets up for a move down to 1.1896; and if momentum to the downside is very strong 1.1706 cannot be ruled out.
USD/JPY – 107.77 ( +17 or +0.16% )
The $/YEN finished the week flat and as such our levels remain unchanged.
For a move to the upside we must now see this market close above 108.31. Should this occur we will look for a retest of 109.21, and if momentum is very strong we could see a move higher into 109.94 and potentially 111.73.
If we cannot close above 108.31, we could see a move lower into 106.52. 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.
COMMODITIES
GOLD – 1729 ( -6 or -0.35% )
Gold is setting a very key base above 1700. Can this market continue to rally higher?
For a continued move higher we must now see this market hold above 1724. Should this occur we could see a strong move to 1755; and any break of this level could see a stronger move to 1786.
If Gold cannot hold above 1724, we will look for a move back down to 1674. A break below this level could see a move lower into 1648; and if momentum is very strong to the downside we could see a move to 1605.
