INDICES
AUSTRALASIA
ASX – 5939 ( -92 or -1.53% )
The ASX has broken out of its tight sideways range but can it hold at these levels?
VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Tue 11:30 – Trade Balance
Tue 14:30 – RBA Interest Rate Announcement
Fri 11:30 – RBA Monetary Policy Statement
For a continued move higher we must now see the ASX close above 6070 followed by a push into 6140. Should this occur we will look for a move into 6206, and if momentum to the upside remains strong we cannot rule out a move to 6276.
If the ASX cannot close above 6070, we will look for a move back down to 5921 before a pause. A strong break and close below this level however could see the ASX retest 5823, and if downside momentum is very strong we could see a move down to 5746.
EUROPE
DAX – 12321 ( -509 or -3.97% )
The DAX also managed to close lower last week and is at a very key area going forward this week. We will be discussing this in the MEMBER PORTAL this week.
For a continued move to the upside we must now see the DAX close above 12566. Should this occur, we will look for a strong move into 12714, and if momentum remains strong a push back higher into 13050.
If the DAX fails to close above 12566, we may see a retest back down into the key level of 12266. A close below this level is likely to see a retest of 12166; however if momentum is very strong to the downside we cannot rule out a move to 11871.
US
SP500 – 3276 ( +65 or +2.02% )
The S&P continues its resilience in the face of plenty of uncertainty; having recovered a late week sell-off by closing at highs.
VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Tue 00:00 – ISM Manufacturing PMI
Thu 00:00 – ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI
Fri 22:40 – Non Farm Unemployment Numbers
For a move higher we would like to see the S&P hold above 3248. Should this occur, we will look for a move higher into 3308. A strong break above this level however sets the stage for a move higher into 3338; and if momentum is very strong we cannot rule out a move to 3375.
If we cannot hold above 3248, we could see this market move lower into 3208. A break of this level however may result in a quick move down to 3166; and if momentum to the downside remains strong we may see a fast move down to 3106.
FOREX
AUD/USD – 0.7142 ( +37 or +0.52% )
The Aussie Dollar was again stronger last week but are we seeing the first sign of a reversal?
VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Tue 11:30 – Trade Balance
Tue 14:30 – RBA Interest Rate Announcement
Fri 11:30 – RBA Monetary Policy Statement
For a move higher, we would first like to see the AUD hold above 0.7113. Should this occur we will look for a move into 0.7197, and if upside momentum remains very strong we cannot rule out a move to 0.7236 before a pause.
If the AUD cannot hold above 0.7113, we will look for the AUD to 0.7014. A break and close below this level however could see a sharp decline into 0.6934; and if momentum to the downside remains strong we cannot rule out a move into 0.6830.
EUR/USD – 1.1773 ( +118 or +1.01% )
The EURO is also now at a very big resistance area. We will be discussing this market again in the LIVE CHAT ROOM this week.
For a move higher we would like to see the EURO hold above 1.1738. Should this occur we could see a retest of 1.1840. A break of this level could see this market rally further to 1.1925; and if momentum is very strong, 1.2048 cannot be ruled out.
If the EURO cannot hold above 1.1738, we could see a fast move down into 1.1678 before a pause. A strong break of this level may result in a move into 1.1612, however any weakness below this level could see a sharp drop into 1.1496.
GBP/USD – 1.3084 ( +290 or +2.27% )
The British Pound was also higher last week having broken the key 1.2720 level; but can it hold above here?
VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Thu 21:00 – BoE Interest Rate Announcement
Thu 21:30 – BoE Gov Bailey Speaks
For a continued move to the upside, we would like to see Cable hold above 1.3035, followed by a retest into 1.3161 before a pause. If however momentum is very strong we may see a strong push into 1.3277.
Should we fail to hold above 1.3035, we could see a move back down to 1.2867. A break below this level however could see Cable further depreciate to 1.2720 by the week’s end.
USD/JPY – 105.83 ( -29 or -0.27% )
A major reversal on Friday saw the $/YEN erase most of its losses early in the week.
For a move to the upside we must now see this market close above 105.99. Should this occur we will look for a retest of 106.52, and if momentum is very strong we cannot rule out a move all the way back up to 108.31.
If we cannot close above 105.99, we could see another move back down into 105.50. A break below this level may result in further downside to 104.97; and any further breaks to the downside may trigger a bigger move into 103.21.
COMMODITIES
GOLD – 1975 ( +74 or +3.89% )
Gold had yet another stellar move last week and has held last week’s lows firmly. We will be discussing this market exclusively in the MEMBER PORTAL this week.
For a continued move higher we must now see this market hold above 1938. Should this occur we will look for a move to 2012. A break above this level sets Gold up for moves to 2033 and potentially 2050.
If Gold cannot hold above 1938, we will look for a move back down to 1920. A break below this level could see a move lower into 1900; and if momentum is very strong to the downside we cannot rule out a sharp move down to 1871.
