INDICES
AUSTRALASIA
ASX – 6204 (+17 or +0.27%)
The ASX struggled last week despite if momentum to the upside is very strong we cannot rule out a move to 6345.
If the ASX cannot close above 6206, we will look for managing to close slightly higher.
VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Tue 11:30 – Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes
Mon 11:30 – Unemployment Rate
For a continued move higher we must now see the ASX close above 6206. Should this occur we will look for a move into 6276, and a move back down to 6180 before a pause. A strong break and close below this level however could see the ASX retest 6140, and if downside momentum is very strong we could see a move down to 6070.
EUROPE
DAX – 11686 (+193 or +1.68%)
The DAX has broken out and continues to be in a position to post a larger rally should we break this week’s key resistance levels. We will be discussing the importance of this move in the LIVE CHAT ROOM this week.

For a continued move to the upside we must see the DAX close strongly above the 11755 – 11790 area. Should this occur, we will look for a retest 11875. If momentum is very strong, a break and close above this level could see another push higher into 12054.
If the DAX fails to close above 11755, we will look for a move back down to 11362 before a potential pause. If this market continues to sell-off, a very strong move down into 11050 cannot be ruled out.

If we cannot close above 2838, we could see this market trade back down to 2808. A break of this level however may result in quick move back down to 2790; and if momentum is strong to the downside we could see a sharp move down to 2760.

If the AUD cannot close above 0.7113, we will look for a move lower into 0.7014. A break and close below this level however could see a sharp decline into 0.6997. Any further breaks to the downside could then see the AUD quickly trade at 0.6958 and 0.6934; and if momentum to the downside remains strong we cannot rule out a move into 0.6830.

Like the Aussie Dollar, the Euro is also testing a very key level here.

Should this occur we could see a retest into 1.1335 and any breaks above this level may mean a quick move into 1.1453 before a pause. A strong close above this level however could see the EURO rally strong into 1.1496 by the week’s end.
