ASX – 6681 (+9 or +0.13%)
The ASX continues to consolidate again at our key level at 6682. We will be discussing this in the MEMBER PORTAL.
VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Thu 13:05 – RBA Governor Lowe Speaks
For a continued move higher we must now see the ASX close above 6720. Should this occur we will look for a test of 6804. A strong break of this level however could see the ASX rally quickly to 6850, and if momentum is very strong we cannot rule out a move to 7011.
If the ASX cannot close above 6720, we will look for a move back down to 6650. A strong break and close below this level however could see the ASX move lower into 6544 before a pause; and if downside momentum is very strong, we could see a move down to 6435.
EUROPE
DAX – 12239 (-87 or -0.71%)
The DAX sold off for the second straight week; and now we look to see if this market can find support at previously important levels.

For a continued move to the upside we must see the DAX close above 12384. Should this occur we will look for a move off 12566 into 12714. If momentum is very strong, we could see a fast move to 12921.
If the DAX fails to close above 12384, we will look for a move back down to 12198. Any break below this level however could see the DAX sell-off sharply into 12000 this week.
US
SP500 – 2968 (-42 or -1.4%)
With a big week in store for US markets this week, the S&P is now at a turning point. Can the market hold here or will we see sellers become more aggressive? We will be discussing this market in the LIVE CHAT ROOM this week.

For a move higher we would like to see the S&P close back above 2985. Should this occur we will look for a move to 3003. A strong break above this level however sets the stage for a move higher into 3066.
If we cannot close above 2985, we could see this market retest 2960. A break of this level however may result in quick move down to 2941; and if momentum to the downside remains strong we may see a fast move down to 2904.
FOREX
AUD/USD – 0.7044 (+23 or +0.33%)
The Aussie Dollar has finally managed to clear the important 70c level; but can it hold above it this week?

Thu 11:30 – Unemployment Rate
For a move higher, we would first like to see the AUD hold above 0.7014. Should this occur we will look for a move into 0.7113, and if upside momentum remains very strong we cannot rule out a move to 0.7197 – 0.7236 before a pause.
If the AUD cannot hold above 0.7014, we will look for a move lower into 6958. 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 – 1.1221 (-49 or -0.43%)
The Euro is testing the patience of every participant both bull and bear. As we trade back down into support, can the buyers rally together this week?
VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Wed 18:00 – Flash Manufacturing PMI, Flash Services PMI
Thu 21:45 – ECB Interest Rate Announcement – LIVE TV
Thu 22:30 – ECB Press Conference
For a move higher we would like to see the EURO hold above 1.1249. 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.
If the EURO cannot hold above 1.1249, we could see a move down into 1.1201 before a pause. A strong break of this level may result in a move into, however any weakness below this level could see a sharp drop into 1.1117 before the week’s end.

On the downside, a close below 1.2480 could see this market sell off strongly into 1.2350. Any further weakness below this level could see the Pound continue to slide down into 1.2297; and if momentum to the downside is very strong this week we cannot rule out a move to 1.2195.

The $/YEN remains in a choppy sideways range and as such our levels remain unchanged this week.

Tue 01:00 – BoJ Governor Kuroda Speaks
For a move to the upside we must now see this market close above 108.31, on its way to retesting 109.21 before a pause. A strong break and close above this level could then see the $/YEN rally into 109.94, and if momentum is very strong we could see moves to 110.31 and 110.78.
If we cannot close above 108.31, we could see a fast move lower into 107.75. A break below this level may result in a retest of 107.36 and this is where things get very interesting. A break below this level could mean a very sharp move down to 106.52.
