INDICES
AUSTRALASIA
ASX – 5740 ( -36 or -0.62% )
The ASX has been consolidating its big Christmas rally and is now at some key levels.
VOLATILITY ALERT: Unemployment numbers on Thursday.
For a continued move higher we would like to see the ASX hold above 5705, followed by a break above 5746. A strong break through this level could see the ASX move into 5777, and should we close strongly above this 5777 we will look for a move to 5823. If momentum remains strong our upside target of 5875 cannot be ruled out.
On the downside, a break below 5704 could lead to a strong move down to 5589. Should the ASX fail to hold this level we could see further pressure to the downside with a move to 5521 and 5504 respectively.
EUROPE
DAX – 11617 ( +18 or +0.16% )
Like the ASX the DAX too has been consolidating its big move in December. Will we see a breakout this week? We will be discussing potential breakout moves in our LIVE CHAT ROOM.
VOLATILITY ALERT: ZEW Economic Sentiment on Tuesday, ECB Interest Rate on Thursday followed by Press Conference.
For a continued move to the upside we must see the DAX hold firmly above 11592. A close above this level may likely see the DAX push into the key 11755 – 11790 area. Should we break through these levels, we may see another leg higher into 11875, and a break and close above this level could see a very strong move to 12054.
If we fail to hold above 11592, we will look for a move back down to 11340. Below this, the DAX is at risk of selling off back down to 11050.
US
SP500 – 2277 ( +0.5 or +0.02% )
The S&P has been sideways for 4 weeks now and we are anticipating a breakout very soon.
VOLATILITY ALERT: CPI on Wednesday, Donald Trump inauguration on Friday.
For a move higher we would like to see a the S&P hold above 2270. Should this occur we will look for a move to 2292. A strong break and close above this level could see the S&P at 2312 by the end of the week.
If we cannot hold above 2270, we may likely see a move down to 2256. A break and close below this level could see the S&P retrace down into 2234, and should momentum on the downside remain strong 2212 is the next level lower we are watching.
FOREX
AUD/USD – 0.7500 ( +205 or +2.81% )
The AUD/USD has put it in one of its best week’s to the upside in a long time. We will be discussing this market in more detail in our LIVE CHAT ROOM.
VOLATILITY ALERT: Unemployment numbers on Thursday.
For a move higher we would like to see the AUD hold above 0.7447 and ideally 0.7489. If this occurs we could see a quick move to 0.7561 before a pause. If momentum remains strong we will look for a move into 0.7617.
If we cannot hold above 0.7447, we will look for a move all the way back down to 0.7364. If momentum remains strong to the downside, a move into 0.7282 cannot be ruled out.
EUR/USD – 1.0639 ( +108 or +1.03% )
The EURO has been very quiet and out of the news. We think this will change very quickly as 2017 may prove to be a very telling year for the EURO.
VOLATILITY ALERT: German ZEW Economic Sentiment on Tuesday, Interest Rate on Thursday followed by Press Conference.
LIVE TV: We will be covering and trading the ECB Press Conference LIVE, beginning 11:30pm Thursday AEDT in our MEMBER PORTAL.
For a sustained move higher we would now like to see this market hold above 1.0631. If we can hold above this level we will look for a move back into 1.0738, and should momentum remain strong we will be watching the key area between 1.0977 – 1.1000.
If we cannot close above 1.0738, we could see continued chop back and forth around the 1.0631 level. However should we remain below this level, our next level down is 1.0525. A strong break below that could see 1.0462 very quickly, and if momentum is strong we cannot rule out a move to 1.0424.
GBP/USD – 1.2196 ( -87 or -0.71% )
This year will also be a very interesting year for the GBP as we see the Brexit fiasco unfold even further. We have already begun to discuss this in our LIVE CHAT ROOM.
VOLATILITY ALERT: CPI on Tuesday, PM May talk on Brexit and Unemployment numbers on Wednesday, Retail Sales on Friday.
For a move to the upside to begin, we would like to see a strong break and close above 1.2297. If the move higher follows through we could see a retest of 1.2480. A strong break and close above this level should see a retest of 1.2622, and if momentum remains strong a move to 1.2720 becomes very possible.
On the downside, we are watching two key areas at 1.2100, 1.2074 and further below between 1.1896 -1.1880.
USD/JPY – 114.50 ( -243 or -2.08% )
The $/YEN is now at some very key short term levels.
For a continued move to the upside we would like to see this market hold above 113.87. Should this occur we will look for a move back up into 115.54. A break above this level could see a strong move into 116.08, and if momentum to the upside remains strong we will look for a move to 117.23.
If we cannot hold above 113.87, this market is at risk of breaking much lower. A strong break and close through 113.87 may likely result in a retest of 112.87 very quickly, and a break below this level could see a sharp move down into 111.73. Should the selling pressure continue a move back down to 111.09 is possible.
COMMODITIES
GOLD – 1197 ( +25 or +2.13% )
GOLD has been bouncing back and forth between our levels perfectly over the past 12 months. This week we are again approaching key levels.
For a continued move higher we would like to see 1187 hold as support, followed by a break and close through 1206. This was one of the key levels of 2016. Should we see a strong break and close through this level we may see further upside into 1222.
If Gold cannot hold above 1187, we will look for a move back down to 1181. A strong break and close below this level we could see Gold trade back down to 1170; and additional breaks lower could see this market trade lower into 1160 by week’s end.
