INDICES

AUSTRALASIA

ASX – 5915 ( +78 or +1.34% )

The ASX managed to recover slightly last week but is still in very negative territory for the month.

For a continued move higher we must now see the ASX hold above 5823 followed by a retest of 5930. A strong close above 5930 could see a move back up into 5985 , and if momentum to the upside is very strong we cannot rule out a strong reversal into 6070.

If the ASX cannot hold above 5823, we will look for a move back down to 5777 and 5746 before a pause. A strong break and close below this level however could see the ASX sell off sharply into 5671.

 

EUROPE

DAX – 11549 ( -23 or -0.2% )

The DAX was strong early in the week but a sell-off on Thursday ensured the bears would have yet another win. We will be discussing this market in more detail in the MEMBER PORTAL this week.

VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Wed 18:30 – German Flash Manufacturing PMI
Wed 18:30 – German Flash Services PMI
Thu 19:00 – German Ifo Business Climate
Thu 22:45 – ECB Interest Rate Announcement – LIVE TV
Thu 23:30 – ECB Press Conference

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.

 

US

SP500 – 2765 ( -4 or -0.14% )

The S&P finished off the week slightly lower and with an important fortnight coming up, all eyes will be on this market. We will continue to discuss the implications of this in the LIVE CHAT ROOM.

VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Thu 23:30 – Core Durable Goods Orders (monthly)
Fri 23:30 – Advance GDP (quarterly)

For a move higher we would like to see the S&P hold above 2760. Should this occur we could see another retest of 2785, and if momentum remains strong to the upside we cannot rule out a moves to 2808 and 2838.

If we cannot hold above 2760, we could see this market continue to sell-off into 2736 before another pause. A break of this level however may result in quick move down to 2704; and if momentum to the downside remains strong we may see a move down into 2680 and 2660.

 

FOREX

AUD/USD – 0.7119 ( +3 or +0.04% )

The Aussie dollar remained in a very narrow sideways range last week and as such our levels remain unchanged.

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 strong we will look for 0.7229 – 0.7236 before a pause.

If the AUD breaks back below 0.7014, we may likely see a move back down into 0.6997. A strong break below 0.6997 could see us move back down into 0.6958 and 0.6934. Should the move to the downside remain very strong we will look for a retest of 0.6830.

 

EUR/USD – 1.1514 ( -43 or -0.37% )

The Euro has put in a short-term double bottom right at one of our key levels and we will be discussing this very closely this week in the LIVE CHAT ROOM.

VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Wed 19:00 – Euro-area Flash Manufacturing PMI
Wed 19:00 – Euro-area Flash Services PMI
Thu 22:45 – ECB Interest Rate Announcement – LIVE TV
Thu 23:30 – ECB Press Conference

For a sustained move higher we would like to see the EURO close and hold above 1.1613 this week. Should this occur we could see a strong move into 1.1738 before another pause. A strong break above 1.1738 could result in a fast move to 1.1822.

If the EURO cannot close above 1.1613, we could see another retest of 1.1496. A break below this could be followed by another quick move into 1.1453; and should momentum remain strong we cannot rule out a move to 1.1347.

 

GBP/USD – 1.3065 ( -87 or -0.66% )

Like other currencies the Pound continues to consolidate and we are now on alert for a breakout move in this market.

For a continued move to the upside, we would like to see Cable remain above 1.3035, followed by a retest of 1.3161 before a pause. Should this occur we will look for a move to 1.3191 and 1.3277; and if momentum is very strong we could see a re-test of last week’s highs into 1.3386.

On the downside, should we break and close strongly below 1.2868, there is every chance we see a move lower into 1.2720. Should this level break however we could see a fast move down into 1.2622.

 

USD/JPY – 112.54 ( +33 or +0.29% )

The $/YEN managed to end a 2-week losing streak with a slightly higher close last week.

For a move to the upside we must now see this market hold above 111.73. Should this occur we will look for a test of 112.68 before another pause. However a strong break and close above this level could see the YEN rally strongly into 113.87.

If we cannot hold above 111.73, we are likely to see a retest of 111.09. A strong break and close below this level could result in a move back down to 110.45, and if momentum to the downside is very strong we may see a very sharp move down into 109.94.

 

COMMODITIES

GOLD – 1226 ( +8 or +0.66% )

GOLD also spent the majority of last week consolidating and is now also poised for a breakout.

For a move higher we would like to see this market hold above 1222 on its way to re-testing 1238. Should this occur we will look for a retest of 1247, and if momentum is very strong we could see a move into 1260 before a pause.

If Gold cannot hold above 1222, we could see another decline into 1216. Any subsequent breaks of this level however may result in further downside into 1206, and if momentum to the downside remains very strong we cannot rule out a move back down into 1187.
