For a continued move higher we must now see the ASX close above 6435. Should this occur we will look for a test of 6500, and above this 6550. If momentum to the upside is very strong we cannot rule out a move to 6670.
If the ASX cannot close above 6435, we will look for a move back down to 6350 for strong support. A strong break and close below this level however could see the ASX retest 6276, and if downside momentum is very strong we could see a move down to 6180.
EUROPE
DAX – 11929 ( -1629 or -12.02% )
The DAX was also aggressively sold off last week having failed to break through one of our major levels.
For a continued move to the upside we must see the DAX close above 12198. Should this occur, we will look for a move into 12384 before a pause. If momentum is very strong we cannot rule out a blow off move to 12566 and 12750.
If the DAX fails to close above 12198, we will look for a move back down to 11875. Any break below this level however could see the DAX sell-off sharply into 11755 this week; and if downside momentum is very strong we cannot rule out a move down to 11519.
US
SP500 – 2989 ( -349 or -10.46% )

Tue 02:00 – ISM Manufacturing PMI
Thu 02:00 – ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI
Sat 00:30 – Non-Farm Employment Numbers
For a move higher we would like to see the S&P hold above 2960. Should this occur, we will look for a move to 2985. A strong break above this level however could see the S&P trade above 3003, and if momentum is very strong, we may see a big move into 3066.
If we cannot hold above 2960, we could see this market retest 2902. A break of this level however may result in quick move down to 2885; and if momentum to the downside remains strong we may see a fast move down to 2750.

AUD/USD – 0.6507 ( -119 or -1.8% )

The EURO managed to put in a short-term low and posted a strong reversal on Friday.
VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Tue 09:00 – CPI Flash Estimate (annual)
For a move higher this week, we would like to see the EURO close above 1.1033 on its way to retesting 1.1117. Should this occur, we will look for a move to 1.1197; and if momentum is very strong we cannot rule out a move to 1.1249.
If the EURO cannot close above 1.1033, we could see a move back down into 1.0977. If this market continues to sell-off a move lower into 1.0902 is very possible; and if momentum is very strong to the downside we could see a fast and sharp move down into 1.0814.
GBP/USD – 1.2814 ( -142 or -1.1% )
The UK broke down last week however can it hold the all-important 1.2720? We will be discussing this market again in the LIVE CHAT ROOM this week.
VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Fri 04:00 – BoE Governor Carney Speaks
For a continued move to the upside, we would like to see Cable hold above 1.2720, followed by a retest of 1.2868 before a pause. Should this occur we will look for a move to 1.3035 and 1.3161; and if momentum is very strong we could see a re-test of 1.3191.
On the downside, should we fail to hold above 1.2720, we will be watching the key level at 1.2622 very closely. A strong break below this level however sets this market up for a bigger move down into 1.2480.
USD/JPY – 108.08 ( -348 or -3.12% )
The $/YEN has faded to the downside as quickly as it rallied. We are now at a critical junction for this market.
For a move to the upside we must now see this market hold above 107.75, on its way to retesting 108.31 before a pause. A strong break and close above this level could then see the $/YEN rally into 109.21, and if momentum is very strong we could see moves to 109.94.
If we cannot hold above 107.75, we could see a fast move lower into 107.36. A break below this level may result in a retest of 106.52 before a pause; however any breaks below this level could mean a very sharp move down to 105.50.
COMMODITIES
GOLD – 1585 ( -58 or -3.53% )
Gold was sold off on Friday in its biggest one day sell-off in many years.
For a continued move higher we must now see this market hold above 1574, followed by a close above 1605. A break and close above this level sets the stage for a move to 1620; and if momentum is very strong to the upside we cannot rule out a move to 1632.
If Gold cannot hold above 1574, we will look for a sharp move back down to 1525. This is a pivotal area; and any break below this level sets the stage for a much larger move down to 1504 and 1474.
