ASX 200 fails to respond to Dow surge

Dow Jones Industrial Average broke its declining trendline Monday, surging strongly, but light volume indicates hesitancy on the part of buyers.

Asian stocks reacted with enthusiasm but Shanghai, after gapping up at the open, fell sharply, giving up most of its gains. The ASX 200 response was muted, with a narrow range and low volume indicating hesitancy from buyers. Reversal below Monday’s low of 4150 would signal another test of 3850. Failure of support would offer a target of 3600*.

  1. If the XJO fails from here it is a H/S formation from 10 August on the charts and the initial target would be around 4090, which is also around the middle of the channel. LIght volume always is a worry though if you were a bull.
