The ASX 200 passed its first test after breaking long-term resistance at 5000. The index retraced to test the new support level [test #1] in the first hour of trading today but rallied strongly thereafter. Respect of support strengthens the breakout signal but expect further tests in the weeks ahead. Respect in the Daily and Weekly time frames would confirm the primary advance, with a long-term target of 6000*.
* Target calculation: 5000 + ( 5000 – 4000 ) = 6000
