ASX 200 stalls as Aussie Dollar retreats

The Aussie Dollar retreated from resistance at $0.91. Breakout below primary support at $0.885 against the greenback would warn of a primary decline, with a long-term target of $0.81*. Follow-through below $0.865 would confirm. Recent Twiggs Momentum peaks below zero also indicate a primary down-trend. Respect of primary support and recovery above $0.91 is unlikely, but would suggest that a bottom is forming.

The ASX 200 is consolidating below resistance at 5450, waiting for a lead from US markets. Bearish divergence on 13-week Twiggs Money Flow suggests long-term selling pressure, but completion of a large trough above zero (TMF recovery above 30%) would change this. Breakout above 5450 would signal an advance to 5800*. Reversal below 5400, however, would warn of another correction.

ASX 200 VIX below 15 indicates low risk typical of a bull market.
