Australia: ASX rallies

Iron ore is falling.

And the broader DJ-UBS Commodity Index is testing support at 82. Breach would signal a decline to test the 2015 low at 74.

But the Aussie Dollar rallied Friday, the large engulfing candle suggesting another test of resistance at 75 US cents.

Miners finished strongly, with the ASX 300 Metals & Mining index reflecting short-term buying pressure. 13-Week Twiggs Money Flow recovered above zero.

The ASX 200 is testing resistance at 5800. A 21-day Twiggs Money Flow trough above zero indicates medium-term buying pressure. Breakout above 5800 is likely and would suggest another test of 5950/6000.

Banks also rallied, with the ASX 300 Banks index headed for a test of 8500. Expect strong resistance.

Perhaps this UBS report had something to do with it.

I believe that the latest rally is a secondary reaction and that the ASX is headed for a down-turn, with miners and banks leading the way. But it’s no use arguing with the (ticker) tape.

A prudent speculator never argues with the tape. Markets are never wrong, opinions often are.

  1. Colin, can you please explain why you produce these charts?
    Thanks
    PS : See, I can’t see much benefit to you

    1. It’s pretty good discipline for me. Keeps me focused on the big picture rather than just on individual stocks. But I do get to promote Incredible Charts as well.
