Nanex ~ High Frequency Quote Spam

It’s not high frequency trading (HFT) that concerns us. It’s high frequency quoting, and it should concern everyone…… Quote spam has exploded with no signs of stopping, while trade frequency has stalled and is actually lower than it was years ago.

ASX 200 breaks support

The ASX 200 broke through support at 4220 on the hourly chart, signaling a correction to test primary support at 4040. Retracement to test the new resistance level is weak and follow-through below intra-day support at 4180 would confirm the signal.

Australia: ASX 200

The ASX 200 index has been hesitant since the breach of its descending trendline. A bottom may be forming, but 13-week Twiggs Money Flow reversal below zero warns us not to expect much upside any time soon. Respect of the rising (green) trendline would indicate another test of 4400, while penetration would mean another test of primary support at 4000*.

ASX 200 Index Weekly

A 2-hour chart shows the index headed for another test of resistance at 4310 on Monday. But momentum is falling and respect of 4310 would suggest a correction to 4000.
