Asia rallies while ASX smoulders

India’s Sensex found support at 20200 before rallying to test resistance at 21200. Breakout above its 2007 and 2010 highs at 21000 would confirm the primary advance, offering a target of 24000*. Rising 13-week Twiggs Money Flow suggests medium-term buying pressure. Reversal below 20200 is unlikely, but would warn of a correction to primary support at 18000.

Japan’s Nikkei 225 broke through resistance at 15000, but bearish divergence on 13-week Twiggs Money Flow warns of selling pressure. Expect retracement to test the new support level. Respect of 15000 is unlikely, but would confirm the primary up-trend, with a long-term target of 17500*. Reversal below the rising trendline would test primary support at 13200, warning of trend weakness.

Singapore’s Straits Times Index respected support at 3000 on the monthly chart, but is struggling to make an impression on long-term resistance at 3300. 13-Week Twiggs Momentum below zero continues to warn of a primary down-trend. Breakout above 3300 is unlikely at present, but would signal a primary advance to 3600*.

* Target calculation: 3300 + ( 3300 – 3000 ) = 3600

China’s Shanghai Composite is testing resistance at its upper trend channel. Follow-through above 2200 would indicate the correction is over and a test of 2270 is likely. A down-swing to test the lower channel is just as likely, however, and would indicate continuation of the correction. Completion of a 21-day Twiggs Money Flow trough above zero (say > 15%) would signal medium-term buying pressure. Breakout above 2270 may be some way off but would signal a primary up-trend.

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng broke resistance at 23500, signaling a primary up-trend. Follow-through above 24000 would confirm, offering a medium-term target of 24500 and a long-term target of 28000*. Rising 13-week Twiggs Money Flow indicates medium-term buying pressure. Reversal below 23500 is unlikely, but would warn of another test of 22500 or the primary trendline.

Hang Seng Index

* Target calculation: 24000 + ( 24000 – 20000 ) = 28000

The ASX 200 is testing medium-term support at 5300. Penetration of the rising trendline, would warn of a correction. Bearish divergence on 21-day Twiggs Money Flow suggests selling pressure.

ASX 200

The monthly chart shows a correction would be likely to test the secondary rising trendline around 5000. Recovery above 5400 is unlikely at present, but would signal an advance to 5600*.

Asia: Singapore breakout, ASX 200 selling pressure

India’s Sensex followed through above resistance at 19000. Breach of the descending trendline would indicate a primary advance to 22000*. 13-week Twiggs Money Flow below zero, however, signals selling pressure and reversal below 19000 would warn of another test of primary support at 18000.

Breakout above 22000 is unlikely at present but would signal an advance to 24000*.
