Conclusion
Short-term: The MACD joins the Slow Stochastic above its signal
line. Take new positions but keep tight stops as we can expect

Medium-term: Wait for a new high on the All Ords.
Long-term: Look for a secondary cycle reversal on the Nasdaq or
S&P 500 - if they break above their January highs.
