USA
An hour before the close, the Dow was up 0.5% on reasonable
volume. There may well be a test of the 10200
resistance level before the close. The bearish MACD
divergence continues.
The Nasdaq climbed almost 3% to reverse
the down-trend
- a higher trough followed by a break above the level of
the previous peak.
Tech gains lift the market
Australia - ASX
The All Ords closed down at 3359 on light volume. It
appears that the big money is at the cricket and will only
return to the market next week (or maybe by Friday afternoon -
the way the South Africans are playing).
I am still anticipating a downward correction after the
bearish MACD
divergence.
Conclusion
Here we go again:
Short-term: Tighten up on stop
losses and avoid new entries.
Long-term trades: Wait for a correction on the
secondary cycle.
