USA

The Dow Industrial Average closed up at 10485, testing back within the range of Friday's strong downward candle. This signals the market's unwillingness to accept lower prices. The narrow range indicates a lack of buying pressure and low volume signals the absence of selling pressure; the market is in equilibrium.
The intermediate trend is up. Consolidation in a narrow range below 10600 will be a bullish sign. A subsequent breakout above resistance would signal a likely test of 11300.
The primary trend is up. A fall below support at 9600 will signal reversal.

 

The Nasdaq Composite penetrated the upper edge of the 2000/2100 resistance band, closing at 2111 on strong volume. A short counter-trend that respects the new support level will be a strong bull signal.
The intermediate trend is up.
The primary trend is up. A fall below support at 1640 will signal reversal.

 

The S&P 500 imitated the Dow, testing back within Friday's trading range. The index closed up 5 points at 1127 on lower volume, signaling an absence of selling pressure.

Short-term: Bullish if the S&P500 is above the high of 1132 (Thursday's high). Bearish below 1120 (Friday's low).

ASX Australia

The All Ordinaries tested support at 3293 before recovering to close slightly higher at 3308. The long tail and lower volume signal an absence of selling pressure.

The intermediate trend is up. Consolidation between 3320 and 3293 will be a bullish sign, while a fall below 3293 will likely result in a re-test of support at 3160.
MACD (26,12,9) is above its signal line; Slow Stochastic (20,3,3) is below.
Short-term: Bullish above 3320. Bearish below 3293.

In the longer-term, the All Ords has consolidated between 3160 and 3320 after a fast up-trend. A break through resistance will signal a re-test of previous highs at 3425 and 3440. The primary trend is up but will reverse if there is a fall below support at 3160 (the October 1 low). Twiggs Money Flow (100) has leveled out but is still bearish after a large divergence.
