ASX200: Weaker Before Stronger

Technicals | Mar 31 2015

By Michael Gable 

The last week saw a couple of fairly negative days for the Australian market. Part of yesterday’s move could potentially be attributable to the $4.73bn block trade in Caltex. That money needs to come from somewhere and it appears to have come via the selling of other stocks on the exchange. We have some commentary on the S&P/ASX 200 Index in today’s report showing where we believe our market could head to.
 

We are negative on the index in the short term, despite still being positive on it for the longer term. After failing to push through 6000 in early March, the market trended downwards until reaching up and trying to hit that market again. In the last week have started to see a clear failure of that level and the risk to our market has clearly been skewed to the downside. We are expecting a 3-wave decline from the intraday peak on 3 March, which will take our market to support around 5650, possibly as low as 5600. Based on what we can see at the moment, this is where the market should commence the next rally to beyond 6000.
