Share markets continue to hold at current levels, with the Australian market looking a bit more overbought than the US.
We have recently seen some moves higher in the US dollar and a decline in some commodity prices, so locally we should continue to see a cooling off in the share prices of our large miners. At some point soon they will be a buy again, so that is one sector that we are keeping a close eye on.
Other stocks in our market appear to be breaking higher in the meantime. Many look to be over-extended, but we expect there to be opportunities around the corner once we see some share price consolidation.
This week's report has a chart on the S&P/ASX 200 to show how it is developing here.
The XJO is back near the old high, but it has achieved this by rallying up in a straight line. This is often unsustainable and we need to see how it reacts when some selling steps up to the plate.
The RSI is also indicating a potential turning point here (circled).
Just because the index is overbought, it doesn't mean that we will get a sharp decline from here. The index may consolidate sideways for a period of time before it is ready to head higher again.
For now, we just need to keep an eye on it and observe the price action over the next few days in order to get an idea if we get a sharp pullback or a sideways move instead.
