ASX200: Upside Intact

Technicals | Dec 07 2015

By Nick Linton-Ffrost

Trading above 5200 and 5300 should start a move towards 5450

Friday's reversal day in the ASX200 may have put in place a higher low at 5120 (wave 2 yellow text). Trading above 5200 for 1-2 days would improve the chances of this scenario and should trigger a move above 5300.

A break above 5300 would be significant given it is the top of wave 1 (yellow text) and also breaks above the seven month trend line. The trend line down from 6000 is significant given it has been touched at four points.

If a higher low does form at 5120 the minimum target is 5450 (where wave 3 approximates wave 1). The trend line break is around 5800 where the trend channel height is added to the break point at 5300.

Trading below 5100 for more than 1-2 days negates our view and should set up a move to major support at 4900.
