Review of prediction from 30th August 2013

The uptrend has held for a 10th week. The market remained flat as the uptrend stop was tested for a second week in a row. Volumes remained low and sellers waited for another week. Resistance at 5125 and 5145 continues to hold any upside and we continue to expect the peak from a fortnight ago to hold. AUDUSD is poised to test the 0.884 lows and International markets focus on SP500 as it continues to look for 1600. The flat trend and limited upside indicates a neutral position and we wait for the long established supports to fail.

Bulls continue to hold gains and supports will continue to be tested.  A close above 5071 next week will continue the trend. The 11th week of the uptrend shows no resistance above 5126 and break of this level will target a new peak.  Market has failed to breakout for 3 weeks and the bears are getting confident.
 
Bears are testing supports however sellers are holding and remain patient.  A close below 5071 next week will be the start of a downtrend. Downside target is 4964. The 11th week may be the end of a 10% rally.

ACTUAL                                                                            5109  –  5209

Market spiked on Monday as the Weekly and monthly upper ranges were cleared. The market was extremely overbought above 5204 and the market retreated for the rest of the week. The market was stuck in the range between 5125 and 5169 for most of the week. Thursday and Friday saw a test of the September monthly stop at 5106 as the bears tested the bulls resolve. In a mirror of last week the market had a strong start to the week and failed to hold the early rally finishing the week with a 27 point gain. The market closed less than 1% higher than a fortnight ago as the flat trading conditions continued.
