Downside For Ardent Leisure

Technicals | Nov 04 2014

By Michael Gable 

Aside from the Melbourne Cup, the other notable event today is the RBA interest rate decision at 2:30pm. Rates are likely to remain on hold of course. The other recent news has been the extra stimulus from the Bank of Japan. It has sent the US dollar higher and gold stocks lower. Our market is likely to stall here for a few weeks as the dividends come out of the banks and profit taking comes in up at these levels.

This week we look at a trading opportunity in Ardent Leisure ((AAD)).
 

Ardent Leisure has trended very well but has started to show some divergence with the momentum over the last few months. That is, as the share price was pushing to a new high, the momentum was already trending lower. Following the sell-off after their AGM last week and the failure of the share price to bounce back in the last couple of days, there is a good chance that the overall uptrend is ending here and the stock could find itself falling back towards support in the mid $2’s where it could fill a gap made here on the daily chart in early August.
