ASX200 Not Out Of The Woods

Technicals | Jul 20 2015

By Nick Linton-Ffrost

Break above 5600 improves odds for rally to 5850 before another leg lower

Our upside view is based on the following assumptions –

  • five wave move lower from 6000 to 5400 implies the corrective A wave is complete
  • Break above 5600 pivot level (top of wave “i” ) and trend line break point triggers a buy with target at 5850/5900
  • B wave target is derived from channel height added to break point at 5600
  • 5/20 moving average cross over in a northerly direction adds weight to the upside case
  • we expect the rally to take 4-6 weeks to complete which should be followed by a C wave to 5300 (where C=A)
  • view contingent on XJO not trading below 5550 for more then 2-3 days

Alternative view – trading below 5550 for over 2-3 days improves odds for a flatter B wave structure. In this case we would expect 3-5 weeks of sideways trading between 5400 and 5600 before a break lower to 5100.
