Xero Upside

This story features XERO LIMITED. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: XRO

By Michael Gable 

Last week in our introduction, we mentioned the need to be ready to take advantage of the dips as we were still positive on the overall picture for markets. The week before that we suggested that you shouldn't necessarily sell in May and go away. So far this month the S&P/ASX 200 Index is up about 150 points. We have been bullish on the market all year and yesterday saw it reach a 12-year high. During the last several weeks we have generally seen a rotation out of material stocks (except iron ore of course) and a move back into growth companies. The election result has seen fully franked stocks catch a bid and this might add another dynamic to fund flows in the Australian market.

For this week however, we have analysed Xero ((XRO)). 

Our prior analysis was on 19 March when XRO was trading at $49.35 and we advised that XRO should push to a new high. Because of our experience in trading XRO well in the past, we commented that "when XRO goes on to make new highs, it tends to see a lot more buying step in. This means that clearing that resistance level could see it quickly put on a few more dollars." The gap-up last week was on good volume and as long as XRO holds on here, it should be able to edge higher. A break of $58.00 would indicate that it might spend more time consolidating and that would be a sign for traders to take profits and to wait for better levels to re-enter.
