The local market continues the sideways congestion and we were stopped out of the ASX200 cfd position with a small loss. The banking sector looks to be putting a dampener on overall market gains.

The Dow Jones Industrial Index has poked up to a new high and we bought a mini futures contract. This index looks stronger than the ASX 200 and has a strong seasonal trend for this time of year.

The price of gold has again had a down day where price has moved more than 1.5 per cent lower and is yet to puncture the spike low.

The banking index shows prices are up from the lows and have run into trend line resistance and looks to be making a triple top pattern. The current triangular congestion pattern spells danger and if prices break lower, we could see a decent fall.

On the positive side Westpac closed near the top of yesterday’s range after announcing a $2.5 billion capital raising.

Macquarie Bank shows a much stronger trend than the big four.

A few fund managers look to be making a move higher including Pinnacle.

Polynovo has run well after a previous spike down. Will history repeat?

Platinum Asset Management had a nice move up out of congestion yesterday. Fellow fund manager Magellan is also forming an interesting pattern.

Audinate has moved up from the congestion and could run further and offers some nice trade possibilities.
