The local market continues the sideways shuffle.

The price of oil is trading in a tight range at the moment. What will happen this time at the end of the contract month? Late last month led to big declines with the costs of storage pushing prices lower.

Two of our gold stocks Silver Lake and Evolution are close to previous tops with the MACD indicator recording some divergence with lower readings. We sold down a quarter of our position today and banked some profits.

Macquarie Group made a nice move above resistance.

Flexigroup moved out of a nice consolidation pattern and we bought a parcel.

Quite a few stocks are showing similar patterns including Woodside Petroleum and Santos.

OOH! Media has been creeping up and making higher lows.

Ramelius Resources is back to previous highs where it has run into stubborn resistance and failed to move higher a few times. Can it move higher this time?

Former high flyer Phoslock Environmental fell down in a big way and now looks to be recovering and forming a bullish flag type pattern.
