The local market continues to trade within the sideways range and is near the low point of the sideways channel. Time for another move up or will it finally move out of congestion? We bought 4 ASX 200 cfd’s to take advantage of any rise this morning, kinda like a bet each way while still holding the BBOZ bearish ETF.

A longer-term view of the Australian market shows price above the longer-term trend line.

Jumbo Interactive looks to be slowly moving up and is yet to clear the resistance zone.

Costa Group has been drifting lower and looks to be consolidating before the next move up.

A couple of gold stocks including Perseus and Silverlake look to be consolidating just below a resistance zone before another possible leg up. The FMOC update in the US later this week could inject some life into the currency and gold markets.

Bellevue Gold is marking time.

Flight Centre has been trading in a tight range.

Whitehaven Coal has been moving up from the low until today’s slump and a few directors have been adding to their holdings recently. Can it form an ABC type pattern off the current low?

Can Mesoblast hold current support ahead of some expected announcements over the next few months? It can be a volatile stock and not one for the faint hearted.
