The local market is treading water after a great run up in November. The daily chart shows the index made a slightly higher new high before trading in a tighter range yesterday and has potentially made a small double top pattern.

The weekly chart has made a higher swing low.

The gold price continued to move up to the resistance zone and could consolidate here before the next move. The next lot of stimulus to be tipped into the US economy could be nearly a trillion dollars and with Janet Yellen appointed to the treasury in Biden’s new government gold is well worth watching. A bullish outside day with volume created a new higher low.

The pop in the iron ore price has pushed BHP above the resistance zone for now. One wonders how much further this can go.

Emeco Holdings continues the recent rise.

Maca looks close to breaking higher.

Cash Converters has moved just out the congestion pattern and we will buy a small parcel for the educational portfolio.

Navigator looks close to a decent breakout.

Heard on a recent podcast that Pinnacle had a few “value” orientated funds in their stable. Value managed funds have been picking up performance over growth funds with some analysts saying the rotation into value is just starting. Perhaps a buy above resistance.

Polynovo has moved up quickly after breaking out of congestion.
