The local market is trading in a sideways pattern with a break either way possible it could set up some interesting trade possibilities.

The price of gold looks to be maintaining the current uptrend for now as it keeps bouncing off the trend line.

This shopping centre REIT has been consolidating at this level for a while and if it were to break to the upside it could have some trade possibilities.

With a lot of good news coming out of the retail sector Harvey Norman may be set for a decent run after moving above the resistance zone.

South32 looks to be forming a possible bullish flag type pattern.

Whitehaven Coal could be consolidating before another move.

The Downer chart looks interesting.

Platinum Asset Management looks to have formed a nice ABC type pattern and we bought a parcel today.

Afterpay has had a great run up and is seen by many to be overpriced.

In a recent story on Livewire by Jeremy Grantham called “Waiting for the last dance” Grantham says in part that the long bull market from 2009 has matured into a fully-fledged epic bubble along with hysteric and speculative investor behaviour which will burst in due course and will be recorded in time as one of the great bubbles of financial history. What goes up comes down eventually as cycles turn, buyers be aware.
