The local market closed lower yesterday as some analysts suggest that with the interest rate hiking cycle just beginning markets will be under pressure and heading lower for some time.

The weekly chart shows a possible bearish flag pattern forming which could see recent lows tested.

Lithium mining companies are all off significantly in morning trade.

The price of gold is also under pressure and we sold out of Resolute today.

We sold half of the GGUS ETF today after price gapped up on Monday and as yet has failed to follow through.

The four-hour chart of GGUS shows the reasoning behind our recent purchase with a nice W bottom and a trendline break.

Xero had a nice spike lower.

Pointsbet Holdings has moved above the downtrend line and could be starting to form a bottoming pattern.

Dominoes looks like it could be forming a bottoming pattern.

Whitehaven Coal has been holding up well with some analysts suggesting this year will be a bumper for earnings.

The Nasdaq index looks to have bounced off the midline for now.
