The local market was slowly heading higher from the recent low and today looks to have run into a resistance zone around the February low and at the 32 per cent Fibonacci retracement level.

The weekly chart shows the recent bounce in a longer-term perspective.

The US Nasdaq Index looks to be well contained within a descending trend channel for now. With US earnings season starting any downside revisions could further impact this declining market. We took a punt on a small GGUS position in anticipation of a breakout. Our stop is in place.

We bought some Clinuvel in anticipation of a possible bullish flag breakout.

Pinnacle looks to have found support for now.

 

Pointsbet could be forming a low.

Pilbara has bounced nicely off the support zone for now.

Australian earnings revisions were 29 per cent lower in June and perhaps a warning of lower share prices to come.

Some analysts say US earnings are due to be revised lower.

A table of US bear market peak to trough monthly durations and how long it took to regain the previous high. The current peak to trough is around 172 days so far.
