Last week the local market jumped up on the back of a strong rise in US markets after the Bank of America posted some decent results. The next day on half the volume the US market gave most of it back in a volatile two days. Since then the market has been creeping up.

The ASX 200 index has formed a nice bullish divergence pattern and we bought 6 ASX 200 cfd’s late on Tuesday.

Pinnacle Investment Management looks to have held at one of the main retracement levels with a small bullish divergence pattern and we bought some for the educational portfolio.

We bought some Life360 for the educational portfolio after price moved out of the sideways congestion.

JPMorgan analyst Jason Steed’s take on Whitehaven Coal back in June 2021 turned out to be spot on. Hope he bought a few thousand.

Whitehaven Coal has just hit the 100 per cent of the range target. How far can it go? Steep rises in price run out of puff eventually.

Lotteries mob Jumbo Interactive has a small divergence pattern. Watching.

Australian Ethical Investment is still in a down trend with a potential double bottom pattern yet to be confirmed.

Aussie Broadband has just nudged above the down-trending wedge pattern and we bought some for the educational portfolio today.

IPH looks to be consolidating at these higher prices.

Telstra is still in a sideways funk.

Treasury Wine looks to be consolidating the move to higher prices.

We added some L1 long-short managed fund to the portfolio today.

We added Domino’s Pizza to the educational portfolio today as price has just moved above the down trend line.

Will markets in the US get a wriggle on after this year’s mid-term elections?
