The local market looks to be stuck in a sideways move for now and could be on the cusp of another bullish break similar to the one in early July. Watching.

The four-hourly chart puts the potential break upwards into a different perspective.

A nice screenshot of the Dow Jones breakout, retracement and consequent run higher.

Syrah has moved up out of the sideways pattern. An ABC type retracement could give traders a better entry point.

Whitehaven Coal is stuck in what could be a distribution topping type of pattern. Later today price moved below our small stop and we sold half of our total position. Watching carefully to exit when needed, perhaps tomorrow.

The weekly chart of Syrah showing potential price targets.

 

The Commonwealth Bank is trading in a sideways range for now. Some analysts suggest that as margins improve price will gain some traction.

 

Macquarie Group may have found a bottom around these levels.

Clinuvel is forming another consolidation pattern. Watching.

Credit Corp had a strong day after reaffirming previous guidance.

Domino’s broke the down trend line and is yet to move very far. Some analysts suggest pizza’s might make a comeback as entertainment budgets tighten.

The pic below shows that prior to the 1987 crash the markets had already come off the boil.
