RIO Next Stop $80 Range???With current uncertainly www.commsec.com.au
following is a snippet from news:
1. Either way, Aussie investors are indirectly exposed to Evergrande through the Chinese property sector’s insatiable demand for iron ore. The price of the steel-making ingredient - Australia’s most important export - has already halved from record highs of around US$233 a tonne in May, following China’s clampdown on the property sector and pollution.
2. A downdraught in Chinese property prices would further subdue construction and reduce iron ore demand. Of course, a potential Evergrande default would be catastrophic for steel demand and shares of Aussie-listed iron ore producers.
with current levle of uncertainlty, it's just like catching falling knife, unless we get trend reversal confirmation.
it is possible we can see further down side around $90 range and then finally $80 range.
Please note these are my own notes for future reference, by no means trading advise to anyone. Also, please feel free to comment or share your thoughts.

I will be looking for following conditions:
next week if it closes above $16, would give us some hope - OR -
if it goes below $13.50 then next stop would be $11 range.

ASX 200 @ 5 October 2021 5 Oct 2021 – Market Watch
The last time I did an analysis on the ASX 200 was on 27 September (red arrow). I mentioned as long as the index doesn’t experience a successful push to 7500 levels, I would likely trim positions instead of collecting new ones.
With uncertainties stemming from the twin events of the US debt ceiling and Evergrande, the ASX 200 has tested the lower boundary (7150 levels) of the support zone (highlighted in blue). Even though the index closed with a pin bar and on the upper boundary (7250 levels), I still think it’s too soon to say that this is the end of the bleed.
As I mentioned on Sunday’s FB livestream, I am expecting the next 2-3 months to be a difficult period to trade. US President Biden has voiced out his pessimism of being able to raise the debt ceiling. If that is unsuccessful, will the printing of money end? Whether you like it or not, the global equity markets have benefitted from this additional liquidity and the thoughts/fears of even turning off the tap can send markets crashing.
Evergrande finding a majority buyer for one of its subsidiaries has injected some confidence into the markets; at least for the near term. I still think more needs to be done to restructure the huge debt but I’m cautiously optimistic that the Chinese government will step in. As it is, there is already a directive to government-linked companies to do all they can to help out Evergrande. Reading between the lines, this usually means buying the distressed assets of Evergrande. To get more of my commentary on Evergrande, you can watch the livestream recording (text me for the link) starting from the 16-min mark.
I have exited almost all of my positions last week and I am only left with one stock. Will I buy more? I am evaluating 1 or 2 possible buying opportunities, but I am not anywhere close to pulling the trigger yet. I don’t subscribe to the diamond hands philosophy, especially when it comes to my trading portfolio. Thus, I prefer to be very selective in this uncertain period.
How about you? Are you collecting more stocks now? Or are you keeping your powder dry and buying in when the retracement has ended, and signs of market rebound has appeared?
If you find this market analysis helpful, let me know in the comments. May the markets continue to be with us!

Will the markets meltdown and hammer the bulls as yields rallyThe action has been very heavy this week and major indexes have been pressured lower. There is a lot for bulls to think about and many will be getting nervous. Will the FED come to the rescue again??....and will the Dip Buyers provide support again. In the video I take a look at my key markets and how I am approaching the current market action. I look at US 10-year bonds, the USD, SP500, DOW, Nasdaq and the ASX200.
