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?

- Today, the stock created a new ATH but quickly retraced to form a bearish pin bar
- Historically, the stock has had periods of uptrends interrupted by long periods of sideways consolidation

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.

27 SEP 2021 – Market Watch
As mentioned in last night’s livestream, the ASX 200 is currently trading in No Man’s Land. This is a zone where it is trading in a band that is bounded by a strong resistance (7400 levels) and strong support (7250 levels).
Usually, when an index or stock is stuck in No Man’s Land, there needs to be a strong catalyst to break either the resistance/support. With the markets still feeling the unease stemming from Evergrande’s missed interest payment last Thursday and the continued lack of clarity on the US Fed’s tapering plans, I fear we might continue to be stuck in this tight band (blue shaded zone) for at least the coming week.
The best-case scenario is if there is a successful push to 7500 levels and beyond. If it happens, I would be more bullish on the market. As it is, I am more trigger happy when deciding to trim positions. If Evergrande somehow presents a huge contagion effect at a global level similar to Lehman Brothers, the ASX 200 will likely drop to possibly even break 7150 levels.
88% of my stocks are green today. How about you?
