XJO trade ideas
XJO - Historical Performance - Last 5 trading days of AugustSince 2000, the historical performance of the S&P ASX 200 Index XJO for the last 5 trading days of August reveals a slight upward bias. Albeit, noise dominates the data. 5-day average return of 0.51%, win rate 13 from 21, standard deviation 1.98%.
Australian stocks looking pretty goodAfter more than a decade of poor performance relative to other markets, the Australian stock market has clearly broken out. At least it has broken out in AUD terms, not USD terms (not yet). It's looking pretty strong and in my opinion it could continue much higher. Definitely one market that makes me have a more bullish outlook on stocks in general.
At some point it could return to 6300, but for now I can easily see it go to 10000 over the next 12-18 months.

Expected Breakout Higher in AUS200Disclaimer
The views expressed are mine and do not represent the views of my employers and business partners. Persons acting on these recommendations are doing so at their own risk. These recommendations are not a solicitation to buy or to sell but are for purely discussion purposes. At the time publishing, I have a position in AUS200.
Trend Analysis
The main view of this trade idea is on the 1-Hour chart. AUS200 has been in a rangebound move and is expected to breakout in the short to medium term. Based on the market profile, the range is between 7255 and 7325.
Technical Indicators
AUS200 recently crossed above its short (25-SMA), medium (75-SMA) and fractal moving averages and it is currently at the middle of the range. The RSI is above 50 and is heading higher. Moreover, the KST confirmed bullish move with a positive crossover.
Recommendation
The recommendation will be to go long at market. At the time of publishing AUS200 is trading around 7293. The medium-term target price is observed around the 7400 price level. A stop loss is set at 7200.
Risk Management - Tom DeMark TD 9 Still in Play ASX200 $XJO Was 7406 the top for the short term?
Was the breakout this week a bull trap?
Technical indicators such as the MACD and RSI are still with the bears.
If we close below the 21 daily moving average, time to reduce position size and risk until we can close above 7406 again.
Short setup ASX200 XJO$XJO (ASX200) some points of potential confluence over the coming days, suggesting a SHORT set-up. Overhead resistance, head and shoulders, against a ticking clock for a daily cycle high to be printed. One final run into a cycle high before rolling over.
Tail risk is high, if going long on the ASX.
1. On a short timeframe, the ASX200 looks to be approaching a resistance level, which started 7 June.
2. We also have the RSI reaching oversold level at the same time, however a steeper push over the coming week would steepen the RSI's reach into deeply oversold territory.
3. This might coincide with a peak in the right shoulder of a possible head and shoulders pattern.
4. It should also be noted that this coincides with the timing band for a daily cycle high and a descent into a daily cycle low around early to mid July. The DCL was set 19 May. 30 June marks day 41 of this daily cycle. With the headwinds I have noted above, it makes it difficult for the ASX200 to breach the Half Cycle High set on 16 June.
So, watch for a breach of the resistance level, perhaps, albeit brief and weak, before it rolls over.
Still bearish on ASXXJO looking to tumble soon. Lagging diagonal in white is complete, married with decreasing momentum on RSI, tells me we are due for one. It is unclear for how long roughly though. Lagging diagonals usually herald an intense drop and a complex correction. We shall see, as we live in unprecedented times financially. Goals in purple.
None of the above is financial advice, please do your own research - your trades are your trades.
Total Market MadnessSo as you can see from the chart, the last time we were this far above the 200MA was March last year (27%). Before that it was 2008 (~50%). Today we are now around 40% away from the 200MA. We are at the top of the trend, under Resistance R3 on the daily, Stochastic doesnt have any more room to go up (computer will probably say no at some point), BB is overstretched. There is also indication that we are starting to form a head and shoulders pattern with left shoulder and head forming on the daily.
Yet the market is still in euphoria (VIX is 15, XVI is 12, US10Y bonds are 1.5%), it seems that everything is just fine.... Until it's not. These types of market movements have happened before, and as the monthly shows, the end result is usually the same.
