Market Comments: 10/3/2010


Another pause in proceedings today. The candle is a small doji - which indicates indecision and, at the top of a rally, sometimes precedes a fall in the market.

Is that likely? I could easily be wrong, but I don't think so.

The market is still not overbought with the Daily RSI at 63.7. Any significant retracement is likely to occur with the RSI around the 70 level.

The Advance/Decline Line has now reached above the October high while the XAO is still a little below that. So we have a positive divergence suggesting the XAO will go higher.

I haven't put up this chart, but the UpVolume/DownVolume Line now exceeds the January high - an even stronger divergence.

The On Balance Volume has also exceeded the January high. (Chart not shown.)

50-Leaders and Small Ordinaries were both up 0.1% today - so sentiment regarding risk was evenly balanced - congruent with a flat day.

The XAO chart has broken above the upsloping wedge and the shall down trend line from January. That's a bullish development providing support under the XAO.

So, I think this market is going higher. We might have another day or two of consolidation before the next move up - but that's where I think it's going.

If we get a big black candle tomorrow, then all bets on the upside get cancelled. That would complete the reversal pattern hinted at by today's small range doji.

Best of luck - I hope you've been on the long side of this very good run.

Cheers
