Market Comments 17/6/2010

The XAO was down 0.5%. That's a relatively benign figure.

As shown with the trend lines on the chart above, XAO is at the top of an upsloping trend channel which has a bias towards an upsloping wedge shape (bearish).

So we can expect the market to take a rest at such a stage. Only if it breaks below the lower trend line can we call a resumption of the bear.

Small Ordinaries were down just -0.2% while the 50-Leaders were down -0.7%. That seems to give the risk takers an edge.

On the other hand, the best performing sectors in the market today were Consumer Staples and Health . And that's not the stuff to inspire confidence in the market.

I think we're in for a short period of downward movement. If we break below the lower trend line, we've got a resumption of the bear.

Cheers
