ASX200 outlook ahead of RBA Rate Decision The ASX200 (AUS200) price action sentiment appears bullish, supported by the longer-term prevailing uptrend. The recent intraday price action appears to be a corrective pullback. towards the previous consolidation price range and also the rising support trendline zone.
The key trading level is at the 8490 level, the previous consolidation price range, and also rising support trendline zone. A corrective pullback from the current levels and a bullish bounce back from the 8490 level could target the upside resistance at 8570 followed by the 8620 and 8650 levels over the longer timeframe.
Alternatively, a confirmed loss of the 8490support and a daily close below that level would negate the bullish outlook opening the way for a further retracement and a retest of 8450 support level followed by 8420.

ASX 200: Why I don't trust today's 'record high'The ASX 200 reached a record high in today's session, but it's not a convincing record high in my books. If anything, it could signal yet another false break. Using the ASX cash and futures market alongside Wall Street indices, I delve into why we need to be on guard for another bull trap before the real move potentially begins.

Potential outside week and bullish potential for RMSEntry conditions:
(i) higher share price for ASX:RMS above the level of the potential outside week noted on 31st January (i.e.: above the level of $2.48).
Stop loss for the trade would be:
(i) below the low of the outside week on 28th January (i.e.: below $2.26), should the trade activate.
ASX 200 Futures: Finding a Signal Amid the NoiseWe're sandwiched between an incoming NFP report and the turbulence from Trump's tariffs. That could provide a double dose of 'fickle' price action, which we tend to see leading up to big events such as nonfarm payrolls or Fed meetings. With that in mind, I update my bearish bias on ASX 200 futures, using the intraday timeframe and a glance at Wall Street indices.

ASX 200: Why I'm not banking on [an immediate] record highThe ASX 200 cash market is tantalisingly close to retesting its record high set in December. Traders are betting on an RBA cut in February (and 100bp of cuts this year) which is helping to support the market. Yet I doubt the ASX will simply break to a new high without a fresh catalyst. Comparing the ASX 200 cash and futures market and their key levels, I explain why.
Matt Simpson, Market Analyst at City Index and Forex.com
Potential outside week and bullish potential for HLIEntry conditions:
(i) higher share price for ASX:HLI above the level of the potential outside week noted on 17th January (i.e.: above the level of $4.65).
Stop loss for the trade would be:
(i) below the low of the outside week on 13th January (i.e.: below $4.44), should the trade activate.
Is ASX 200 waiting for a catalyst?Looking at the technical picture of the MARKETSCOM:AUS200 Cash index, we can see that the price remains on an uptrend, while balancing above a medium-term tentative upside support line taken from the lowest point of August 2024. Despite seeing a relatively strong correction lower throughout the whole of December, the index remains resilient to downside pressure. That said, in the short-run, at the time of writing, MARKETSCOM:AUS200 is struggling to break above a key resistance area, around the 8370 barrier.
In order to shift our attention to some higher areas, a break above that key resistance area would be needed. That’s when we may see some more bulls entering the field. If such a move occurs, we might start aiming for the current highest zone, near the 8522 hurdle.
For the downside scenario, we will take a more conservative approach and wait for a break below the previously mentioned upside line. Additionally, a drop below the current lowest point of January, at around 8131 area may invite more bears into the market, potentially opening the door for a move towards the 200-day EMA and the psychological 8000 mark. If that hurdle is unable to withstand the pressure from the sellers, further declines might be possible.

ASX futures tease bearish with a potential swing highSanta's rally put in a poor performance this year. ASX futures sold off into Christmas before the 200-day SMA and 8000 handle came before the market eked out a weak comeback into the new year. Yet price action on the daily chart suggests we could be approaching a swing high.
It appears we're in a third wave higher from 8000, yet momentum lacks the legs of the initial bounce to suggest an ABC correction could be nearing an end. The 50-day SMA has so far capped today's rally and could leave a bearish pinbar should it close the day around current levels. A multi-week bearish divergence has formed on the RSI (14) and the daily RSI (2) is approaching overbought.
The bias is to fade into moves towards the 50-day SMA and target the November low. But if appetite for risk truly sours, we could see prices break beneath the 200-day SMA and 8000 level and head for the lower trendline of the rising channel.

Bullish potential detected for QUBEntry conditions:
(i) breach of the upper confines of the Darvas box formation for ASX:QUB
- i.e.: above high of $4.04 of 28th November (most conservative entry), or
(ii) swing up of indicators such as DMI/RSI along with a test of prior level of $4.00 from 25th November.
Stop loss for the trade (based upon the Darvas box formation) would be:
(i) below the support level from the low of 13th December (i.e.: below $3.80).
Potential key reversal top detected for GMGLevel of interest: $36.67 area level of interest proved problematic on 22nd July (key support/resistance area to observe). Observe market reaction around this level of interest.
Stop loss for the trade involving ASX:GMG (and indication that this trade is an absolute 'no-go') is any trade above the high of the signal day of 10th December (i.e.: any trade above $39.43).
Why on Earth anyone invests in the Australian Shares? (SPX)The last 16 years. The US S&P 500 index (in red) Vs the Australian All Ordinaries index. The US broad market index up by 607%, the Australian index up by 58%. The US S&P 500 index is a broad measure of the top 500 companies in the US, and the All Ordinaries likewise from the largest 500 companies listed in Australia. The US represents about 25% of Global GDP Vs Australia at 1.6%. The US S&P500 index companies also earn about 40% of their earnings from outside America (due to their Global reach). Their companies also lead in tech, banking, defense etc. Why does anyone invest solely in the Australian share markets? The Australian index is very narrowly weighted to the big 4 banks (mostly leveraged on Australian residential real estate), and the large miners (leveraged on the commodity cycle). Both very narrow, non-diversified risky strategies, and clearly over the long term a crap investment compared to the breath of risk and performance outcomes of the US multinational giants of expansion and leading edge innovation.
ASX dragged lower by the DowThe Dow Jones futures market fell for an 8th consecutive day on Monday, a bearish sequence not seen in over 12 years. And that's not good news for ASX 200 bulls, as the index tends to track the Dow very closely.
The daily chart looks like it wants to head to 8200, and it just 1 - 2 bearish trading days away from it looking at a typical day's range. The 1-hour trend has favoured bearish swing traders, who could seek to fade into moves towards the 20-50 hour EMAs.
Potential key reversal bottom detected for WORLevel of interest: Prior support/resistance levels in the past of $13.32 (17-Oct-2022) and $12.92 (10-Oct-2022) (key support/resistance areas to observe).
Await signals for entry such as DMI/ADX and/or RSI swing to the bullish direction.
Stop loss for the trade involving ASX:WOR (and indication that this trade is an absolute 'no-go') is any trade below the low of the signal day of 4th December (i.e.: any trade below $13.16).
Bullish potential detected for FMGEntry conditions:
(i) higher share price for ASX:FMG along with swing up of indicators such as DMI/RSI.
Stop loss for the trade (once activated) would be:
(i) below the support level from the open of 14th November (i.e.: below $18.20), or
(ii) below the support level from the open of 21st November (i.e.: below $17.87), depending on risk tolerance.
ASX 200 futures look set to bounceThe Nasdaq reached a record high and the S&P 500 is close to reaching its own record high. So while the Dow was lower for a fourth day, 2 out of 3 indices rising could help support the ASX today.
It's been over a week since the ASX began retracing from its record high, and with prices now trying to form a base above the monthly pivot point and historical weekly VPOC (volume point of control), I'm now looking for longs.
The ASX has opened lower but remains within the overnight range. Assuming prices hold above the spike low, the bias is for a move higher to last week's VAL (value area low) or VPOC.
ASX 200 H4 | Potential bearish reversalASX 200 (AUS200) could rise towards an overlap resistance and potentially reverse off this level to drop lower.
Sell entry is at 8,403.04 which is an overlap resistance.
Stop loss is at 8,482.00 which is a level that sits above an overlap resistance.
Take profit is at 8,290.26 which is an overlap support that aligns with the 50.0% Fibonacci retracement level.

AU200 forming a top?ASX200 - 24h expiry
Although the bulls are in control, the stalling positive momentum indicates a turnaround is possible.
This is negative for short term sentiment and we look to set shorts at good risk/reward levels for a further correction lower.
We therefore, prefer to fade into the rally with a tight stop in anticipation of a move back lower.
Although the anticipated move lower is corrective, it does offer ample risk/reward today.
Expect trading to remain mixed and volatile.
We look to Sell at 8500 (stop at 8554)
Our profit targets will be 8366 and 8170
Resistance: 8570 / 8820 / 9000
Support: 8440 / 8350 / 8170

LYC 30% moveLYC has broken out of a descending channel with bullish rsi divergence, also multiple divergences on smaller time frames. On the monthly its coming back to retest the 200 ema and if LYC can stay above $6 it will have formed a change of structure forming higher highs and higher lows definitely one to watch over the coming weeks. Good luck and happy trading 🍀
ASX 200 futures could tease bears at these highsThe ASX 200 futures market has struggled to retest 8500, after a brief and uninspiring spell above it. Overnight gains on Tuesday were seen on low volumes, and Wall Street indices have provided a weak lead today. A bearish divergence has also formed on the daily and 1-hour chart.
While prices have rebounded from the weekly pivot point, price action looks corrective. Hence the bias for it being a corrective channel that could break to the downside.
If we see prices rise at the open, I am on guard for it being a 'last hurrah", which could make it a suitable market to fade into with a stop above the record high. The weekly pivot (8390), weekly VPOC (8348) and weekly S1 around 8300 make viable downside targets for bears.
