ASX 200 @ 12 OCT 2021Text me if you have any questions/comments for me. ----- 12 Oct 2021 – Market Watch The last time I did an analysis on the S&P/ASX 200 was on 5 October (red arrow). Since then, the ASX 200 has recovered less than 0.5%. It is currently testing the counter-trendline (purple dotted line). A failure to breakout would likely see another retracement to the 7200 psychological support. Further overhead resistance looks to be around the 7360-7400 levels. Last week, I mentioned that I would be more willing to trim positions rather than add new ones especially if there is no good recovery in the markets. At that time, I was exploring 1 or 2 buying opportunities but instead, I entered 3 stocks that have given me gains of up to 4%. Besides the purchases in Australia, I was also adding 3 new stocks into my US portfolio and 1 new stock into my Malaysia portfolio. Why did I suddenly become bullish when I am naturally quite conservative? As explained during last Sunday’s FB livestream, I was quite happy with the news that the US debt ceiling crises has been averted for now. The US government has kicked the can down the road to early December 2021. This should calm the markets for the next few weeks before the political rhetoric heightens again towards the end of November. The US employment figures that came out last Friday disappointed the market and points to a slowing down of job creation. The combined number of jobs created in August and September were less than 50% of the target of 1 million jobs. I have a strange feeling this would temper the FOMC’s hawkish stance and they might even elect to postpone making an announcement on tapering bonds next month. If my gut feeling is correct, this would place a lot of pressure on the tapering announcement to be made in December’s FOMC meeting. Couple this with the debt ceiling crises that will no doubt loom large again, I expect that these twin risk events will create a lot of uncertainties in the markets. When the US sneezes, the whole world gets lung cancer. I don’t think we will be spared here in Australia if there is a retracement in the US. As I mentioned previously, I still expect that a strong retracement will place in Australia over the next 2-3 months. With all that doom and gloom, why did I enter new positions? Personally, I used the previous retracement (in late Sep and early Oct) to find stocks that were outperforming the market. Usually, when the market recovers, these stocks will tend to outperform the market and recover at a faster pace. Besides that, with most of the uncertainties coming in early December, I expect the markets to experience a mini bull run at least over the next few weeks. With that said, I am still trigger happy and I will cut my positions in a heartbeat if the markets turn against me. How about you? Have you entered new positions? Or are you looking to sell some old positions for a quick profit (or lower loss)?

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? If you find this market analysis helpful, let me know in the comments. May the markets continue to be with us! Disclaimer:- I’m a mid-term trader and I hold my stocks between 1-3 months. I’m using Trend Following strategies and my analysis will be from a perspective as a Trend Follower. I’m sharing these analyses for learning purposes and as always, DYOR.
