Australian sector watch
Looking over the charts
- The Aussie 200 index has managed to hold on to the current levels of support, but only just, fighting back to day with a handy 28.6 point gain.
- Fortunately for those still focused on the long side, the market held the 5270 support, touching it a couple of times intraday and rallying into the close.
- One day doesn’t make a trend, but momentum to the downside is at least holding, for now and given the amount of price we’ve seen, we could see time catch up and a potential consolidation from here.
- Support is currently at 5265 and then below that at 5230. Resistance continues to build at 5300 and then 5340.
