Australian sector watch

Looking over the charts

• The Aussie 200 Index finally felt the buying power of the bulls today, rising nicely out of the oversold region and breaking a few minor resistance points along the way. The accumulative buying over the last few sessions has been favouring the bulls as we’ve been speaking about.
• In addition to the swing higher, the market closed in the upper portion of the trading range, providing another bullish signal, with all sectors showing green screens. What is interesting is that we had flat US Markets overnight and commodities were largely down across the board with Iron Ore, Crude and Gold languishing, yet our commodity heavy market soldiered on.
• Momentum is starting to favour the bulls and the market over recent times is all about finding your entry point, identifying a sensible stop-out level and adjusting your risk accordingly. Therefore, if you are right you win, otherwise you take a relatively small loss.
• Support is currently sitting around the 5355 and below that at 5330 and then 5295 with resistance sitting at 5390 and above that at 5425.
