ASX 200 hints at Turnaround TuesdayStock markets took quite the beating on Monday on fears of a US recession, and speculation that the Fed may be forced to cut rates as soon as next week. A stronger-than-expected ISM services report slowed the bleeding before Wall Street indices recouped some of their pre-session losses. Nikkei futures have since risen 10% from Monday's low, which could bode well for the ASX 200.
SPI 200 futures saw a false break of the April low and held above the Feb low. A bullish divergence has formed on the 1-hour chart and prices are trying to hold above the weekly S3 pivot. Dips towards 7500 could appeal to countertrend trend for a move up towards 7700.
ASX
ASX 200 futures hints at another leg higherThe sharp fall from its record high remains the dominant feature on the daily ASX 200 futures chart. Whilst this is likely to suppress appetite for risk for some time, Tuesday's bullish hammer suggests bears are in need of a break.
The false break of the April low has been followed by a higher low and higher high on the 1-hour chart. Prices are now trying to form another higher low, so dips look appealing for bullish setups down to 7555.
7700 is the next upside target near the 38.2% Fibonacci ratio, although there is also a resistance cluster between 7767 to 7794 which also seems reachable. Whether it can extend such a move really depends on appetite for risk elsewhere.
Elliot Wave: ASX VEA Forming wave 3 at supportASX VEA took support at a long term trend line and forming the potential start of impulse wave 3. Wave 1, 2 and now 3 are longer term wave patterns, resulting in longer term trends with potential ups and downs - impulse and corrections while getting to the wave 1 high initially and then beyond.
S32 20% bounce?S32 has retraced from the top of this triangle and looking to find support on this trendline going back to 2015. S32 also has support from a previous channel and support zone at $2.90 all converging in the same area. MACD is also turning up with bullish hidden divergence on the RSI. If breaks below support zone and trendline then will be no trade and could even look too short on a retest. Good luck and happy trading🍀

Aristocrat Leisure - is price over extended?#ASX #ALL - Aristocrat Leisure
Examining #ALL for July, the strength of buying remains moderate to strong, which is continuing to push the price higher towards the end of July.
Currently on directional indicators in the Blue Chip stock analysis report (marketmonkey.com.au), the price is over extended for a second month. This over-exuberant buying tends to decline into the third month, when prices often weaken.
No convergence as yet with the short-term moving averages, so price is likely to remain bullish in the very short term.

Long on LLCLLC is currently in a descending wedge with bullish RSI divergence and has a nice crossover on the MACD, it has not had a breakout yet but will look for a little 10% move to the top of the wedge. Also looking for a gap fill but will see what it does closer to resistance at the top wedge. Good luck 🍀
ASX 200 bulls eye 8000The ASX 200 futures contract (SPI 200) snapped a 3-day losing streak overnight, and with Wall Street trying to shed last week's losses and the Nikkei and Hang Seng finding support, we suspect a bounce could be due for the ASX today.
The daily chart found support at the 20-day EMA and monthly R1 pivot and closed back above the May high. It is now within 1-2 day's trade form the 8k level.
The 1-hour chart shows a liquidity gap between 7950 - 8000, and with bullish momentum behind it we could find that area acts as a magnet to fill the gap towards 8000. Bulls could seek dips back towards the May high for longs up to 8000, although without a fresh catalyst it seems like a tempting area for bulls to book profits.
Liontown Resource OutlookTechnical Analysis
Short-term: Watch the $1.00 support level. If it holds, there might be a short-term bounce, especially considering the increased volume at this level.
Medium-term: Monitor the $1.25 support and $1.75 resistance levels. Both levels show significant volume activity, indicating strong buying and selling interest.
Long-term: Significant resistance is around $2.75. A break above this level, confirmed by high volume, could indicate a potential for higher highs.

Commissioning of the dry plant commenced in late March 2024, with the crushing circuit energized ahead of schedule
Wet plant milestones were achieved, with key areas like flotation piping and electrical well-progressed

ASX looks set to retrace from resistanceThe ASX 200 cash market enjoyed its most bullish day in seven on Thursday. But like the SPI 200 futures contract, it met resistance before pausing.
The daily chart shows that a double top formed around the June 26 high and trend resistance. And as it's not unusual to see a market retrace against a strong move, and we have an NFP report looming which could suppress volatility, we're looking for prices to retrace lower against yesterday's rally.
Bears could target the 20-day EMA between the weekly and monthly pivot point, with a stop above yesterday's high.

Indecisive price action has resulted in sideways congestion on the daily chart.
RSI (relative strength indicator) is flat and reading close to 50 (mid-point) highlighting the fact that we are non- trending.
We expect a reversal in this move.

20% move on WDS incoming?WDS has formed a descending wedge with bullish RSI divergence and is also hitting support from the bottom of this channel at $27. While the channel itself is bearish WDS should still expect a strong bounce here. Wait for a break of trend and retest for confirmation and if breaks down out of channel it will continue to move lower due to bearish monthly RSI divergence so no trade. Good luck 🍀

ASX 200 futures looks set for a bullish breakoutThe SPI 200 shows an established uptrend on the 1-hour chart, with a recent bullish engulfing candle forming a higher low around the 20-bar EMA and closing above a retracement line.
The RSI remains above 50 to show positive momentum, and there are no obvious signs of a topping pattern forming on the chart.
A break above 7907 assumes bullish continuation and brings the 7936 high into focus, a break above which opens up a run for the all-time high.
Bulls could seek dips within the recent bullish engulfing candle whilst prices remain above its low, in anticipation of a break above 7907.

SPI 200 hints at bullish breakoutPrices have been coiling on the daily chart to form a potential bullish pennant / symmetrical triangle, which hints at further gains. RSI (14) remains over 50 on the daily chart, and volumes were lower during the consolidation to show lack of conviction from bears, sellers stepping in at the cycle highs.
The 1-hour chart shows prices retracing lower after RSI (2) reached overbought, alongside a bearish pinbar at the cycle high. We're now looking for price to either hold above the triangle breakout level, or for RSI (2) to reach oversold whilst prices hold above the high-volume node.
From here, the bias is for a rise to 7850m or the weekly pivot point just above the high-volume node at 7866.
