Re: XAO Analysis

So who was selling off all those better than expected figures......traders?

I would think insto trading would be more likely to be dumping into strength.

Re-test of 990 tonight before coming off further.............
 
Re: XAO Analysis

Sorry, meant this recent dip and the past few days. Sales & trading desks been pretty quiet with no big orders either way.

Interesting Quake.

The markets do look very confused to me at this point. I'm tentatively bearish, but may flip that as of Thursday.
 
Re: XAO Analysis

Not much volume in the market today.For e.g BHP at present time has traded $173m(where at this time in a general market bhp is trading around 280m-330m).Looks like alot of traders are not convinced with low volume trading on the dow last night.
I personally sold alot of stock today (profit taking).Not quite sure to know if the market is consolidating for a new leg up or down.Im personally not confident in the market at the moment,I might take the profits i have made and hold out for a few days for a clearer picture.

It's a tough one. One one hand, it's there for the taking, on the other, wouldn't want to miss a leg up. I'm holding out for the EOD...
 
Re: XAO Analysis

Wow panic has set in at the end of trading,alot of selling,Seems not ALOT of confidence in the market at the moment.;)
And if the dow tanks tonight,there will be a massive pullback tomorrow,Seems to me the correction is taking place now.

No offense mate but if you think that is panic and a lot of selling, you obviously haven't been in the market for very long.

Then, how would you describe the sell off then Real1ty?

Today wasn't panic, but a bit of profit taking i guess.

Actually posted this in another thread but might be interesting. I think China market has been factoring it in the last few weeks

Recent economic growth data show the massive fiscal stimulus program instigated by the Chinese Government has provided a boost to the Chinese economy, especially in the six months to the end of the March quarter this year, but in the view of Standard Chartered there are now signs this boost is quickly fading.

This coincides with the Ministry of Finance dialing back on its monetary policy settings, making what it describes as a "moderate adjustment" without providing much detail on what this actually means. Given concerns it could mean something along the lines of increasing the deposit reserve requirement for banks or even an increase in interest rates, shares in China have sold off heavily in recent weeks.

Explains why our fund managers done so well for everybody this Financial year.:p:I'm glad im not relying on my super for retirement.
