Re: XAO Analysis
Exactly. A different story. Another story! Not just sub prime. Cost problems. From RIO,
"Underlying earnings for the half fell 6% to US$3.53 billion from US$3.75 billion in the first half of 2006, coming in below market expectations of US$3.7 billion. "
Add to the sub prime; Cost problems, removal of the takeover premium (have a look at AWC, STO, CGJ), credit problems leaking into Aussie wealth management sector.
My point is don't look at just yesterdays problems. There may well be more that you have to think about?
Oh. add to that. Some good old Fashion sell the news after reports

Re: XAO Analysis
In the short term I'm a little different.
I think this is a stronger move than thought.
I'm looking for a larger pattern here,than previous "corrections"
So rather than a 3 wave I'm looking more at a 5 wave initial corrective move.
Of which this is the start.
This is an XAO chart.

Re: XAO Analysis
Sorry no hostility was meant. Boy do I need some sleep. Maybe I'm getting delirious after trading all day and night for a week!! :screwy:
Some how the game changed last week. The reason for the trigger was Sub prime but there is other problems out there and spreading.
Rio Tinto said the cost pressures affecting the entire mining industry carved US$503 million from earnings while rising commodity prices added US$513 million and increased volumes boosted earnings by US$302 million.
The Feb correction looked like a correction and played out like one. Up down then back up on unwinding of hot money ie. China, commodities, carry trade etc.
This one has been a 3 month consolidation then a big down side break after some serious distribution in the Financials. That is Different we have not had that kind of stealthy distribution since the start of the bull run 03.
Yes the Sub prime mess is baked into this market but I have some worries about the Materials selling off after their reports and really that's all that has held us up the last 3 months.
Can you expand on that TH. And why the hostility?

Re: XAO Analysis
I am looking for this index to move higher from here(assuming a low is in place, and if it's not, it's close)
If one draws an ascending straight line along the lows of the last major consolidation of the uptrend and extended it into the future, that is where I would be looking. That coincides with 6300-6350.
Looking also at the chart attached, the market has reached a lower extreme of the cycle such that it only has a very small probability of staying at in the near future. A rally back to the nominal level being the pink line (90 day MA representing the 90 day cycle) that runs through the centre of the price action. Such a target is quite probable(based on earlier extremes either bullish or bearish in the past)
I have a point in time for this for 13-14th August, but not 100% sure of these dates as yet.
Cheers

Re: XAO Analysis
I don't think many would be surprised with some sort of snap back rally but are you saying you expect something more than that?

Re: XAO Analysis
I am saying I am expecting a move back to the range I quoted, then to continue bearishly, assuming this move is a countertrend.

Re: XAO Analysis
They're pumping furiously on two continents right now..
We had the US last night and the night before make a late day charge, and we've had a V curve on the ASX last two days as well. Question is, will there be a Friday afternoon selloff?

Re: XAO Analysis
It's intereting to see that the XAO the Hangseng, Nikkei, Shangai markets etc. have fallen more than the Dow Jones during this correction... What Surprises me is why does an American problem influence the world more than it's own economy?

Re: XAO Analysis
Really good question. Until now, i am still wondering what is really going on here? Correction due to subprime mortgage concern??? But DOW already rebound in 2 days, yet our market still in negatif sentiment area.
Nikkei maybe down due to political problems and subprime concern, but ASX??
I thought only Macquire got this problems, or I might be wrong.

Re: XAO Analysis
Take a look at the DJIA on a chart compared with the indexes you just mentioned (not including Shanghai). Its price action doesn't look the same. Its a very unusual index. Only the 30 largest companies are included and it is price weighted, which means that a $1 move in $20 stock can be offset by a $1 fall in a $100 stock, even though the relative % changes are vastly different. This guy did some good analysis of why its a pretty poor index:

The US market overall is better represented by the S&P500, IMO.

Re: XAO Analysis
If you are correct, and my understanding of EW is still okay, then a 5-wave impulse move down to complete the A (as yet incomplete) would be very telling.
WavePicker...is there any chance of seeing the cycles chart you posted with a log price scale?
I see what its showing but I wonder if it makes this probe below the bottom of the bands look excessive compared with other (so-called) corrections due to the flat price scale?

Re: XAO Analysis
Gorilla I have always questioned myself as to why the DJIA consits of only 30 co's. Why is the media is so concerned with the DOW? And how 30 co's can (losely) represent the US market?

Re: XAO Analysis
), in the last 6 months the XAO is almost a mirror of the S & P 500.
Also, who came up with "standard and poors"? I could think of better names...
I can certainly see the similarities between the XAO and S & P 500 (does it make sense to call the S & P 500 the OEX?
