Technical Analysis (Gann Charts) - Dow and All Ords Stumble

Source: http://ozstock.blogspot.com

Here is the next monthly update on the Dow and All Ords using Gann angles to analyse future trend. Before looking into the charts, a quick check of the Seasonal Time Periods from Gann shows that we are nowhere close to any important dates. We are now between the August 5th and the September 22 dates (see future blog for complete Seasonal Time Periods)

Firstly, looking at the All Ords, the last 4 weeks has clearly broken the Gann +1/2 angle, question is if it will drop down. The past 4 weeks have also convincing broken the Gann -32 downtrend line and has pushed the 20 day moving average envelope to the limits. So this has been a strong trend that may retrace back to the Gann +1/2 but currently there is no evidence to suggest a stronger, longer pullback although the news seem to suddenly turn negative in the media.



Secondly, the Dow show a similar behaviour, in the past 4 weeks, it convincingly broke the Gann -10 downtrend angle. It may still plunge towards the intersection of the Gann -10 and Gann +10 angles but there is no current evidence to support this. It is also between the two major uptrend Gann angle of Gann +10, Gann +20. Should the upward trend continue, the Gann -5 downtrend angle may be a good reference to look for.



This week will see many Australian companies release their annual results. This will truly test the sentiment and so even though the trend is strongly upward over the last 4 weeks, the fundamentals may have a say this week.
