Global Indexes

S&P 500

The S&P 500 lifted vits head at opening to try and break its negative trend, but at the end of the day it was back to its support below its negative trend line. Notice that Frontrunner is still happily moving downwards with no MACD color change. It is however still in oversold territory.

DAX

The DAX responded more positively but could not break its 50-day moving average.

HANG SENG

The HANG SENG tried to lift its head, only to be clobbered back below its 50-day moving average in negative territory.

NYSE & NASDAQ Stocks

Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd

The results of Alibaba gave it a gap upwards, but it made a high wave candle. See lesson 9 on the explanation of a high wave candle.

Microsoft Corporation

High tech stocks remain in a negative trend like Microsoft below a very tight trend line. It is however in oversold territory, but best to wait for a break as confirmation of a turn.

JSE Stocks

JSE All Shares

The JSE All Shares bounced with the Euro stocks, and we will have to see if it lasts after the US fall back.

Sasol Ltd

The strong Brent Crude price finally lifted Sasol with a gap. It closed just above its 200-day moving average in all positive territory. Notice how long its MACD has been trending green.
