 20/6/22.  Oz market up strongly today.

XJO was up today +1.65%.  It broke out above its recent sideways consolidation.  That's a positive.

Volume recently has been very low.  Today saw a rise in volume, albeit off a very low base.  But the rise in volume is another positive.

NewLows/NewHighs were on a par today 7/7.  A break higher for NH-NL could be in the offing.

Advances-Declines continues to be bullish.

Today's action was bullish.  In the very short-term it could be too bullish.  Advances-Declines hit a new high for this year - that's a contrarian sign for a short-term pull-back.

Don't let a short-term pull-back deter you.  The market is performing very well.

XJO was down -0.56% today, but remains in its sideways consolidation pattern.  This can go either way.

Energy +2.4%, and its partner in crime Utilities +1% were the only sectors up today.

Advance-Decline Cumulative remains bullish with the 10-DMA above the 20-DMA.

NH-NL remains below its 10-Day MA.

Until we see NH-NL rise above the 10-Day MA, I'd remain cautious.
