15/4/23.  Saturday Finspiration Report. 

XJO up on Friday.  Dow Jones down on Friday night.

XJO, after starting on the down-side on Friday, finished on the high-side, up +0.51%.  It remains stalled at horizontal resistance where it's been for the past three days.

The trend remains up - so stay with the trend until we see definite signs of a pull-back.

Overnight in America.

Dow Jones -0.42%.  SP500 -0.21%.  Nasdaq -0.36%.  Mid Caps -0.52%.  Small Caps -0.79%.  Banks +1.09%.

SP500.

Last night's candle was a "doji" indicating indecision.

SP500 is stalling at horizontal resistance and CCI is showing negative divergence.

DZ Stochastic has marginally broken below its upper Zone line - the first suggestion of a "sell" signal.  This needs confirmation by a move by RSI below its middle line - its 20-Day MA.

Commodities.

Not much movement in Commodities except for Gold.

Commodities Index +0.12%.  Energy +0.09%.  Base Metals +0.1%.  Agriculture +0.19%.  Gold -1.77%.

The Gold chart has left and "evening star" doji candle-stick from Thursday night.  That's often a sign of a pull-back.  But the chart has been left sitting on the 20-Day MA - so it could bounce here.

Overnight in the U.S., BHP was down -1.79% and Rio was down -1.89%.

Bitcoin.

Bitcoin in USD was up +0.63% last night and remains bullish.

(I don't have an up-to-date chart yet, but will put one up when it becomes availble.)

 14/4/23.  Friday Morning Finspiration Report.

U.S. records another solid upside move.

Dow Jones +1.14%.  SP500 +1.33%.  Nasdaq +1.99%.  Mid Caps +0.69%.  Small Caps +0.84%.  Banks +0.73%.

SP500.

The SP500 remains in a strong upside rally, but the negative divergence on CCI suggests it may be on its last legs.

SP500 had a good run, but it might be too late to start buying into this rally now.  I'll be waiting on a pull-back.

Commodities.

Commodities Index +0.00%.  Energy -0.74%.  Base Metals +1.84%.  Agriculture -0.48%.  Gold +1.35&.

After 30 minutes of trading this morning, XJO is down marginally -.03%, it's never a good sign when the Oz market starts weak after a strong night on Wall Street.

Bitcoin.

Bitcoin continues on its merry (bullish) way, up last night +1.68%.  It has successfully tested major horizontal support/resistance.  I'd expect more upside.

Finspiration Australia.

 13/4/23.  Thursday Evening Finspiration Report.

Australian market was down modestly today.  XJO -0.27%.

Yesterday, XJO hit horizontal resistance and today retreated a little.  Today's candle is an "inside day", suggesting indecision.  Tomorrow's action could decide which way the market goes for the next few days.

Stochastic is showing a negative divergence from the chart, which suggests the next move will be to the downside.e

Only three sectors were up today, Energy +0.9%, Info.Tech. +1% and Property +0.4%.

The worst today, surprisingly, was Staples -1.2%.  That sector was in the overbought zone of the RSI so there might be some profit taking occurring in Staples.  Today's candle was a big bearish engulfing candle which suggests more downside in Staple.

 13/4/23.  Thursday Morning Finspiration Report.

U.S. weakens overnight despite favourable inflation numbers for interest rates.

Dow Jones -0.11%.  SP500 -0.41%.  Nasdaq -0.85%.  Mid Caps -0.5%.  Small Caps -0.78%.  Banks -0.77%.

SP500.

Last night's candle is a bearish engulfing candle, but the Index remains within the confines of its sideways consolidation.  No real damage done yet.  

RSI and DZ Stock are turned down but still haven't given any "sell" signals.  Wait to see how this breaks from its consolidation.

Commodities.

Commodities Index +0.78%.  Energy +1.42%.  Base Metals +0.72%.  Agriculture _0.34%.  Gold +0.49%.

Resources stocks might save Australia from much damage today.

After an hour of trading this morning, XJO is down just -0.07%.

Finspiration Australia.

 12/4/23.  Wednesday Evening Finspiration Report.

XJO was up moderately today, +0.47%.

XJO is in a strong up-trend.  Today it reached a horizontal resistance level and encountered some intra-day selling.

The Index remains above the 50-Day Moving Average so we might see the Index come  back and test that as support.  If that test is successful and the index bounces - we should see more upside.

RSI and DZ Stock are both strong and in no danger at this stage of giving a sell signal.

Stay with the trend.

12/4/23.  Bitcoin Sinspiration Report.

 Bitcoin up again last night, +4.64%.

The chart remains bullish - stay with the trend.

 12/3/23.  Tuesday Morning Finspiration Report.

U.S markets mixed overnight.  Rio up >5% in London.

Dow Jones +0.29%.  SP500 -0.00%.  Nasdaq -40%.  The front-line troops of the market (Mid Caps and Small Caps) were both positive.  Mid Caps +0.89%.  Small Caps +0.73%.  Banks were also positive, +1.28%.

SP500.

SP500 has bounced off the 8-Day EMA, - that's a positive.  In the very short-term, however, Hull MA13 has turned down.  Watch for direction in the next session as today's candle was a doji - indecision.

U.S. is coming up to important inflation data which will likely be market moving.

SP500 remains in an up-trend - above the 8-Day EMA and Supertrend.

Commodities.

Commodities Index +0.54%.  Energy +0.87%.  Base Metals -0.31%.  Agriculture +0.68%.  Gold +0.63%.

ASX Futures point to a positive opening this morning, +0.25%.

We should have another positive day today.
