OVERNIGHT MARKET SNAPSHOT FOR TUESDAY 23/08/22
US Indexes took a big hit overnight as recession fears reared its ugly head again. Bears followed on from where they left off last week as recent buyers locked away some gains ahead of Jackson Hole Symposium where Powell is set to give a speech Friday. The USD continued higher on inflation and interest rate rise concerns while also getting a boost from some safe haven buying. US Bond yields also moved higher and bond prices lower as traders re-adjust for higher interest rates than potentially previously expected. Gold continued to chug lower with most of the selling done in the Asian and European sessions. Oil fended off a big flush into support below the $87 area and bounced straight back up again into the US close…this is not a bad sign for longer term bulls as fears of a pending selloff would have hit oil also.

The SPI200/ASX200 added to the day sessions woes and pushed down into 6897 before a minor bounce into the US close. Price is being anchored down at 6920 so bulls will need to break this level prior to any squeeze higher. If they can not, then the bias remains down and I expect a drift lower potentially into 6870. (Refer to the Trade The Structure members area for weekly updated ASX200 charts) The DOW opened weak and continued down during the US session. Price did react up off support around 32975 but I expect a good flush of teh level before any respectable rally can get underway. The anchor to the move down is at 33270. The US Tech 100 also continued down during the US session and moved into 12820 major support. Like the DOW, I want to see a good flush of 12820 and then minor higher lows before I can expect a squeeze on shorts. Price is extended into the level so expecting to see shorts get trapped. The Hang Seng held up okay in the European and US sessions considering other major markets were on the ropes and getting sold off. Two key levels for the open are 19670 and 19565. After yesterdays rally off key support, I expect an early flush lower and then potentially another squeeze higher. The Nikkei was biased down all night holding lower highs all the way down. Price is in no mans land for me but I see that if a lower high holds on the open, then we could see a push down into 28205.
Cryptos held up okay considering the unwind into major share markets. It seems that bears did the damage on Friday and over the weekend but buyers are not willing to ramp price higher yet. Expecting to see Bitcoin flush into 20885 and then continue lower while Ethereum may need a flush higher to clear out some sellers prior to another leg down.
Spot Gold continues to disappoint gold bugs and moves lower. Price is being anchored down at 1757 and managed to fend off more selling in the US session. If price holds below 1757 then I expect to see a continued push lower into 1715. Crude Oil had a choppy session with price flushing lower to clear out some buyers before bouncing straight back up again. Price is holding 91.05 for now but I feel that it is only a matter of time before the break higher as the daily chart is quite bullish to me. USD Index continues to make its way higher as price also finds a safe haven bid as share markets fall over. Price is within striking distance of making new daily highs so I expect to see the momentum up be enough to see price trade up through 109.260.
