Beach Energy (ASX:BPT) CFD/DFT: Despite poor returns from the energy sector this year, Beach Energy has packed a punch with an 85% return YTD. In the prior report, we had flagged it as one to monitor around the pivotal level of 2.26, as a bounce higher would have reaffirmed the support level in line with the dominant trend. Failing that, it left the potential for a 12c countertrend move. Well, it chosen the former scenario and the 100-day eMA continues to support and prices are considering a break higher.
Wesfarmers (ASX:WES) CFD/DFT: This is one to monitor next week to see if bullish momentum returns. The direct losses from 43 are a concern yet encouraging to see support found around 40.22-40.43. Moreover, this zone coincides with the bullish trendline from the June low, making it a pivotal level to watch.
Invocare (ASX:IVC) CFD/DFT: Prices remains below the bearish trendline and, having broken through support around 13 this week, has now pulled back into this key level. Perhaps we’ll now see it turned into resistance, although traders could consider bearish setups whilst it trades below the bearish trendline and / or the 13.50 high.
Price Action Update
Nanosonics Ltd (ASX:NAN) CFD/DFT (NAN): There’s no denying it, this one failed having broken the wrong way out of compression (down) and straight through the bullish trendline. It remains in a strong sector so may return but, for now, has been removed from the watchlist.
Galaxy Resources Ltd (ASX:GXY) CFD/DFT (GXY): The triple top target around 0.875 has been met and exceeded and prices are now headed for the lows around 0.815-0.830. The bearish channel remains intact, so the bias is for ran eventual break low which pave the way for 0.675. However, we urge cation around current levels as the September lows may beckon profit taking and therefore a rebound over the near-term.
Newcrest Mining Ltd (ASX:NCM) CFD/DFT: 31.49 resistance held and, after some time oscillating sideways is now on route to the target around 28. Thursday’s bearish engulfing candle suggests bears remain I control, so the near-term bias remain bearish whilst 29.93 resistance holds.
Rea Group Ltd (ASX:REA) CFD/DFT: The retracement on this was deeper than we’d have liked and traded above the 106 threshold we’d used to invalidate the idea, before finally falling lower. Price action is now messy so has been removed from the watchlist for now.
Bank Of Queensland (ASX:BOQ) CFD: This was flagged on the 8th November for a likely breakdown and it has not disappointed. After a small consolidation, prices gapped low and bears drove it beneath the 8.02 target. With no signs of mean reversion, it’s vulnerable to snapping back to its mean, so is on the backburner for now.
