Yesterday in Australia:
Australia was up strongly yesterday +1.31% after news of a possible treatment for COVID-19 was announced before our market opened and after the U.S. had closed.

That kept the current short-term up-trend alive, but it does appear to be on its last legs. The upsloping wedge is bearish. MACD Histogram is close to turning negative, and the CCI is showing a negative divergence.

Yesterday's rally was led by the Industrials Sector (XNJ) where transport related stocks are located. Sydney Airport (SYD) +8.28%, QANTAS (QAN) +7.2%, Atlas Arteria (ALX) +7.02%, Transurban (TCL) +6.72%, Auckland International Airport (AIA) +4.98%. Seek (SEK), also in this sector, was up +5.19%.

Financials (XXJ), the largest sector in our market, was up an anaemic +0.21%. Three of the four big banks actually went down (CBA, WBC, ANZ). That's hardly a vote of confidence in the underlying strength of our market.

Overnight:
The news about a possible treatment for COVID-19 thrust the American market higher.
Dow Jones +2.99%. SP500 +2.68%. Nasdaq +1.38%. Small Caps +4.51%.

SP500:

SP500 now faces its most important resistance area so far in this rally, dual resistance of the 50-Day MA and the low from 28 February. I'd expect that dual resistance to at least result in a pause in proceedings. Notice that the MACD Histogram has gone negative.

Commodities:

Commodities were generally positive. Commodities Index +0.44%. Base Metals +1.12%. Energy +0.72%. But Gold continued its pull-back from recent highs -1.94%.

CNN Fear and Greed Index
CNN's Fear and Greed Index continues to hover just inside the Fear Quadrant.

If we're to see a pull-back as we saw in 2018 and 2019, now is about the time for it to happen:

Markets are now at an inflection point. The next week should prove whether the bulls or bears prevail.

Some stocks have nearly recovered their loses since the sell off yet the Centerlink queues get longer.
