Weekend Charting and Chat. 29Feb/1Mar

In Australia yesterday:

We've now had six days down in a row. We rarely get more than seven days down in a row. RSI is at 20.24.

Overnight in the U.S.

Dow Jones -1.39%. SP500 -0.82%. Nasdaq +0.01%. Small Caps -1.67%.

RSIs for three out of four indices are in "miracle needed" zone, i.e., below 20. Rarely do we see that level without a rebound.

SP500:

The day's trading was characterised by wild swings, with SP500 finishing well above its opening level.

ROC(2), first panel below the Index chart, is showing a possible positive divergence. A positive day on Monday would provide a short-term buy signal.

Commodities:

Commodities Index -1.73%. Base Metals -0.22%. Energy -2.12%. Gold -3.65%.

Not much joy in those numbers.

CNN Fear and Greed Index:

Meanwhile, over in the White House, POTUS calls for his miracle worker:
