By Michael Gable 

Last week’s rate cut was expected, but the market response caught many off guard. The fact that the market was quite elevated for a while always brought a risk of “buy the rumour, sell the fact” but one must understand the positive implications for the rest of the year and not get caught up in the short-term scare mongering – especially when it comes to stocks like the big four banks. They have been sold off recently and we look at the chart of Commonwealth Bank ((CBA)) in today’s report.

The overall market should find support thereabouts at current levels. You may recall that we did expect levels of around 5650 for the market several weeks ago. Admittedly, we did become a little less bearish over the last few weeks, but the fact that the market found levels that we previously calculated as support means that we are probably seeing a low of some sort here.

 

CBA went on a nice run earlier this year before pulling back. We have noticed that this weekly chart shows it to be back towards the previous swing high which should provide it with some solid support. Over coming weeks, CBA should level around here and resume the uptrend, possibly making a new high before the end of the year as it continues to make higher highs and higher lows.
