Australian Securities Exchange (ASX): Elliott Wave Counts and Forecasting
The Australian
Securities Exchange (ASX) is Australia's primary securities exchange. It was created by the
merger of the Australian Stock Exchange and the Sydney Futures Exchange in July
2006.
Today,
ASX has an average daily turnover of $4.685 billion and a market capitalisation
of around A$1.4 trillion, making it one of the world's top-10 listed exchange
groups, comparable to the New York Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange and Deutsche.
In the below daily
chart of ASX, the index is moving up precisely in an upward sloping blue
channel which is positive sign. The formation is also very positive as it is crossing
its previous highs and making a lower bottom.
Using technical
indicators like MACD which is a slow indicator helps to understand when to buy
and when to sell. Here, MACD has given a fresh buy signal, as the moving
average (red) has crossed the trigger line (dotted line) from below. Again the
indicator continues to stay above the equilibrium i.e. 0.
As per wave theory,
prices are moving up in a complex correction from June 2012. In March 2013
prices completed wave W at 5174 levels followed by wave X at 4610 in the month
of June 2013. Currently it is moving up in the form of wave Y in which it is
moving in complex correction (w-x-y).
In short, our view
for ASX is positive as this index can move up till 5550 levels over short term.
