ThinkTechnical 27 August


A topical look at technical analysis factors for a number of key markets, and ASX stocks of interest for 27 August.



A bumper edition of ThinkTechnical today. Basically, if a company's chart meets the criteria - it goes in.

So, on that basis, let's take a look at the technical picture for Life360 (360), Aristocrat Leisure (ALL), Altium (ALU), Asx (ASX), Aventus Group (AVN), Breville Group (BRG), Csl (CSL), Enero Group (EGG), Galaxy Resources (GXY), Lynas Corporation (LYC), and Wesfarmers (WES).

 

Life360 (360)

Life360 (360) 27 Aug 2020

Life360 is in a well-defined short term uptrend, as evidenced by the 21 EMA located above the 34 EMA and with each EMA rising. The long term trend is undefined, as evidenced the 144 EMA located below the 233 EMA but with each EMA rising. It is likely that these EMAs cross in the near future, therefore initiating a new long term uptrend.

Static resistance will be encountered at the 24 Aug 2020 high of 4.030.

Static support will be encountered at the 26 Aug 2020 low of 3.630.

Note that static support at 3.630 coincides with dynamic short term support expected to be encountered in the zone defined by the 21-34 EMAs, projected between 3.500 and 3.700. Whenever multiple support factors coincide, the market response at the zone defined by these factors tends to be stronger.

Beyond 4.030, 360 has little in the way of key price action-based static resistance points to impede upside progress. Note however, static resistance will likely be encountered at the 5.000 round number.

Traders may wish to buy at the static and dynamic support zones with stops set below these levels. If this cannot be achieved, then traders may have to consider buying on a breach of today's high of 4.030.

 

Aristocrat Leisure (ALL)

Aristocrat Leisure (ALL) 27 Aug 2020

Aristocrat Leisure is in a well-defined short term uptrend, as evidenced by the 21 EMA located above the 34 EMA and with each EMA rising. The long term trend is undefined, as evidenced the 144 EMA located below the 233 EMA but with each EMA rising. It is likely that these EMAs cross in the near future, therefore initiating a new long term uptrend.

Static support will be encountered at the 17 Aug 2020 low of 27.31, which coincides with the 03 Jul 2020 high of 27.16.

The dynamic short term support zone is defined by the 21-34 EMAs, projected between 27.40 and 28.00. The price has been consistently rebounding higher out of the short term dynamic support zone since the short term uptrend began in July. This highlights the importance of this zone as a future area of potential dynamic short term support going forwards.

The dynamic long term resistance zone is defined by the 21-34 EMAs, projected between 27.40 and 27.80. The price has been consistently rebounding lower out of the long term dynamic resistance zone since the long term downtrend began in April. The key issue now, is that the price is currently trading above this zone. If this situation continues, the zone may well switch from offering dynamic long term resistance to offering dynamic long term support.

Targets are to the 20 Feb 2020 high of 38.23. Beyond 38.23, ALL is at all-time highs, and therefore targets are open ended. Note however, static resistance will likely be ecountered at the 40.00 round number.
