Record day for the Nasdaq after a two week push higher in the equity markets not to forget the much-needed boost from a stellar rise in the U.S jobs number. Asian markets were higher on Wednesday morning reaching a new three month high while U.S futures inched higher.
All eyes will turn to the U.S Federal Reserve (FED) interest decision tonight at 20:00 SAST which is widely expected to remain unchanged. Volatility is expected tonight if the FOMC statement leans toward a more hawkish outlook going forward which might see the U.S Dollar gain momentum.
In this note you will find the technical analysis from our market analyst, Barry Dumas:
The Wall Street 30 Technical Analysis
The market rallied after the NFP report showed a surprise and unexpected rise in U.S unemployment and the Wall Street 30 was no exception. The Index hit our second target price which was highlighted in our U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) release – 5 June 2020.
Technical points to look out for on the Daily Wall Street 30:
- The Wall Street 30 price action has reached our second target price of 26721 after the NFP jobs report was released. This level will be watched closely for a support to the price action.
- The 50-day SMA (blue line) is pointing higher supporting the momentum higher.
- The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has reached overbought levels but this is in no way a signal to go short as overbought levels can continue for weeks at a time.
- If the FED statement at 20:00 SAST tonight is perceived as positive, then we might see another leg higher to our third possible target price of 28123. If not, then our previous target prices will become support levels to watch.
