WallStreet30 Technical Analysis

Record highs, the Global market rally seems to be taking effect for now as Asian markets overtake January highs as U.S earnings impress, and the new fiscal stimulus package is set to lead the road to recovery.

The Biden administration is set to spend close to $1.9 trillion to kick-start the U.S economy which has seen U.S bond yields higher and global investors load up on equities. U.S Futures are gaining momentum in early morning trade while the U.S Dollar (DXY) continues to lose steam.

The U.S Fed has indicated it would tolerate CPI rising above the benchmark inflation rate of 2% temporarily, which has seen investors speculating that interest rates could remain low. U.S CPI data will be released today at 15:30 SAST and Core CPI (YoY) is expected to increase to 1.5%.

Here is what’s expected this week:

The Wall Street 30 Technical Analysis

The Wall Street 30 has pushed higher after finding support at our 30506 level of interest and could reach our possible target price of 31595 before the week is out. Prices are driven higher by the Biden administration’s fiscal stimulus plans which will see Index prices even higher when implemented.

• The price action on the WS30 could move lower as market participants take profits ahead of the CPI data release and U.S market open later this afternoon. The WS30 price action over the last week seems to be very volatile at the open but finds buyers before the close into the Asian session which should be taken note off by traders.
• The WS30 is closing in on our possible target price at 31595 which could be reached before the end of the week.
• The 50-day SMA (blue line) is pointing higher and below price supporting the move higher.
• The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has pushed higher and is consolidating at overbought levels, which should not necessarily be construed as a signal to sell as overbought levels could remain on the RSI for weeks on end if a healthy trend is in place.
