[2 min read] Dear Reader, At the start of the year, it looked like the ASX 200 was finally breaking out of its two-year range. It was short-lived. The ASX 200 is up 2% since December 2023. Big whoop. That could disappear in a day’s trading. That said, history shows a breakout is due. When it happens, you want to be able to read the early momentum to trade it. To do that, it’s handy to understand momentum and how it evolves over time.
If you have the patience to wait for momentum to be on your side you have a far higher chance of success. If you can avoid battling weak momentum your stress levels will fall. In today’s Closing Bell video I dive into an analysis of weekly momentum. I look at the ASX 200 going back a few decades using the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator. In it you will see how many great opportunities there were over the last few decades to join an upswing early. You will also see how often you received an early warning sign that momentum was waning. There isn’t an indicator in existence that will turn the trading game into a money making machine. But there are indicators that can help you to trade with the market’s momentum and avoid the worst mistakes that many amateurs make. Check out today’s Closing Bell video by clicking on the picture above and be sure to like the video on YouTube if it added some value to your day. Regards,

Advertisement: An Important Update
on ‘NOT ZERO’
Last September 2023, we released a controversial energy expose, titled ‘NOT ZERO’
We said:
‘There’s a big energy U-turn coming. Anti-fossil fuel policies could soon be scrapped. Investment in mining exploration will likely skyrocket. Commodity prices will soar. And oil and gas stock prices could go vertical.’
It was spot on.
The U-turn is happening all over the world. Green policies are getting scrapped. Oil and gas stocks are on the rise.
Now, we’re releasing a CRITICAL UPDATE to the Not Zero thesis.
Because there’s a new ‘tipping point’ that could send oil and gas stocks back up...
