Close Out - Big Drop in ASX
Closed out most of my trades today, usually i would roll them out but there hasn’t been any good news on the market for a while, also there was a near 2% drop in the All Ord today. Look at the double top and what I believe is a breakout of the support line (looking at the 3months XAO chart) Better be safe than sorry, so i’m taking my money out of the market and waiting for an signal before re-entering. If tomorrow is a down there, I am pretty sure the XAO will drop to 6000 points, ie another 3-4% drop.
