The S&P/ASX 200 closed 70.7 points higher, up +0.80%.

The market shook off an early wobble to steadily gain throughout the session and close near the daily highs.

Banks and miners offset broad weakness across rate-sensitive sectors, particularly in Consumer Discretionary (XDJ) (-1.1%).

Resources (XJR) (+3.7%), continued to climb, led by South32 (S32) (+6.2%) and Northern Star Resources (NST) (+6.2%). Energy (XEJ) (+3.1%) followed, with Yancoal Australia (YAL) (+9.0%) and Woodside Energy Group (WDS) (+3.1%) among the standouts (coal stocks were generally very good).

Gold (+2.7%) and silver (+3.7%) extended their rally to 2-days, as precious metals prices continued to recover.

Elsewhere, Information Technology (XIJ) (-9.4%), continued its tumble, with Xero (XRO) (-15.9%) and WiseTech Global (WTC) (-10.7%) extending their own mounting losses.

In stock specific news, Amcor (AMC) (+3.5%) firmed after its Q2 earnings result, while Pinnacle Investment (PNI) (+3.2%) rose after its 1H26 result; Neuren Pharmaceuticals (NEU) (0.0%) entered a trading halt after news of a negative trend vote in its European regulatory submission on Tuesday.

ASX200 Chart 4 Feb
ASX 200 Session Chart

The S&P/ASX 200 (XJO) finished 78.7 points higher at 8,927.8 , 1.08% from its session low and just 0.18% from its session high. Despite the strong performance in the benchmark index, in the broader-based S&P/ASX 300 (XKO), decliners beat advancers by a disturbing 173 to 107.

Fund flows: What's the emergency this time!? 🚑🚨

*9.4%*

That’s how much the Information Technology (XIJ) sector fell today. 🤯

Here are the XIJ biggest 1-day percentage falls since 2000 (note, ASX 200 sector indices only began in 2000):

  1. 17/04/2000 -24.1% (part of the Dot-com crash)

  2. 04/04/2000 -11.5% (ditto Dot-com…)

  3. 16/03/2020 -10.5% (COVID-19 crash)

  4. 17/09/2001 -9.8% (ditto Dot-com…)

  5. 18/03/2020 -9.8% (ditto COVID…)

  6. 05/04/2000 -9.5% (ditto Dot-com…)

  7. 04/02/2026 -9.4% Today!

Today was the seventh-largest one-day fall in the XIJ’s history, and the first that isn’t related to the 2000-2002 Dot-com bear market, or the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic calamity.

Arguably, those two historical events were pretty heavy stuff. They will be remembered 100 years from now and will studied by finance students for probably that long.

But what about today? 🤔

What’s so special about now… Why the sudden and overwhelming about-face in these stocks which started in the back half of last year?

Beats me. Don’t know. Don’t care. 🤷

Sorry if you wanted something more insightful there — but you’re asking the wrong person. Maybe go ask a fundamental analyst… They’ll probably tell you about the brutal rotation out of the ASX long duration as local bond yields have rocketed. (Note the timing in the chart below: if you read Evening Wrap, you knew all about this shortly after it started happening, and you've been reminded nearly daily since! 💪).

Perhaps, they’ll discuss that the sector was just plain overvalued… or that some of the key stocks are far from the forefront of the AI revolution and are therefore being sold in favour of the many global players that are. Sure, our ASX tech stocks will be AI adopters, but they’re hardly AI innovators, nor are they the hardware manufacturers that aim to sell "shovels to the miners" as the old saying goes...

All I know, is that around August last year, the charts of the major players in the sector started to flatten out their previous heady ascents, and then rather quickly, they rolled over.

Xero (XRO) (-16%) for example — the stock arguably responsible for seeding today’s tech-wreck with its disappointing investor briefing — first appeared as a Downtrend in my ChartWatch ASX Scans on 25-August 2025 at a price of $169. It first "Featured", i.e., my highest conviction downtrend, on 25-Aug, and has since appeared (regular and feature) roughly 50 times since.

50 times, about 6 months. That’s roughly twice a week! (For those who attend my ChartWatch *LIVE* Webinars... that's plenty of "-R" opportunities — but just as many short selling opportunities too! 😉)

You’ll find similar ChartWatch ASX Scans records for the other major techs that were hobbled today, like Wisetech Global (WTC) (-11.7%), Technology One (TNE) (-10.5%), and Pro Medicus (PME) (-6.3%) (I know, that one’s a Healthcare stock!).

Anyways… the charts possibly told us more of a story about major fund flows than any of the fundamentals available to most average investors. Let’s face it — we’re probably going to be the last one’s to know when the fundamentals have changed… It's not like the big funds are going to send us a snap on SnapChat!

But, we have something even better: S > D = P ⬇️

Analysis

Volatility ⬆️

Volume ⬆️

Price ⬇️

Not a great combination! And, as per the last 4 candles, Tuesday’s candle demonstrated significant indecision.

Neither demand, nor supply-side control (but arguably, more of the latter than the former!).

Tuesday’s range was the largest since the 20-Nov 2025 wipe out, although, substantially smaller. But it’s a signal that something’s not right here… that the forces of demand and supply driving the Comp are far from in agreement.

Consider Tuesday’s large black body and downward pointing shadow, for example… Motivated excess supply knocking prices down early in the session, followed by modest buy the dip. The elevated volume suggests both parties were active.

Investors are in two minds as to whether it’s best to stay or go.

Flows are a reflection of the underlying fundamentals = Just as murky!

The bottom line for me is:

  • Short term trend, price action, and candles are indicating a growing equilibrium ⚠️

  • I’ve already moved to a more conservative stance = 2/3RP but suspended the addition of new risk ⚖️

  • Clear point defined where RP reduces 👎

  • Clear point defined where RP increases 👍

  • Long term trend remains intact ✅

There’s really isn’t much else to do but wait for further evidence that either the demand- or supply-side id growing in control of price. Alert but not alarmed! 🧐

View

On Monday, I said: I am on hold for the addition of new long-side portfolio risk, but officially, remain at my 2/3RP portfolio risk limit 🪣. I think this is still prudent until we get at least one more demand-side confirmation candle. (RP = Risk Position — it reflects my personal allowable capital allocation limit for my investments in US stocks)

Key levels

The next zone of demand is 22692-916. If the Comp closes below that zone, we can assume the supply side is in control and it would trigger a move in my portfolio risk limit to 1/2RP. On a close below 21898 the long term uptrend is likely under significant pressure = ⚠️. 23722-24020 is the nearest critical zone of supply — the Comp must close within/above this zone with a strong demand-side candle to confirm the demand-side is unequivocally back in control of the Comp's price. If so, then it would trigger a move to FRP (i.e., Full Risk Position of 100% invested! 🤞).

S&P/ASX 200 (XJO)

ASX 200 (XJO) chart 4 Feb

Analysis

I can’t remember the last time the Comp and the ASX 200 logged such opposing signals in their candles — at least, not with us shooting the lights out after they were so terrible!

But! You can definitely chalk one up for the Old Tin Pot today! 💪

That’s a very decent candle. Improving on yesterday — and as I requested yesterday — recouping most of the 8972 to 8746 pullback.

8979 still looms a little large… Price action and volume showed us there was some very decent supply that originated from there just a few candles ago. Today’s strong close, however, implies that it no longer appears active around that level.

Can I call it a "stunning" turnaround? 🤔

It’s hard to be stunned by anything in markets these days… But let’s go with “unexpected”, or how about “LOTN”! (Less Often Than Not!)

But it’s happening. And assuming the Comp / US markets more generally don’t blow up to derail our budding short term uptrend again… one probably should close one’s eyes and just go with it! 🙈

Okay… close ‘em real tight... Hold my hand… Here we goooooo!!! 🎢

View

I remain comfortable at 2/3RP 🪣 (i.e., my personal allowable capital allocation limit for my investments in Australian stocks is 67%).

Key levels

The short term trend ribbon is the closest zone of (dynamic) demand (presently 8800-8832). 8746 is the closest static point of demand. A close below the short term uptrend ribbon would neutralise the present short term uptrend, while a close below 8675 almost certainly would end it. The October all-time highs around 9110-9116 is the next key zone of supply.
