The S&P/ASX 200 closed 9.4 points lower, down 0.11%.

The ASX 200 slipped as markets paused into the weekend, with investors weighing ongoing uncertainty around Middle East negotiations despite a temporary extension to US deadlines. Oil remained elevated and volatility persisted, leaving the market largely rangebound after a strong mid-week rebound.

In stock specific news:

  • Whitehaven Coal (WHC) (+4.9%) — rallied after a UBS upgrade to “buy” citing gas-to-coal switching dynamics.

  • Vulcan Energy Resources (VUL) (+3.0%) — gained after reporting full-year profit ahead of analyst expectations.

  • Duratec (DUR) (+3.7%) — rose after securing a $45 million contract with Lihir Gold.

  • Weebit Nano (WBT) (-15.9%) — plunged after completing an $87 million capital raise, with shares trading below the placement price.

  • Syrah Resources (SYR) (-12.4%) — fell following the close of a $61 million capital raise.

ASX 200 (XJO) intraday chart 27 Mar
ASX 200 Session Chart

The S&P/ASX 200 (XJO) finished 9.4 points lower at 8,516.3, 0.72% from its session low and just 0.11% from its high. In the broader-based S&P/ASX 300 (XKO) advancers lagged decliners by 105 to 176.

For the week, the XJO finished up 87.9 points or 1.0% higher, a tidy 3.1% from its intraweek low and just 0.56% from its intraweek high. Many would be surprised to see a weekly gain... It could have been far worse!

Energy (XEJ) (+0.9%) remained firm despite a slight dip in crude prices, continuing to benefit from ongoing supply uncertainty tied to the Middle East conflict. It’s been the place to be through this period, and even on quieter days it continues to hold up. Whitehaven Coal (WHC) (+4.9%) and New Hope Corp. (NHC) (+4.0%) led gains.

Consumer Staples (XSJ) (+0.4%) edged higher as a defensive pocket of the market, while Utilities (XUJ) (+0.4%) also firmed in sympathy with energy-linked themes. These sectors continue to quietly grind higher in the background of a volatile macro environment. Coles Group (COL) (+0.6%) and AGL Energy (AGL) (+0.5%) were notable movers.

Resources (XJR) (+0.4%) gained on strength in iron ore names and a surge in lithium stocks, with lithium prices in China pushing back toward short-term highs. Fortescue (FMG) (+1.7%) benefited from a rating upgrade to outperform from neutral at Macquarie. IGO (IGO) (+3.9%) and PLS Group (PLS) (+3.6%) led gains in lithium.

Information Technology (XIJ) (-1.5%) remained under pressure as the market continues to shun high-growth, high-PE names. There’s simply no appetite there at the moment. Weebit Nano (WBT) (-15.9%) and Nextdc (NXT) (-7.9%) led losses, while Catapult Sports (CAT) (-6.8%) also fell.

Gold Sub-Index (XGD) (-1.5%) continued its pullback as the inflation narrative stabilised. Kingsgate Consolidated (KCN) (-4.9%) and Genesis Minerals (GMD) (-3.9%) were among the weaker names.

Real Estate (XPJ) (-0.9%) softened as rising bond yields continued to weigh on rate-sensitive sectors. Aspen Group (APZ) (-7.1%) was a notable laggard.

In commodities, gold rose in Asian trade, gaining 1.9% to US$4,459/oz, while silver climbed 3.2% to US$70.10/oz as precious metals stabilised after recent volatility.

Copper also strengthened in Asian trade, rising 1.0% to US$5.36/lb, while iron ore slipped 0.6% in Singapore trade to US$106.8/t.

Brent crude eased 0.35% in Asian trade to US$101.52/bbl but remains near recent highs, keeping energy markets finely balanced.

Lithium prices surged in China trade, with GFEX lithium carbonate futures jumping 5.4% to 167,220 CNY/t, while spodumene concentrate rose 1.1% to US$2,235/t. The strength flowed through to lithium names including Vulcan Energy Resources (VUL) (+3.5%), Elevra Lithium (ELV) (+3.2%) and Liontown Resources (LTR) (+3.2%).

Analysis

Min 67% cash 💵

Max 33% Risk = Longs + SHORTS ✅

I'd say, not a terrible place to be.

But what does one do now? 🤔

Same as we've always done: Analyse + Accept + Act.

The patented Capolingua 3 A's of Investing. Well, patent pending! 😉

You know what... Let's do it right now:

A1 = Do the checklist, try to work out whether the demand- or supply-side is in control of the price. 🧐

  • ST trend ribbon ⬇️ + price is below the ST trend ribbon + short term trend ribbon is acting as a zone of dynamic supply ⚠️

  • LT trend ribbon ➡️ price is below the ST trend ribbon + short term trend ribbon is acting as a zone of dynamic supply ⚠️

  • Price action = falling peaks and falling troughs = supply reinforcement and demand removal = sell the rally + 🚫FOMO + 🚫HOFU + 🚫BTD ⚠️

  • Candles are predominantly supply-side in nature (i.e., black-bodied and or upward pointing shadows = pervasive programmed sell orders dominant + ✅STR + 🚫FOMO + 🚫HOFU + 🚫BTD ⚠️

A2 = Determine the MOTN (More Often Than Not) outcome from A1, then ACCEPT IT!

  • ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

  • ✅STR + 🚫FOMO + 🚫HOFU + 🚫BTD

  • = MOTN 📉

Do we say:

  • What if it bounces? 🫣

  • What if stocks are cheap here? 🤷

  • It's too late to follow the trend now! 😭

  • But the experts are saying... 🧐

  • If I get out now / go short now... it's guaranteed to be the bottom!!! 🤦

Nope, we say:

  • I can't tell the future — nobody can. I can't control the market — I can only control how I act in the markets.

  • I have a system that works MOTN — why doubt it? I have only one job: follow my system. It won't work out the way I want every time, but I know that if I stick to it, I will come out ahead in the long run. Considering this, why wouldn't I just follow the bloody system!?

  • Okay then, I ACCEPT that MOTN = 📉. If it's not, so be it! I have the risk management tools to limit my losses and get risk back in if need be 🧘

Which brings us to A3... 👇

View

No change to my 1/3RP view for US stocks (RP = Risk Position — it reflects my personal allowable capital allocation limit for my investments in US stocks. So 1/2RP is 50%, 2/3RP is 67% and FRP is 100% 🪣).

Key levels

With the close below 21522, there is sufficient evidence that the long term trend ribbon is now behaving as a zone of dynamic excess supply = my model officially calls the commencement of a long term downtrend.

The next key point of demand is 20906-21033. We'll watch the price action and candles closely there for signs excess demand is indeed manifesting itself.

The long- and short-term downtrend ribbon combination (presently 21792-22461) is the nearest critical zone of supply. We must see a long white-bodied candle closing at least above the short term trend ribbon to indicate the demand-side is any chance of being back in control of the Comp's price.

ASX 200 (XJO) chart 27 Mar

Analysis

What did I say yesterday?

I put to you: today’s only very modest pullback is a very good outcome… It could have been worse.

Ditto today.

When the leads are bearish, nothing is often something. To elaborate, when the MOTN is clearly skewed to the downside, and there’s a bit of bad news around that would be perceived by most as being bearish — yet prices land flat on the day — that carries with it some meaningful information.

We had some credible supply-side oriented leads from overseas markets to contend with this morning, but after 11:45am it was largely one-way traffic — of the excess demand kind.

Result: downward pointing shadow. ✅

Modest, to be sure — but it shows the demand that kicked in on Monday at the depths of despair (i.e., at 8262!!!) is still influential in the system. Equally, it shows the supply-side is notably absent for now.

That doesn’t mean they won’t reengage at some point — perhaps even aggressively — simply that they appear comfortable there’s no pressing need to flee for the exits just right now.

You might think that bear markets are all crash, bang, boom! 💥💥💥

(Hey, I’m not saying we’re in a bear market, but stay with me here…)

They’re generally not. Rather, they’re typically volatile beasts, prone to sharp downswings, counter trend short-covering and trying-to-pick-the-bottom rallies, plus periods of nervous, listless stagnation.

You’ll even find that sometimes things even start to look good again… the light breaks through the clouds… only for those clouds to close in once more… and… ⛈️

I know I only played this one a little while back… but it fits in so well here… I love that line from Marky-Mark… “Skip, I think we’re going to make it!

The bottom line is, trend followers know all this, and we’re prepared to give up a bit of price to gain a great deal of confidence a new trend is in place. Until then, we bunker down and prepare for the storm to continue.

We hope for the best, but prepare for the worst

So, with the checklist for the Old Tin Pot still showing a bunch of ⚠️ emoji’s and not enough FOMO, HOFU & BTD — I remain hopeful that today’s candle is emblematic of a growing risk appetite for Aussie shares.

Yet, I remain prepared for the growing short- and long term downtrends to close in — and for the (“Perfect”?) storm to continue! 🛟

View

No change to my prevailing OTP risk bucket setting: 1/3RP 🪣 (i.e., my personal allowable capital allocation limit for my investments in Australian stocks is 33%).

Key levels

8284 is the closest zone of demand (static). The ASX 200 must at least close back above the short- and long term uptrend ribbons (presently 8679-8746. and 8663-8752 respectively) to reclaim any semblance of demand-side control.
