The global markets have been rattled over the past year with many issues which don't need repeating however recently there was major banking scandals in Australia with Westpac (ASX:WBC) having breached the money laundering laws 23 million times.
This chart is very interesting from a technical standpoint as it shows big selling pressure at a key resistance level over a very long time; 12 years to be precise.
Over the weeks the sellers have continued to come in with pressure at the major resistance zone. This week showed a nasty amount of bear volume coming in. The question is will it continue??
We don't know yet as always but ill just say that a double top on the weekly chart is one of the most powerful sell signals you can see from a technical stand point.. so I am looking to get short and have already moved my super into cash as a precaution because the downside risk is very high in my opinion.
What I'm waiting for is simply the weekly chart to turn into a negative trending territory for a longer term trade.
For a shorter term trade the daily chart we possibly has an entry right now as the bears came in and broke the trend and now we have come back and retested.
