Bears Feast at 8,867 - Complete Distribution Confirmed📍 To see my confluences and/or linework: Step 1: Grab chart 👉 Step 2: Unhide Group 1 in object tree 📊 Step 3: Hide and unhide specific confluences ✨ Double-click the screen to reveal RSI, MFI, CVD, and OBV indicators alongside divergence markings! 🔍
Title: 🎯 AU200: Bears Feast at 8,867 - Complete Distribution Confirmed
The Market Participant Battle:
Overconfident bulls who chased the falling wedge breakout from point 3 (8,720) to point 4 (8,867) have been decisively beaten by institutional bears. The volume footprint reveals the truth - despite 1.86K positive delta, price couldn't advance, confirming massive absorption by hidden sellers. This lower high at point 4 versus point 2 (8,876), combined with hidden bearish divergence across RSI/MFI/CVD and harmonic pattern completion, confirms smart money has distributed into retail buying. Price will collapse below 8,720 as trapped longs capitulate.
Confluences:
Confluence 1: Failed Wedge Breakout with Footprint Absorption
The falling wedge from points 1-2-3 appeared bullish, but the breakout to point 4 is failing spectacularly. The last two green candles show NEGATIVE delta despite rising price. Footprint data confirms this - 434 buyers vs 359 sellers, 421 vs 283, yet price REJECTED. The wedge breakout trap is complete with institutional iceberg orders absorbing all buying.
Confluence 2: Hidden Bearish Divergence Across All Indicators
Price made a lower high from point 2 (8,876) to point 4 (8,867), while RSI, MFI, and CVD all made HIGHER highs. This hidden bearish divergence screams continuation. The oversold RSI/MFI readings are irrelevant - they can stay oversold for weeks in strong downtrends. Footprint delta divergence (-275 on green candle) confirms the divergence.
Confluence 3: Quadruple Resistance Rejection with Volume Confirmation
Point 4 perfectly rejected from: (1) 0.62 Fibonacci retracement, (2) 2nd VWAP deviation, (3) Volume Profile POC at 8,856, (4) Descending trendline from point 2, (5) Linear regression channel upper boundary. Footprint shows failed auction here with only 29-32 contracts at highs = buyer exhaustion.
Confluence 4: Harmonic Pattern Triple Convergence
Three bearish harmonics align: Double Top at 8,892-8,894 (neckline 8,707), Descending Triangle with flat support at 8,707, Non Star reversal pattern. Measured moves converge at 8,530. The footprint absorption at these levels confirms distribution before breakdown.
Confluence 5: Bollinger Band & Volume Divergence with Delta Confirmation
OBV touched upper Bollinger Band at point 4 - classic reversal. Volume declining on rally shows no conviction. Footprint reveals the truth: Total delta of -268 despite more buy orders (981 vs 821) = pure absorption. The -61, -67, -157 delta progression shows increasing selling pressure.
Confluence 6: Anchored VWAP & Volume Gap Magnet
VWAP anchored at point 1 shows point 4 touching the 2nd deviation - statistically significant rejection level. Volume profile shows massive gap below point 3 acting as magnet. Footprint confirms with 1.07K imbalance zone pulling price lower.
Web Research Findings:
- Technical Analysis: Overbought signals everywhere, resistance holding, bearish divergences multiplying
- Recent News/Earnings: Premier Investments -17% profit, weak retail sector dragging sentiment
- Analyst Sentiment: "Bulls exhausted at resistance," "hesitancy to push forward" - professionals turning cautious
- Data Releases & Economic Calendar: RBA tomorrow unlikely to cut with inflation concerns - hawkish hold crushes bulls
- Interest Rate Impact: Market overpricing cuts, reality check incoming as RBA stays restrictive longer
Layman's Summary:
Every single indicator screams "GET OUT!" The chart pattern shows a failed breakout (bearish), momentum indicators show exhaustion (bearish), the footprint reveals big players selling to small players (bearish), and tomorrow's central bank won't help bulls. When everything aligns bearish at resistance, that's when bears feast on trapped bulls.
Machine Derived Information:
- Images 1-7 (Wedge/Patterns): Falling wedge with points 1-2-3-4 showing lower high - Significance: Failed breakout, bearish structure - AGREES ✔
- Volume Profile: POC rejection at 8,867, gaps below - Significance: Distribution zone confirmed - AGREES ✔
- Footprint Chart: 1.86K delta absorbed without price advance - Significance: Textbook institutional distribution - AGREES ✔
- Harmonic Patterns: Double top + descending triangle converging - Significance: Multiple bearish patterns aligned - AGREES ✔
- All Indicators: RSI/MFI/CVD/OBV showing bearish divergence - Significance: Unanimous bearish signals - AGREES ✔
Actionable Machine Summary:
Integration of ALL data confirms perfect storm short setup. Original wedge analysis showing lower high (point 2→4) now validated by footprint absorption (1.86K delta trapped). Hidden bearish divergence across RSI/MFI/CVD confirmed by delta divergence in footprint. Multiple resistance factors (Fib/VWAP/POC/trendline) validated by failed auction at highs. Harmonic patterns provide clear targets at 8,707 and 8,530.
Conclusion:
Trade Prediction: SUCCESS
Confidence: Very High
The convergence of failed wedge breakout + hidden divergence + footprint absorption + harmonic patterns + multiple resistance rejection creates the highest probability short setup possible. Every analytical method points to the same conclusion - distribution is complete, bulls are trapped, bears control the market. Minimum target 8,720, likely 8,530.

AUS200: Bulls Spring-Load at Oversold Support ZoneThe Market Participant Battle:
Bearish momentum sellers who drove the index from point 3 (8876) down to point 4 (8794) have been decisively beaten by institutional buyers defending the proven support zone at 8783-8801. This creates a classic spring-load setup where oversold conditions at proven support should drive price back toward 8900+ as trapped shorts cover and sidelined bulls re-enter.
Confluences:
Confluence 1: Proven Buyer Zone Formation
The numbered sequence 1→2→3→4 reveals a powerful market structure story. Point 3's close above point 1 validated point 2 as a major institutional accumulation zone. Now at point 4, we've returned to this proven buyer territory (8783-8801) where smart money previously accumulated. This isn't just support - it's a battle-tested zone where bulls have already demonstrated dominance. The 4-hour chart shows 4 horizontally stacked POCs (Points of Control) in this exact area, indicating massive volume concentration and institutional interest.
Confluence 2: Hidden Bullish Divergence Explosion
While price made a higher low at point 4 versus point 2, both RSI and MFI printed lower lows - textbook hidden bullish divergence. RSI sits at 31.20 (oversold) and MFI at 0.00 (extreme oversold), creating a coiled spring of buying pressure. This divergence pattern typically precedes explosive upward moves as the oversold oscillators snap back while price maintains its bullish structure.
Confluence 3: Volume Accumulation Signals
OBV (On-Balance Volume) and CDV (Cumulative Delta Volume) both show rising trajectories despite the recent price pullback. OBV's bullish divergence from price action confirms accumulation during weakness. CDV's upward slope indicates persistent buying pressure beneath the surface. This volume profile suggests institutions are quietly loading while retail traders panic sell.
Web Research Findings:
- Technical Analysis: ASX200 trading at 8780 after falling from recent highs near 9000, with strong support identified at 8750-8800 range
- Recent News/Earnings: September historically weakest month for ASX200 (-0.11% average), but earnings season showed ASX300 Industrials beat rate at +11%, suggesting conservative guidance that could lead to upgrades
- Analyst Sentiment: Major banks cautious on FY25 earnings (flat to lower expected), but see potential for earnings upgrades in FY26 with rate cuts
- Data Releases & Economic Calendar: RBA expected to cut rates at September 29-30 meeting (currently 3.60%), with November cut likely taking cash rate to 3.35%
- Interest Rate Impact: Three rate cuts already delivered in 2025, with market pricing in further easing - historically bullish for equities
Layman's Summary:
The ASX200 has pulled back to a critical support zone during September (historically the worst month for stocks), but this weakness is happening while companies are beating earnings expectations and interest rates are being cut. It's like seeing a "sale" sign on quality merchandise - the temporary weakness creates opportunity. With the RBA cutting rates and companies setting conservative guidance that they'll likely beat, this pullback to proven support looks more like a gift than a warning.
Machine Derived Information:
- Image 1: 4-hour chart showing ascending channel with points 1-4 marked, multiple oversold oscillators, and volume indicators - Significance: Confirms bullish structure intact with oversold bounce setup at proven support - AGREES ✔
- Image 2: Clean 4-hour chart emphasizing the 1→2→3→4 sequence and horizontal support at 8794-8800 - Significance: Validates institutional accumulation zone and spring-load pattern formation - AGREES ✔
Actionable Machine Summary:
Both charts confirm the same powerful setup: proven buyers at 8783-8801 have stepped in at oversold conditions with hidden bullish divergence. The volume profile shows accumulation, not distribution. With RSI and MFI at extremes, any positive catalyst could trigger a sharp reversal higher. The risk/reward heavily favors longs at current levels.
Conclusion:
Trade Prediction: SUCCESS
Confidence: High
The convergence of proven support, extreme oversold conditions, hidden bullish divergence, and positive volume dynamics creates a high-probability long setup. September weakness is normal and expected, making this pullback to support more opportunity than threat. Target 8900+ with stops below 8780.

Conclusion and Weekly Outlook
The AUS200 stands at a critical juncture, trading near historical highs while facing seasonal headwinds and technical exhaustion signals. The combination of supportive monetary policy and strong year-to-date performance provides underlying bullish bias, but elevated RSI readings across multiple timeframes warrant cautious optimism.
Key Themes for September:
1. Range Trading: 8920-8980 likely to contain price action initially
2. Breakout Preparation: Monitor volume for sustained moves beyond range
3. Seasonal Weakness: Historical September underperformance requires defensive positioning
4. Policy Support: RBA accommodation providing floor for significant declines
Recommended Approach:
- Favor range trading over directional bias initially
- Reduce position sizes given elevated volatility expectations
- Focus on high-probability setups with multiple confluence factors
- Maintain disciplined risk management throughout September
