Opening surge influenced by Wall Street

ASX 200 technical analysis
Today's gains are consistent with our view that the ASX 200 has spent the past three months consolidating/correcting its gains from the late October 6751 low to the early April 7910.5 high. A break above the all-time high at 7910.5 is needed to confirm the correction is complete and that the uptrend has resumed, targeting 8000 as the next stop.
