The ASX 200 eased for a second consecutive day as traders returned from the long weekend, with losses across most sectors offset by strength in Materials. Despite the mild pullback, momentum from last week’s breakout keeps the broader uptrend intact. Futures action suggests traders remain cautious but alert to a potential short-term rebound.

ASX 200 Futures (SPI 200) Technical Analysis
ASX 200 futures are lower for a third straight session following Monday’s brief record high. The prominent shooting star reversal near the August peak marks a clear swing point for bears, though downside momentum remains relatively mild so far. With Wall Street retreating overnight, broader sentiment could continue to weigh on the ASX today.
A higher low has formed above 8964 on the 1-hour chart, signalling potential for at least a short-term bounce. The RSI (2) also dipped into oversold territory, reinforcing the possibility of a near-term bullish inflection point for the ASX.
Bulls may attempt to reclaim the 9,000 level today, which could open a path towards 9,020 or 9,040. However, given the softer tone across global equities and the notable shooting star pattern near the August high, bears are likely waiting to fade rallies in the near term. ASX traders may want to stay nimble until this correction fully unfolds.
