The ASX 200 bounced off the support at 4350 and is testing long-term resistance at 4450.  Breakout above 4450 would signal a target of 4900, failure to break will point to a downside.

Call and put options may be traded on the ASX 200 (code XJO), the ASX 200 Property Trusts Index (XPJ) and ASX 50 (XFL).  

The ASX200 Index is down to around 4300 from 6800 in 2007 as market correction, Lehman collapse, panic and a litany of margin selling of stocks brough the market to the lows and where id did not yet recover. In effect, we witnessed a significant unwinding of high gearing levels of investors that had built up gradually since 2000 at the very start of the credit-fueled bull market.
