@tomsmithidg , as requested, quick comments on ANZ:

Interesting chart. I don't follow the banks, so no clue where banks are on the cycle. 

Zoomed out view first. Since ~Apr-May 2020, the price has run up about 14.00 to ~$41.00. 

Zooming In now:

Bearish Head and Shoulders seems to have formed and today's drop takes the price right down to the neckline - thats why I needed to zoom out as the H&S in this shortened period did not quite make sense as there has been no steep climb to "justify it". But once you zoom out, above, the potential topping out feels quite possible.

• There is also a huge gap in the price the day before the Head was formed - that usually signals the final exhaustion, before a major turn
• Neckline is 34.01, which also happens to be close to the 50% retracement level and where it ended up today. It would be very interesting to see if this 34.00 level holds - this will inform on whether the price trend is up or down from here.
• The price has also moved BELOW the 200 SMA - so this level is very, very interesting for me
• Target drop from the neckline is to 27.00 - not saying it will, but it could, IF, the trend is now down
• Nothing to stop it from bouncing off the neckline, moving upwards again and thus, invalidate the H&S pattern altogether

Have marked the support lines below, and the immediate resistance levels upwards

If the sentiment against banking is mostly negative, then downside is very much possible - that is what it feels like at a highly superficial level. If sentiment is decidedly positive, then upside is also possible ie, it bounces up from here and invalidate the H&S, thus cancelling the bearish reversal.

Thought I would put this up for a laugh. It really does make me scratch my head. The 12 month target price is lower than today's price and you still rate it a buy????

The ANZ Bank became the first bank in Australia – and possibly in the world – to create a stablecoin used in a real transaction. The stablecoin will be pegged to the Australian dollar, and Australian dollar cash will be held $1 for $1 in a trust to fully back the A$DC (pronounced “A dollar DC”). ANZ initially created the stablecoin for its client, the investment company Victor Smorgon Group, to send $30 million to a digital asset fund manager, Zerocap, within 10 minutes. Traditional methods usually take days and involve a lot more conversion costs. A stablecoin is a cryptocurrency, the price of which is pegged to fiat money like the US or Aussie dollar, or to an exchange-traded commodity. ANZ expects strong demand for its A$DC and sees itself changing the form of money, without creating new supply.
