ASX 200 Morning Outlook: Bulls Seek Support After Second Weekly Decline

By :   Matt Simpson , Market Analyst
November 9, 2025 10:00 PM

The ASX 200 fell for a second consecutive week — its worst two-week stretch in seven months — as risk-off sentiment weighed on equities. Heavy losses in Materials, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary dragged the index lower, though some traders are watching for a potential stabilisation at key support levels. Declining volume and modest strength in Energy hint that selling momentum may be starting to fade.

ASX 200 Market Snapshot

  • The ASX 200 fell for a second consecutive week, with its -2.7% decline marking the worst two-week stretch in seven months.
  • A clear risk-off tone dominated the market, led by losses in Information Technology (XIJ), Materials (XMJ), and Consumer Discretionary (XDJ) — three of the weakest-performing sectors as eight of eleven finished lower.
  • The index is now effectively flat over the past three months, with mega-cap stocks providing most of the support. The ASX 200 continues to outperform the broader All Ordinaries, which typically reflects a defensive market bias — stronger small-cap participation would normally indicate healthier sentiment.
  • The Energy sector (XEJ) managed a 1% gain despite lower crude oil prices. While the overall price structure remains bearish, it’s worth noting that selling volume has declined for three straight weeks and has stayed below average for five, suggesting reduced conviction behind recent weakness.

ASX 200 Correlations

  • The positive correlation between the ASX 200 and Wall Street has returned to positive territory over the past ten days
  • Financial stocks have lagged the broader index, showing limited alignment with overall market movements.
  • In contrast, the Materials sector maintains a strong positive correlation with the ASX 200 across both the 10-day and 20-day periods
  • There is also a weak inverse correlation between the Australian 2-year yield and the ASX 200 over the past ten days, which strengthens over the 20-day timeframe

ASX 200 Technical Analysis

An interesting observation on the ASX 200 futures chart is that weekly trading volume increased last week, returning to its 20-week average. This contrasts with the lower volume seen in the ASX cash market, suggesting that most trading activity has occurred during the overnight futures session.

Friday night saw a mild attempt to break below the September low, near Tuesday’s spinning top doji. A bullish divergence has formed on the daily RSI (2), hinting that the market may be preparing for a short-term bounce. However, traders should allow for some wriggle room around Friday’s low and wait to see if prices gap lower before assuming a rebound is underway.

The September VPOC (8,852) and 0.8862 swing low are potential upside targets for bulls, while a break above these levels could bring the 8,900–8,950 zone into focus. Still, given the bearish signals on the weekly chart, the broader bias remains to look for evidence of a lower high in anticipation of another leg lower in the ASX 200.
