FBM KLCI - Possible reversal


As expected, FBM KLCI continue to slide lower yesterday in tandem with continued weakness in regional bourses. The FBM KLCI was among the least affected benchmark indices, dropping 7.3 points, or -0.58% to close at 1241.75., dragged down mostly by banking and plantation stocks.

The price action of the index formed a hammer candlestick pattern, which indicates possible bottom. The 30-days moving average is lending the index a strong support at this level.

MACD continued to slide down, indicating continued weakening of market momentum. RSI(14) at 53 has slide from the overbought zone to the neutral zone. Stochastic continued to slide toward the 50 level. All three indicators are indicating a weak market at the moment.

The current short term trend of the KLCI is down; however, the medium and long term trend as indicated by the 60 and 120 days moving average is still up. As such, the current down trend is viewed as a healthy correction to the recent run up which lasted for almost three weeks since October 5.

Losers led gainers at 363 to 331, with 280 counters unchanged, and volume traded on Friday was 776.81 million shares.

On the weekly chart, the KLCI was up for the third week and closed at the year high of 1267.10. MACD, RSI and Stochastic were all up. However, on the daily chart, the MACD was up slightly but the histogram was down, indicating a slowing in upward momentum. Trend is still up.

The market is expected to trade within the range of 1244 – 1285 for this week. Immediate resistance for KLCI today is at 1271, and support is at 1262 and 1257.

FBM KLCI New High for 2009

Hi, Friends.

It's been a long lay off in writing this blog. Recently my company's technical analyst has resigned, they get me to help out in writing the technical outlook for the company's daily newsletter. So, I took it up, and think why not I post what I write to share it here as well with all my friends. Hope you enjoy reading what I write.

(Click on image to enlarge)








The FBM KLCI closed at the year high at 1,246.84 (+13.33), off the intraday high of 1,248.14. Volume surged to 1.26 billion shares, above 1.0 billion shares since 18 August 2009, indicating the return of trading activities. Market breadth at 574 gainers, 174 losers and 208 unchanged, which indicates positive outlook.

KLCI has recovered 61.8% of the downtrend range, where the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement value is 1247.84. This was hit intraday, and the CI pullback to close 1 point below it. This is an important level for the KLCI and the market may react strongly around this important Fibo level.

The uptrend of the KLCI is intact with the short term 30 days SMA, medium term 60 days SMA and the long term 120 days SMA still pointing northeast. MACD has just made a golden cross, indicating a buy. Stochastics (14,3,3) is at 90 indicating short term bullishness, but may forewarn of a possible correction due to profit taking. RSI(14) at 74 is bullish.

KLCI may test the 1250 level today, the strong overhead resistance level is at 1258. If the profit taking activities is strong, KLCI may pullback below 1250, and 1238 may provide good immediate support and opportunity to buy on dip.
