Consolidation

In response to the overnight 215 points gain of the DJI, our KLCI started Wednesday with a 3 points gap up on opening and hit a intraday high of 1373, and profit taking sets in quickly. KLCI has been maintaining in the positive zone most of the day. At about 3.30 pm, the market took a dip as a result of the "limit-down" action of a few speculative stocks. The actions really affected sentiment of the general market at a time like this, where the market is just trying to recover from the recent correction. However, the magic hand is there doing his job and closed the KLCI at 1366.58, with 1.59 points gain. Market breadth remains weak with 297 gainers and 556 losers, volume is back to 1 billion share level. As mentioned previously, our market is consolidating at the current level with a trading range of between 1340 - 1380. The general market will only regain activeness if only the KLCI can goes above 1380.

Majority of the regional markets have also moved into the base building consolidation phase except Shanghai index (SSEC), where it has just broken the 120 days MA support, and may go further down to test the support at 4335.

The bulls on the DJI are fighting back, and the index has rise about 545 points over two days to bring the DJI above the 13,000 mark, back to the uptrend channel and above the 200 days long term MA. The bull may meet some strong resistance around the 13,500 level. Whatever it is, at least the Dow is back on track, and may goes into a consolidation phase between 13,000 - 13,550.

The sentiment of our local market was really affected by the plunge of the RL group of stocks, taking the lead was ETITECH, COMINTL, OILCORP, and KBES. If one wants to play these kind of stocks, one must always be happy with the profit when one have it, don't try to take every drop out of it, then one may end up giving everything back and may even get roasted.

The plantation sector remain steady in anticipation of the listing of Synergy Drive tomorrow, hopefully SD will lift the sentiment of the market and kick-off a new round of rally. Some of the plantation stocks that are worth watching are Twsplnt, Kretam, Cepat and Harnlen.

Taking a breather

Our KLCI had on last Friday (231107) mainly stayed in a range bound trading condition with CI fluctuating between 1345 and 1354 and close the day near the high at 1353.55, however, it never goes below the close on Thursday of 1344.16. Volume shrunk to a low 630 million shares which indicate a lack of interest. Gainers lead losers with 464 against 287. After 3 weeks since the correction started on 1st November, the KLCI has came down from its peak of 1423.81 to the 120 days MA support at 1340. If this support holds well, KLCI may take a breather from its recent correction and move into sideway consolidation with a range between 1340 and 1380. Hopefully the listing of Synergy Drive on the 30th November will bring some life to the market.

For the Singapore STI, it is also showing a temporary bottom signal with the low of 3306.53. STI will also goes into a sideway market with a range of between 3300 and 3500




The Hang Seng Index has also seen a temporary bottom at 25861. It may swing between 25500 and 28000 points






As for the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI), it closed last Friday at 12980.88 with a green Marubozu candle, indicating that the bulls are in control the whole day, trying to fight back to bring the index back near the 13000 level. Whether the bull will succeed in their attempt is really critical for the Dow, we will find out tonight.

Update

(Click to enlarge)
Regional bourses all open with a panic gap down on Tuesday morning following the falls of 218 points on DJI on Monday which closed at 12958, below the 13000 psychological support, this really cause the regional market to jitter, hence, the panic gap down opening. However, one can observed that the downward selling pressure did not last and the bull was fighting in the afternoon session. HSI and STI closed the day with a bullish reversal candle. HSI will have to go back above 28000 to maintain the medium term uptrend, and STI will have to go above 3500 to keep its long term uptrend intact. As for our KLCI, we lack a bit of strength, and closed the day off low at 1371.70 (-8.21, -0.59%) to form a bottom reversal black Hammer candlestick. Whatever it is, KLCI is now stuck in a sideway trading range of between 1360 - 1400, hopefully the listing of Synergy Drive will bring the KLCI above 1400, and that will bring life to our market again.















The DJI has on last night seen a roller coaster ride with the bull winning the battle for the day to close Tuesday at 13010, and the psychological support of 13000 was temporary defended. This also keep the DJI within the uptrend channel which must be defended, otherwise the whole world will purge.



Some of the stocks that may offer short term trading opportunities are CBSTech, GPlus and Tanco. However, one must be quick in taking the profit when you see it.

Sideways

Last Friday(161107) was generally a down day with the KLCI trading in the red zone most part of the day. Regional market was generally down with HSI taking the lead with a fall of 1100 points, a result of the Chinese government curbing the underground currency exchange activities. The KLCI actually showed mild selling pressure with the CI hitting a low of 1377.43 intra-day and closed at 1386.64 (-3.36, -0.24%) with a last minute magical touch, volume reduced to 1.01 billion shares with losers (519) outnumbered gainers (276), forming a Doji candlestick. The Doji formation indicated that the market (CI) is uncertain of its direction, however, the price action for the day showed that the magic-hand is trying to maintain the KLCI above the 1380 level. For the moment, KLCI is finding good support around the short term 27 days MA, the medium term 50 days MA is coming to meet the short term MA, and the long medium term 120 days MA has gone flat indicating that the market is probably going into a sideway condition in the short to medium term. The long term 200 days MA, however, is still pointing northeast indicating that the long term trend of KLCI is still up. Looks like the market is taking a breather while waiting for a catalyst to move it further, probably the listing of Synergy Drive at the month end.

As for the DJI, it is probably trying to find a base around the current level of 13000 to 13400 amidst the many troubles the US economy is facing. As mentioned in the previous posts, the 13000 level is critically important for the DJI to defend in order to maintain its medium to long term uptrend.


Back to our local market, some of the stocks that we are following such as BHIC, KNM, MPHB, and MPCorp, the uptrend is still intact. MPHB will be suspended till Wednesday awaiting the result of the announcement on its intention to privatize Magnum.

Maybulk, Landmrk, BJCorp, Kretam and a few other plantation stocks have gone into a short term sideway consolidation. Their medium to long term uptrend is still intact.

Time and Timecom may offer short term trading opportunity as a result of the positive development between Timecom and Digi.

Temporary bottom

The market has been bearish for the last few days as a spill over effect of the Dow's poor performance, however, our KLCI has been showing good resilience. As usual, the market started off the day with a slight positive sentiment with the CI registering the days high of 1385.89 within the first half an hour, thereafter, it went into the red territory hitting the low of 1370.33 and made a "u" turn upward after 3 pm, and as usual the magic hand brings the CI to close at 1383.43 (+1.08, +0.078%) forming a bottom reversal candlestick known as Hammer. From the chart, one can see that our CI is finding good support around the 1380 level, the market breadth of 420 gainers to 388 losers shows that the KLSE is not at all that bearish, in fact many counters such as KBES, MPHB, CBSTECH are showing signs that they can't wait to go up. Well, as the saying, "what goes up must come down, and what came down will go up too", that is how the market works. The broad trend of the KLCI is still up, the present is only a minor correction within a major uptrend. The market may go "yo-yo" between 1380 and 1413 to build a base before it climb further up, however, I believe that with the good effort of the whole nation our KLCI will continue to move up, slowly but steadily because Malaysia boleh.

On the regional side, Hang Seng Index (HSI) also showed the formation of a Hammer-like bottom reversal candlestick. From the chart one can see the immediate support of the HSI on the 50 day MA. The next major support for the HSI is around 26500, if this level can't hold, then the HSI will really turn bear. HSI's volatility is really different from that of KLCI, one must learn to get used to it. It is just like going to Indonesia, one must get used to the juta (million) of Rupiah that one carries, don't be nervours.

As for the DJI, it is showing a bullish Engulfing bottom reversal candlestick, the bulls are fighting back. As mentioned in the previous post, the 12950 level must be defended for the uptrend to be maintained, it did. With this, I believe a temporary bottom is formed, and DJI may go into a choppy sideway market while waiting for their problems to be solved.

Back to our KLSE, some of the counters that shows strong upward move amid the bearish time are MPHBWB, KIANJOO, CBSTECH, HARNLEN, KBES, and IE.

Update

On last Friday, the KLCI opened on fear as a result of DJI's fall of 33 points, the fear lasted for only a brief 5 minutes and the index quickly rebounded, showing good resilience and closed the day near the day's high at 1402.25, forming a hammer. The price action of the KLCI showed that the market is not in a state of great fear, and in fact, the smart-money were buying at the day's low, probably in preparation for a run later in the future. The immediate strong support of KLCI is found at the 1380 level. If this level can't hold, one may see the KLCI going down to test 1360. However, from the broader picture, our KLCI's uptrend is still very much intact.
The HSI was showing good support at the 28500 points level, the recent correction was a healthy one despite the hefty fall. I think our local investor must learn to get used to HSI's volatility. The longer term uptrend was intact.




The DJI was not looking good on the short term under the pressure of the subprime loan issue and the high oil price that is approaching USD100. From the chart, DJI had on last Friday closed below the long term 200 day's MA, the immediate support to keep the long term trend of the DJI intact is at the 12950 level, if this level is not defended, bye-bye, and sayonara DJI.


Back to our local market, the plantation sector was performing very well, some of the stocks that are worth watching are CEPAT and TDM. Other stocks like BHIC, TCHONG, JAKS and MPCorp, the uptrend are still intact.

What goes up must come down.

In my last post, I mentioned that our KLSE has on last Tuesday showed signs of hesitant to move further, and in fact on last Wednesday the market was under profit taking mode, but a last minute magic show brought the KLCI back to the green to closed at 1413.65 (31/10/07), and formed a Hanging-man candlestick. On last Thursday, the market open with a 6 points gap up and hit the record high of 1423.81 within the first 10 minutes, and thereafter goes into heavy profit taking and closed at 1409.16 forming a Dark Cloud Cover candlestick, the turn has begun. What goes up must come down is something that never change in the market. On last Friday, the market started with a short panic selling with Dow's overnight fall of 363 points, however, the panic was only for a short moment, and smart investors comes in to collect at lower price to end the KLCI higher than the opening at 1397.48 on Friday. On Monday, the market opened with a positive mode, however, the huge decline on HSI of 1500 points (5%) dragged down the regional market, and KLCI follows the fall to close at 1384.73 forming a Bearish Engulfing candlestick. Yesterday, the market was very quiet, KLCI slipped slightly down to a low of 1380.43 but the bull quietly surface at later part of the day, fighting back the battle and closed KLCI at 1389.11 forming a bullish Hammer candlestick.

A similar market bottoming Hammer candlestick was also seen on the HSI. My view is that the HSI's correction is still within the acceptable range in a uptrend. The rest are just fear.

As for the DJI, it is finding a strong support around the 13500 level. In fact, DJI closed Tuesday at 13660.94 with bullish reversal candlestick. Broadly speaking, DJI has moved into a sideway trend now, choppy ride ahead is expected.








On the individual counter side, JAKS, MPCORP, and EDEN may offer some good trading opportunities.
