The key index rebounded from the low and rallied higher for the rest of the day. The FBM KLCI consolidated in the afternoon session but late buying pushed the key index to hit the intra-day high of 1,814.54 before pulling back slightly to close off high. Chart-wise, the FBM KLCI formed a bullish long white candlestick which indicates the bulls were in full control for the day in pushing the key index higher, and it marked a strong reversal after a two-day profit-taking correction. Hence, the FBM KLCI is likely to rise further on follow through buying momentum.

The medium term trend is up while the long term trend still remained sideways range-bound with an upward bias. The FBM KLCI is likely to continue its upward momentum to test the strong overhead resistance zone of 1,823 to 1,830 formed by a cluster of long term moving averages where the 200-day SMA is currently at 1,823 and the 240-day SMA is at 1,830. On the broader market, profit-taking and weakness is seen in small caps and ACE market counters which have risen recently. Nonetheless, rotational play on a new set of counters has taken over.
