Stocks
on Bursa Malaysia ended almost flat yesterday with the benchmark FBM
KLCI 0.51 point or 0.03% higher at the close, lifted by gains in
selected blue chips. The benchmark FBM KLCI stood at 1,755.56 after
hovering between 1,750.72 and 1,759.43 throughout the day. Losers
outpaced gainers by 420 to 324, while 333 counters were unchanged. Total
volume declined to 1.61 billion units worth RM1.9 billion from 1.78
billion units worth RM2.19 billion on Wednesday.Taking cue from the strong rebound on Wall Street overnight, the FBM KLCI opened 2.86 points higher at 1,757.91 and surged to hit the intra-day high of 1,759.43 ten minutes after opening. However, the upward move found no follow through and the key index pulled back to move sideways range-bound in and out the positive and negative territory for the rest of the day. It hit an intra-day low of 1,750.72 at mid-afternoon before rebounding to close marginally higher. Chart-wise, the FBM KLCI formed a black hammer candlestick for a second day. The twin hammer candlesticks pattern indicates bottoming of the FBM KLCI at current level, albeit it maybe a temporary one until a confirmation of trend reversal is seen. Immediate downside support zone is at 1,749 to 1,746, while the overhead resistance zone is at 1,759 to 1,764.
MACD slipped lower, but its histogram was just marginally lower, indicating a reduction in the downward momentum. RSI (14) was marginally higher at 26.7 from 26.4, indicating a state of consolidation. Stochastic hooked upward gently to 9.3 from 8.4, indicating mild a rebound. Readings from the indicators showed that the FBM KLCI is in a state of consolidation in the short term oversold zone, and hence is likely to stage a technical rebound.
The trend of the FBM KLCI still remained down and bearish as the key index continued to stay below the short, medium and long term moving averages. Nonetheless, the price action of the FBM KLCI over the last two days showed that selling pressure is waning of and the key index is consolidating just above the 1,750-point psychological support level or the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement support level of 1,746. As the month is coming to a close today, some window dressing activities by fund managers might prop up the FBM KLCI. On the broader market, trading activity in second and third liners has also reduced greatly indicating the market is likely to go into a prolong consolidation.
Overnight, the Dow fell 36.87 points or -0.20% to close at 18,126.12. Today, the FBMKLCI is likely to trade within a range of 1,742 to 1,768.
