FBM KLCI - lower on profit-taking correction
Stocks
on Bursa Malaysia ended lower yesterday on persistent profit taking in
heavyweights amid bullish performance on the regional market. The
benchmark FBM KLCI ended lower on profit taking after posting strong
gain the previous day. At close, the FBM KLCI fell 6.20 points or 0.33%,
after moving between 1,848 and 1,853.21 throughout the day. Gainers,
however, outpaced losers by 427 to 372, while 360 counters were
unchanged. Total volume was lower at 1.82 billion units worth RM1.88
billion from Tuesday’s 1.95 billion units worth RM2.10 billion.
Taking cue from the soft close on Wall Street overnight, the FBM KLCI opened 4.02 points lower at 1,852.49 and rebounded to touch the intra-day high of 1,853.21 briefly after opening. However, the rebound found no follow through, and the key index fell on profit taking pressure and moved sideways range-bound for a major part of the day. The FBM KLCI hit an intra-day low of 1,848.00 before rebounding to close off low. Chart-wise, the FBM KLCI formed a black spinning-top candlestick in bearish Harami position, a top reversal candlestick pattern which indicates a changed in sentiment from bullish to uncertainty with a bearish bias. Hence, the FBM KLCI may stay in consolidation today with a downward bias. Immediate overhead resistance zone is at 1,853 to 1,856, while the immediate downside support zone is at 1,848 to 1,843.
MACD was higher but its histogram contracted downward, indicating a state of consolidation. RSI (14) fell to 66.9 from 71.3, indicating a pullback correction after hitting the overbought level, and the short term relative strength is still in the bullish zone. Stochastic hooked downward to 95.5 from 97.6, and made a dead-cross over the slow stochastic line, issuing a stochastic sell signal after hitting the overbought zone. Readings from the indicators showed that the FBM KLCI is undergoing a healthy pullback correction after the recent rise which sent the key index into the overbought zone.
The trend of the FBM KLCI remained up as the key index continued to stay above the short, medium and long term moving averages. The correction yesterday was healthy and the FBM KLCI is likely to continue its uptrend to test the immediate overhead resistance zone of 1,856 to 1,880 after the correction is over. On the broader market, trading has turned cautious as the total volume fell below the two billion shares mark. Nevertheless, rotational play on small caps and ACE market counters is still active providing short term trading opportunity.
Overnight, the Dow rose 27.09 points or 0.15% to close at 17,902.51. Today, the FBMKLCI is likely to trade within a range of 1,842 to 1,858.
