Ever since the rebound from 1224 level, the KLCI short term movement has been improving, while breaking above the 14, 21, 31 EMA as well as the Bollinger Bands bullish signal. With the KLCI now above the Bollinger Middle Band, the immediate technically outlook is bullish biased, as indicated by A.

Chart 1: KLCI, from 27/10/2009 to 24/02/2010.

Despite technical indicating that the KLCI is gradually gaining strength, total market volume remains below the 40-day VMA level, suggesting that the overall market participation is still relatively low. This implies that the market confidence is also low.

Nevertheless, there are still some counters that are regaining their positions, while others are still trending down. Investors should pick stock carefully, and only select those counters which has a trend similar to the broad market, and avoid stocks that are still trending down.

SCOMI

Chart 5: Scomi, chart from 27/10/2009 to 24/02/2010.

As shown on chart 5, despite the strong KLCI rebound, price of Scomir remains in the downtrend while resisted by the 14, 21, 31 EMA, which is serving as the dynamic resistance.

Conclusion:
When the market turns bullish, investors have to always confirm the bullishness with volume. If volume should failed to break above the 40-day VMA level, it suggests that the rally was mostly on selective counters, thus picking the right stock would be harder. Therefore, investors should pick stocks that has the similar movement with the broad market, avoid stocks that are still trending down, despite blue chips or KLCI components.
