The KLCI rebounded strongly, and breaking above the 14, 21, 31 Exponential Moving Average ? EMA, as indicated by A. Meanwhile, the Bollinger Bands expanded, with the KLCI above the Bollinger Middle Band, thus giving a bullish signal. Technically, the KLCI is still lacking of one important bullish condition, which is the volume. (Please refer to arrow B).

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

Based on the statistic in the past, if the KLCI should rally without volume reaching above the 40-day VMA level, it suggests that the rally is only selectively, and not a strong bullish market. Therefore, there are some counters gaining, while many counters are actually still trending down. Investors should carefully select the stocks that follow the broad market and avoid the stocks which are trending down.

Stocks that follow the market flow:

AXIATA

Chart 2: Axiata, from 27/10/2009 to 24/02/2010.

As indicated by A, price of Axiata followed the KLCI rebound, while continuously being supported by the 14, 21, 31 EMA, and tested the RM 3.50 resistance level. If price of Axiata should break above this resistance, it would be making a new high, thus suggesting a continuation of the uptrend. However, a valid break out has to be confirmed with strong volume, and provided that price of Axiata is still staying above the rising 14, 21, 31 EMA, it is a good idea to keep the stocks as the uptrend remains intact. If price should break below the 14, 21, 31 EMA, it would be a signal to take profit or to cut loss. If price should break above the RM 3.50 level, the next resistance for Axiata is seen at RM 4.10.

CIMB

Chart 3: CIMB, from 27/10/2009 to 24/02/2010.

As indicated by A, the CIMB gapped up and breaking above the 14, 21, 31 EMA dynamic resistance, with strong volume, therefore, it is likely that CIMB could resume its uptrend movement. Technically, a strong volume is needed to confirm a valid break out, as the increased of volume suggests more inflow of fresh capital, new buying interest to off-set the selling pressure. If volume is low during a break out, the break out would not be confirmed.

If price of CIMB should remain supported by the 14, 21, 31 EMA, the uptrend is still intact, and it is a good idea to hold the stock, until the price should break below 14, 21, 31 EMA, it would be a signal to take profit. Next resistance for CIMB isat RM 13.58.

Stocks going against the broad market:

LCL

Chart 4: LCL, from 27/10/2009 to 24/02/2010.

As shown on Chart 4, the Bollinger Bands of LCL contracted, suggesting that LCL is consolidating while preparing for a new movement. As indicated by A, the Bollinger Bands re-expanded with the price below the Bollinger Bands, thus giving a bearish signal. If the Bollinger Bands should continue to expand with price staying below the Bollinger Middle Band, more downside movement is expected. Support for LCL is at RM0.12 while the Bollinger Middle Band is serving as the dynamic resistance.

GENTING

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

As shown on chart 5, price of Genting continued its downtrend movement, after breaking below the RM 6.60 support. As indicated by A, the 14, 21, 31 EMA is still falling while serving as the dynamic resistance, and technically, as long as price is still staying below the 14, 21, 31 EMA, the downtrend shall remains intact.

Despite being a component of the KLCI, price of Genting failed to rebound together with the KLCI. This proves that the importance of identifying a stock that moves along with the direction of the broad market, investors can not just pick any KLCI component counters.

Conclusion:
It is important to note that to follow the broad market flow, one should pick stocks that have the similar movement, and simply picking any KLCI component or any blue chips is not the way.
