MISC rose to an intra-day high of RM9.10 at about 11.45am & then entered into a correction. The intra-day correction was very severe & the share price was pushed back to the level where the stock started out in the morning (see the 30-min chart below). This correction will lead to the formation of a candlestick called the shooting star. This candlestick when it appeared after a long rally, could signify a possible bearish reversal, subject to confirmation on the following day. If confirmed, the stock is likely to drift to test horizontal support at RM8.70-75 & the breakout level of RM8.50.

The earlier call remained valid provided the stock does not violate the breakout level of RM8.50. The unfortunate timing of the post, clashing into the correction, is much regretted.
