Cosmos Technology International Bhd (Technical Buy)

• After retracing from the peak of RM0.645 in mid-February to as low as RM0.45 in late-March this year, COSMOS’ share price has subsequently moved upward to break out from the descending resistance line to close at RM0.51 yesterday.

• On the chart, the stock could climb higher on the back of the following positive technical signals: (i) the 9-day MA has crossed above the 21-day MA, (ii) a continuation of Parabolic SAR uptrend, and (iii) the MACD is still hovering above the signal line after staging a crossover.

• That said, we believe the stock could advance towards our resistance targets of RM0.575 (R1; 13% upside potential) and RM0.63 (R2; 24% upside potential).

• We have pegged our stop loss price level at RM0.45 (or a downside risk of 12%).
