It operates through ICT Security Business, E-Commerce Business and Management Services. The ICT Security Business segment provides solutions, product and services in the information technology security sector.

The premise of this trade setup is a thematic play on the cyber security solutions/information communication technology (ICT) security sector. The other stock that Alpha Trader likes and first highlighted was Systech Bhd on 11 January 2023 at RM0.25. The company is in the cyber security solutions business and continues to make new highs at  RM0.37 on Friday, 10 Feb 2023!

PRICE CHART

The daily chart pattern is similar to a stock that was highlighted in the latest last post on EG Bhd, where it is exhibiting a rounding bottom formation. What is good about about this pattern is it gives a well defined target on the charts to aim for. From this chart pattern, AppAsia does not have any resistance until the RM0.26 to RM0.30 levels!

Zooming in further on the daily charts, we can see a clear break out above the pivot point of RM0.12 with heavy volume on 8 February 2022. This breakout has further credence since on T+2 settlement day on 10 February 2023, where there was little selling pressure and price still closed at the 52 week high of RM0.14. This all points to very strong momentum on the upside, as we never fade a stock that continues to make new highs!
