PENTA: The sell down of the previous days has brought it down to its support at 0.72. It rebounded off this support and is currently testing its next support level at 0.745/0.75. The selling momentum appears to have eased off somewhat. In spite of the bearish mode, it did not violate its uptrend line.
MITRA: Mitra's strong support at 1.71 is holding well so far. It broke down from its double top support at 1.72 briefly and has since recovered from this low, failing to complete the double top reversal pattern which is a good sign. It is close to oversold territory. Immediate resistance is at 1.84.
tsy, Dunknow, ariff, connie, duit teyl333 & All, Good Afternoon.
The falling oil price and China's yuan devaluation will weigh in further on the market. During times like these, please note that strong support can be broken down easily while strong resistance can get stronger.
teyl333, ...hahaha... its ok. Yes, I believe there will be TRs along the way as the CI bleeds. But I doubt those TRs will be strong. I think there are really 2 strategies to the current market.
If you are highly risk averse or are very uncomfortable with the market and has lots of fear in the market, stay sideline. If you are a risk taker, you may trade but it requires skills in timing entry and exit and you really need to tighten your stop loss and trailing stops. Your tolerance level should be low and control of emotions is necessary. It is important to trade good FA stocks only.
It is not easy to bottom fish as support levels can be broken at will as the CI keeps trending down. It is also crucial not to average down. You will notice by now that new lows can be established in a second and from day to day.
Hi Profitbro....thanks for your very kind advice...this time bleeding is much worst than dec 2014...agree on stay sideline...need to have strong surviving skills in this trading's bleeding
Yup,profitman....i guess everyone now is in fear & sustain on this TR or just 1~2 day show?we dun know,but just have to stay cautious until the storm's stop!
tsy, Dunknow, ariff, connie, Duit and All, Good Morning.
Yes, finally greens overwhelmed reds yesterday. Yesterday was a day to either lock in profits or to clear out some stocks in our portfolio. But as cautioned earlier, Tsy, i doubt it can sustain for long. Already now as I write, it is down about 17 points.
Any TR will not be sustainable. We would be lucky it can sustain for a few days. The macro signals are still negative. Crude oil just fell to 42 and it is grossly close to dipping below 40. Our MYR continues to slide to about 4.08 at the moment. Foreign funds exodus doesn't seems to be ebbing. The yuan's 2 days devaluation did not help either. To top it all, our country is facing the biggest issue in confidence.
So, against this backdrop, its difficult to envisage a sustained TR let alone a market recovery.
The charts from yesterday would present very attractive reversal candles. You will have probably see lots of bullish engulfing candles and other reversal patterns which signals entry. Everyone is probably very excited over the chart patterns. So is TA still relevant? Yes, very much so but it has to be analyzed together with the macro backdrop. That is why we always say that TA is not the holy grail in stock trading.
looks like today index rebounded, but how to know is it real rebound or fake rebound? what is the indicator that should we use to determine the strength of the rebound?
inwest, Good afternoon to you. Thanks for your kind words. Really great to see you pop in here. I am sure you are still picking the right stock and making the right moves.
tsy, Dunknow, ariff, jasonor, connie, duit & all, Good Afternoon.
My assessment of the market is still bearish. I still believe any rebound is not sustainable in general. Most stocks are trending up only by a few sen during this rebound. Very limited upside with most investors refusing to take up positions in this very uncertain market. We are certainly not out of the woods yet.
Jasonor, it is best to assess the market in the light of the general broader context viz the local and world economy and the political scene in order to conclude if its a real rebound or not. Some rebounds are dead cat bounce but unfortunately we will only know it is such a bounce in hindsight.
There is no indicator to determine the strength of the rebound but by analyzing your indicators like RSI or MACDs for some, can give you a hint on its strength.
