FBM KLCI - a healthy profit-taking correction


Stocks on Bursa Malaysia ended lower yesterday, with the key index falling 0.20%, dragged down by losses in heavyweight counters. The benchmark FBM KLCI which has been hovering above the 1,500 psychological level, slipped 3.09 points to close at 1506.57 after opening 0.15 point lower at 1509.51. Decliners outnumbered advancers by 463 to 279 while 320 counters were unchanged.

The FBM KLCI opened 0.15 point lower at 1509.51 and continued to slip lower throughout the day. Last minute bargain-hunting of selected key heavyweights helped lift the key index off its intra-day low of 1504.72 to close the day at 1506.57. Chart-wise the key index formed a bearish black candlestick which covered the gap formed on Monday. The price action of the FBM KLCI yesterday also confirmed the reversal signal issued by the spinning-top candlestick formed on Monday. The key index, however, still manage to close above the 5 and 10-day moving average lines.

MACD has hooked downward and continue to remain below its signal line, indicating a resumed of the downward momentum. RSI (14) has retraced from the reading of 73.8 the day before to 70, reflecting the current correction, nevertheless is still in the very bullish zone. Stochastic at 93.8 continued to climb higher but is tapering off. Mixed signals from the indicators indicate that the FBM KLCI might goes into a short term consolidation.
