For week ending October 30th 2009

Advantest (TYO:6857)

As the week came to a close, Advantest ended at ¥2,368, creating a bearish weekly candle. Failure to
pass through ¥2,548 seemed to have put the stock in a bearish setup for the coming week. Downside
supports are seen at ¥2,181, ¥1,950, and ¥1,581. While we cannot rule out that the upside is over, it
is likely that for now Advantest will undergo a corrective fall as indicated by falling MACD both on
the weekly and the daily charts. Upside resistances lie at ¥2,401, ¥2,425, and ¥2,449. These levels
could be challenged early next week, but they could be used as entry points for SHORT positions.

To negate the bearish picture, the stock should break through the key resistance at ¥2,548. Also,
Wednesday will see the announcement of consolidated financial results for 2nd quarter of fiscal
2009.
 Cathay Pacific (HKG:0293)

Failed to clear the previous week’s peak at $13.63, Cathay Pacific flipped downwards and ended the
week in a bearish engulfing candle. The weekly MACD also falling, as well as the daily MACD.
Supports on the downside are seen at $12.04, $11.06, and $10.28. Shorting into rallies would be the
strategy for next week. Shorts could be entered around $12.95 and $13.08.

Early next week I expect a direct push downwards instead of zigzag movement up. Also, we can spot
a bearish divergence on the daily chart between the price and the MACD, thereby further bolstering
the bearish sentiment.
 PetroChina (HKG:0857)

PetroChina continued to rally last week and managed to bypass the hurdle at $10.21. So far the
stock had climbed 159% from its trough on late October 2008 ($4.06). Upside potential remains for
next week, although we can stumble upon the rising parallel channel top at around $10.70. Still, with
weekly and daily MACD as well as hourly MACD still suggesting strength, we can expect the stock will
move out of the channel upwards towards $12.14 or even $14.04.

Downside, $9.96 and $9.18 will offer supports. Watch out for potential bearish divergence between
the price and its MACD developing on the hourly chart. Only a break of $8.51/$8.52 twin supports on
the weekly chart will ease up the bullish pressure.
