MARKET DATELINE

Market Technical Reading


Resumption Of The Corrective Wave Imminent...

Chart 1: FBM KLCI Daily Chart 2: FBM KLCI Intraday

Local Market Leads:

♦ In the absence of clear trading catalysts, the FBM KLCI eased lower for a second day on quiet trading on
Wednesday.

♦ The key benchmark FBM KLCI kicked off the day negatively in response to the the late selloff in the overnight US
markets, before settling at 1,276.02 with a decline of 6.95 pts or 0.54%.

♦ The overall turnover continued to shrink for the fifth day to 585m shares, with nearly a quarter of the day’s
volume contributed by Kenmark (+5.5sen) on highly speculative interest. Market breadth was mixed, as losers
slightly topped gainers by 294 to 287.

♦ Trading sentiment remained lukewarm due to external uncertainties. Investors liquidated their positions ahead of
the FIFA World Cup final due to kick off on 11 June.

♦ Elsewhere, Asian markets finished mixed. SET outperformed the rest of regional indices with a 1.18% gain, but
Nikkei 225 dropped 1.12% after Japan’s Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama announced his resignation.

Technical Interpretations:

♦ After trading within a tight trading range throughout most of the day, the FBM KLCI ended abruptly lower at its
day low of 1,276.02 on a last-minute selloff.

♦ Registered with a negative candle on the chart, this has confirmed the earlier “hangman” candle.

♦ Again, the index failed to recapture the tough 10-day SMA near 1,278. This has enhanced the negativeness on
the near-term chart outlook.

♦ Technically, retracting to the 1,250 level and the recent low of 1,243.86 appears imminent.

♦ For now, its upside will be limited to the 10-day SMA. Further resistance will be at the technical gap at 1,290.51 –
1,300.44, and the 1,300 support-turn-resistance psychological barrier.

Daily Trading Strategy:

♦ In line with our expectation, the FBM KLCI extended its losing streak for a second day.

♦ The failure to cross even to above the 10-day SMA and the lack of a confirmation candle for a possible negative
reversal ahead suggest a resumption of the recent corrective wave imminent.

♦ We expect a retest of the immediate support level of 1,250 and the recent low of 1,243.86 soon.

♦ Therefore, we maintain the FBM KLCI’s near- to medium-term bearish view, and stick to our correction target
region of between the 23.6% FR level at 1,229 and the 38.2% FR level near 1,154. In between these levels is a
psychological level at 1,200.

♦ In the meantime, the 10-day SMA and the 1,300 psychological barrier will act as a major resistance to any
attempt on the upside.

Chart 3: FKLI Daily Chart 4: FKLI Intraday

Technical Interpretations:

♦ In contrast to the cash market, the KL futures market bounced back on mild bargain-hunting support on
Wednesday.

♦ After retesting the key support of 1,270 on Tuesday, the FKLI staged a timely rebound and shrugged off the
overnight weakness from the US markets.

♦ For the day, the FKLI for June contract was up 7.00 pts or 0.55% to 1,279.50.

♦ This helped the futures index to end the day marginally above the 10-day SMA of 1,278, refreshing hopes for a
further recovery ahead.

♦ However, closing the day with a “positive harami” candle, it lacks confirmation for a strong follow-through buying
today.

♦ The FKLI must collect another positive candle to lure back buying confidence, and it must at least stay above the
1,270 support level in the immediate term.

♦ Failing to do so will jeopardise any attempt for a technical rebound.

♦ Immediate hurdles stay at the technical gap of 1,292.5 – 1,296 and the key psychological level of 1,300.

♦ Immediate downside support below 1,270 is at the recent low of 1,240.50, followed by 1,200.

Daily Trading Strategy:

♦ The timely surge to above the 10-day SMA yesterday keeps hopes alive for a potential rebound ahead.

♦ But, we remain negative on the outlook and believe that it will fail its attempt to retake 1,300.

♦ The futures index is projected to swing from 1,269 to 1,283 today.

Chart 5: US Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) Daily Chart 6: US Nasdaq Composite Daily

US Market Leads:

♦ Led by fresh bargain-hunting support on energy and other recent battered down stocks, the US major gauges
recouped almost the entire loss of the previous days by launching a powerful technical rebound on Wednesday.

♦ Energy stocks rallied the most, after Halliburton (+12%) said the offshore oil industry had plenty of work even as
the US government imposed a six-month moratorium on deep-water drilling.

♦ Apart from that, investors also cheered the better-than-expected US pending home sales and auto sales, which
boosted optimism over the US economic recovery prospects.

♦ Homes sales rose 6% in Apr, hitting its highest level since Oct as buyers took advantage on tax credit. While Ford
Motor Co. (+4%), General Motors and Chrysler Group all reported double-digit yoy sales increases in May.

♦ On the NYMEX, the US light sweet crude oil futures for July delivery added US$0.28 or 0.4% to US$72.86/barrel.

Technical Interpretations:

Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA)

♦ Instead of extending its losing leg, the US DJIA made a surprise comeback on Wednesday, rallying 225.52 pts or
2.25% to 10,249.54.

♦ It has again reclaimed the important technical support level of 10,150 with a huge bullish candle, suggesting
possible follow-through recovery ahead.

♦ However, it still needs to overcome the 21-day SMA of 10,435 to boost its short-term momentum.

♦ Otherwise, there is still risk for a pullback on the back of poorer momentum readings. Losing 10,150 again will
lead to another selldown to the recent low of 9,774.48, near the lower target at the 9,200 – 9,700 region.

Nasdaq Composite (Nasdaq)

♦ The Nasdaq Composite Index also soared 58.74 pts or 2.64% to 2,281.07 on Wednesday, and reclaimed more
than the recent lost ground with a huge bullish candle on the chart.

♦ But the short-term momentum readings have turned mixed with the stochastic oscillators issuing a marginal
“sell” signal. Therefore, this suggests a further penetration of the 21-day SMA of 2,304 is rather difficult for this
week.

♦ For now, the index should range between 2,190 and 2,330.

Daily Technical Watch:
Chart 7: Annjoo Daily Chart 8: Annjoo Intraday

Ann Joo Resources (6556)

RM2.40 and the 10-day SMA will become the immediate resistance levels…

♦ The share price of AnnJoo reversed its nine-month old uptrend after touching a high of RM3.35 in Jan 2010.

♦ The stock retreated to a low of RM2.40 on profit-taking move, but eventually stabilised at above the supportive
level of RM2.70.

♦ However, after a failed attempt to retake the RM2.98 level in Apr 2010, the stock turned lower again and this
time round, with a stronger selling momentum.

♦ The stock formed two technical gaps on the chart before losing the key level of RM2.70 and confirmed a bearish
switch for the medium-term outlook with a cut of the 10-day SMA to below the 40-day SMA.

♦ Yesterday, it registered its third bearish candle in a row, indicating a “three black crows” pattern after losing the
RM2.40 level recently. This pattern suggests more bearish outcome in the near term.

♦ Given the latest fallout and the fresh negative readings on the momentum indicators, we foresee a test to the
RM2.17 support level soon.

♦ Should it lose this level quickly, a steeper fall ahead can be anticipated towards the RM1.42 – RM1.70 support
region next.

♦ The support-turn-resistance level of RM2.40 and the 10-day SMA near RM2.42 will be the immediate resistance
levels for the stock from now on.

Technical Readings:

♦ 10-day SMA: RM2.424

♦ 40-day SMA: RM2.73

♦ Support: IS = RM2.17 S1 = RM1.70 S2 = RM1.42

♦ Resistance: IR = RM2.40 R1 = RM2.70 R2 = RM2.98
