Charts in brief: 5 Jul 10.

NOL: MFI did not manage to recapture 50% as support and its continuing decline suggests a lack of demand.  RSI similarly did not manage to recapture 50% as support and this suggests the speed of decline in price is relentless. Downtrend in price is intact. Since forming an inverted hammer on 21 Jun, volume has increased as price declined.  In the last two sessions, trading volume has fallen somewhat. This might or might not be a temporary respite.  I see support at the flat 200dMA, $1.83, and resistance at a confluence of MAs, $1.98.

SPH: Price touched a high of $3.88 again. MFI is rising sharply.  Demand is strong.  OBV is rising.  Accumulation is ongoing. Volume is, however, a tad lower today.  Breaking $3.88 could possibly see a target at $4.08 reached. Resistance at $3.95, the lower high formed on 10 May, would have to be taken out first, in such a case.

Metro: This counter has been in a downtrend since it peaked on 7 Jan, touching a high of 90.5c. Since May, indicators are showing some strength returning.  MFI has been climbing since late May.  OBV has been rising since late May.  RSI has been rising since early May.  The peak in distribution happened on 25 May as an ugly black candle was accompanied by a huge spike in trading volume.  A low of 73.5c was touched in two separate sessions on 21 May and 7 Jun.  That likely is the immediate support for now.  With momentum oscillators bouyant, it is unlikely that 73.5c would be taken out anytime soon.  In fact, the 20dMA has been rising gently since middle of June. The trend is still down but the worst might just be over, for now.
