Raffles Education: Oriental Century to delist.

News of delisting of Oriental Century seems to have impacted the share price of Raffles Education negatively today as price closed at 28c on higher volume. That 28c support is still holding up perhaps shows that the bad news has already been factored into the price.

Although we could see price going lower once the news is digested by market participants, fundamentally, I do not see Raffles Education's numbers too badly affected since Oriental Century is really old news.

Despite today's somewhat higher volume, a picture of low volume pullback is still quite clear. Higher lows on the MFI and RSI also suggest underlying support in momentum. OBV does not show any signs of distribution.

If 28c breaks, the next support is at 26.5c. Immediate resistance is at 29c.

I would keep an eye on the technicals as this counter could still have a nice recovery story.

Oriental Century to liquidate, delist from SGX. As Oriental Century is insolvent with very limited resources, it will not be able to make any exit offer to its shareholders. Raffles Education holds 29.9% of Oriental Century.
