Healthway Medical: A beautiful symmetry

Healthway Medical closed 0.5c higher at 19c today on much reduced volume. MFI has flattened in the overbought region and OBV inched up ever so slightly. I am a believer in chart patterns. See how the cup formation troughed at 9.5c and topped out at 14.5c? The target price in case of a breakout of the top of the formation is just a projection of the trough to the top and beyond which gives us 19.5c. This target price was reached in just one week from the midpoint of the cup pattern at 12c. Fast and furious indeed. Will it find fuel to extend the run or will it soon turn lower? It is quite obvious that there is more risk of a downside than a probability of an upside at this stage. I sold more shares in Healthway Medical today and I am left holding only 25% of my original investment. Why not sell all? It pays to remember that the market can be perverse. Always hedge.

Breaking 19.5c resistance will give an eventual target of 24c. Any correction in price will find initial support at 16.5c with a stronger support at 15c.

Saizen REIT: Sell signal negated

Saizen REIT's sell signal on the MACD was negated today with the MFI turning up and forming a higher low in the process. Are things picking up? The price closed at 17c today which is a resistance level provided by the previous high on 26 Aug 09. However, the volume which accompanied the upmove today was much lower and in fact, the negative divergence between price and volume from early October till now is quite clear.

If 17c is taken out convincingly, the initial target is 19c. The rapidly declining 100wMA at 21c should put a cap on gains should 19c be taken out this week. I continue to see support at 15.5c and will wait to accumulate at that level.
