Genting SP: Obvious downtrend.

Genting SP is in an obvious downtrend.  On 5 March, I said: "If the 50wMA (93.5c) is taken out in the next session, we might see the price rising to the 20dMA, which is descending sharply and should be at 97c then. All eyes would be on whether the price action would be able to break through the 20dMA to close higher, failing which, a resumption of the downtrend is more likely. I still see strong supports provided by the 100wMA (74c) and the 200wMA (70c) then."

Genting SP's price rose past the 20dMA and reached a high of 97.5c on 17 March, forming a white spinning top in the process.  The higher high formed on the MFI shows that buying momentum has strengthened recently.  However the OBV's rise does not mirror the steep fall weeks ago which suggests that the recent accumulation is weak.

On 15 Mar, I said:"This counter has been enjoying a revival lately but on decreasing volume. Daily volume has been lower with the price moving higher since 5 March, the day when price and volume spiked up. This suggests that the buyers are, probably, mostly shortists covering their positions. This is not to say that the price cannot move higher but without a significant number of new participants coming in on the long side, any move upwards would lack sustainability."  The negative divergence in price action and volume is still quite obvious and my earlier observations are still valid.

In the event that price does move up higher, immediate resistance is provided by the 200dMA at 99.5c.  Declining 50dMA is at $1.05.  Lady Luck could be quite generous on occasions.

AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT: This is more a buy because of the strong fundamentals but it's interesting to see how the price has not been able to move beyond 21.5c this week.  The price is basically being resisted by the flat 50dMA at 21.5c.  The rising 20dMA is currently at 21c and it looks like it is on course to do a golden cross with the 50dMA.  Nice. This might take another couple of weeks.  This counter is still basing and the top of the base formation is at 23c.

China Hongxing: A sell signal is seen on the MACD today, the first in almost two weeks.   The descending 20dMA nears 15c next week and this might pressure the price to move lower.  Please see: China Hongxing: Downside target?

FSL Trust: It had a nice run up recently but the price action has detached from the upper limits of the Bollinger bands. Is this a sign that price will correct downwards? If we observe how the price action has been affected by the rising 20dMA recently, we would notice that the 20dMA was pushing up the price, forming steps in the process. So, FSL Trust has been doing a correction using time instead of a correction in price. Could it continue its winning streak? The technicals point to the negative.

The MFI has been in decline in the last few sessions, suggesting that the buying momentum is fizzling out.  The MACD's rise is also less vigorous now and the distance with the signal line has narrowed, increasing the chances of a bearish crossover.  The 200dMA has also flattened, together with the 50d and 100d MAs.  Being trapped in a sideways trading range might a more probable near term development.  Support is seen at 60c thereabouts, the confluence of the 50d and 100d MAs.

Golden Agriculture:  MACD seems poised to make a bearish crossover with the signal line.  Price action formed a doji today, signalling indecision.  Someone said to me that the price refuses to fall to the supports I have identified.  Well, we could consider a hedge and buy a bid above initial support which means buying at 56c.  Hedging has always worked for me.  All MAs are still uptrending and I believe that buying at supports is still the way to go.

Healthway Medical:  Similarly here, the MACD seems poised to make a bearish crossover with the signal line.  Although the MFI has been forming lower highs and lower lows, the malaise has been accompanied by decreasing volume.  So, there is no heavy selling. 

Rising 20d and 50d MAs are at 16.5c and 16c respectively.  It remains to be seen if the price action will respond to these two MAs or will it respond more to the 100dMA like what happened in mid-February.  Remember that low volume does not mean that price cannot drift lower.  This is quite evident in the price decline which happened from 26 Jan to 12 Feb on declining volumes.  The 100dMA is currently at 14c.

Saizen REIT:  Saizen REIT closed unchanged at 16.5c, a price it has maintained for the last three sessions.  This is admirable if we notice how the counter has been subjected to some heavy selling which suggests that support is strong.  The uptrend, though gentle, is quite obvious.
