CapitaMalls Asia: White spinning top.

A possible reversal signal is observed in CapitaMalls Asia's chart today: a white spinning top.  This has happened on the back of lower volumes as its price declined, suggesting a classic textbook case of a low volume pullback.  MFI has flattened while the OBV is still showing a gradual rise.  This suggests that the selling momentum has stalled and that accumulation is ongoing.

The 50dMA seems determined to act as the immediate support as its rate of decline slows.  The price action is caught between the 50dMA and the 20dMA which has flattened at $2.31.

Bollinger bands will squeeze as the volatility in price action falls.  The probability of an upward movement in price is higher than a downward movement in this instance.  The target of such an upward movement is the top of the base formation which is also where we find major resistance and that is at $2.55.

Saizen REIT: 1,627 lots bought up.

It is quite obvious that Saizen REIT is rangebound between 16c and 17c since late February.  The gradually rising MAs suggest that the longer term uptrend is intact.

Today, a single buy order at 3pm mopped up the entire sell queue at 16.5c. 1,627 lots bought up.  This caused the MFI and OBV to turn sharply up.  The MFI has been dipping in and out of the oversold region recently.  There is a lot of room for the index to move in the event of an upturn in price before it becomes overbought.

Is the high volume buy up today a one-off event or is it the beginning of more aggressive buy ups? Your guess is as good as mine. My purchase of Saizen REIT units is based on its compelling valuation and a potential upgrade by rating agencies.  I shall wait and see.
