Healthway Medical: 17c support.

Some large transactions sold down shares of Healthway Medical at 17c today.  Volume, although higher, is not very much so.  Would the selling pressure continue? Where is the next support?

The MACD is plunging into negative territory, widening its distance from the signal line as it does so.  The momentum has clearly turned negative. With the lower highs we see in the MFI, it is obvious that demand is weakening.  OBV which has been sloping downwards gently took a bigger dip today, suggesting consistent distribution which accelerated today.

For sure, there is a chance price could decline further.  If it happens, the next support is at 16c, a many times tested support level in April. Given Healthway Medical's fundamentals, I feel that it is expensive even at 16c but we might see momentum oscillators entering oversold territories by then and that could bring about a brief rebound. I would pay attention to the volume as price declines.

Saizen REIT: Sold down.

A few big transactions today, selling down Saizen REIT units.  One single transaction sold down 2m units at 15.5c.  This caused the OBV to plunge today and the MFI to sink deeper into negative territory. Distribution coupled by a reduced demand.  Not a pretty picture.

However, checking for announcements by Saizen REIT did not show any sale by insiders or substantial shareholders.  I suspect some retail investors are losing patience again.  Momentum is clearly negative as the MACD continues to decline beneath the signal line in negative territory.

At this rate, we could possibly see 15c tested as the next support. If that happens, I would buy more.

....Japan’s property market, the world’s second-largest and heavily leveraged, was hit hard by the onset of the global financial crisis and has yet to see a major investment since then.

But some Asian investors including wealthy Chinese individuals have begun showing an appetite for assets in Japan, whose property market is considered relatively transparent and yields stable returns.
