Golden Agriculture: Triangle.

Accumulation of shares in Golden Agriculture seems to have come to a halt as the OBV flattens. Over a shorter term, momentum oscillators are still rising but this could change quickly.  The MACD histogram has turned red and volume shrank dramatically today as price action formed a doji, suggesting indecision.

The technicals are somewhat ambivalent at this stage.  Up or down?  The probability seems to be quite even either way.  If we look at the bigger picture, we would understand why.  It seems that price action is forming a large symmetrical triangle. Volume has also been declining.  Which way would its price go?  Being in a symmetrical triangle, price could go either way.

Personally, I am vested in Golden Agriculture because I believe in its fundamentals.  CPO price is up again today at RM2,674. This is an increase of 1.75%.  However, for anyone who is in doubt and feeling unsure, staying out is the best thing to do.

CapitaMalls Asia: Upgraded by Daiwa.

CapitaMalls Asia broke out of a downtrend on 2 Sep and touched a high of $2.25.  Today, Daiwa upgraded CapitaMalls Asia to outperform but the share price fell instead to $2.20.  Could price fall further?

The MACD histogram has turned red. This is a sell signal. MFI has formed a lower high which suggests weakening demand. OBV shows a slowdown in accumulation but there isn't any serious reversal.  RSI has dipped and left the overbought territory behind.  The current weakness could just be a correction from overbought conditions. If so, where is the next support?

I see the next support at $2.14, a many times tested candlestick resistance level and should be a strong support. This is also where we find the downtrend resistance line which the counter broke out of on 2 Sep. This price level is likely to be fresh on the minds of market participants.

CapitaMalls Asia upgraded to Outperform by Daiwa... says property group’s recent $788.9 million joint acquisition with CapitaLand (C31.SG) of Singapore’s Bedok Town Centre site, which can be developed into residential-cum-retail property, reinforces CMA’s dominance in local retail property market.
