SMRT: Downtrend intact.

Technically speaking, SMRT doesn't look good and I am not referring to its trains stalling. OK, bad joke.

Lower high and lower low in price are accompanied by a lower high and lower low in the MACD which is in negative territory. The downtrending MFI suggests reduced demand as the 50% line acted as resistance.

However, forming a doji provides some encouragement for long holders. The doji represents indecision and is a stalemate between bulls and bears.

That the doji formed despite higher volume on a day when price went lower than the low of the previous session suggests that there is some buying support. However, it could also be traders covering their short positions ahead of the weekends.

Single stick reversal signals are usually less reliable. For anyone who is interested in going long here, look out for confirmation next Monday.

If the signal is not confirmed, a lower low could form. $1.70? Perhaps.

Hyflux: Retest of recent high.

Resistance at $1.28 gave way today as price retested the recent high of $1.35. Volume was relatively high. This translates into a higher probability of price pushing higher in the next session. Remember that volume is the fuel that drives rallies.

MACD continues to rise in positive territory. Buying momentum is still positive and strengthening. The MFI continues to rise after bouncing off 50% a few sessions ago. This suggests that demand is still strong.

There is a chance of the counter's price testing $1.39 in the near future. However, I would be happy to divest partially at $1.365 where price could close the gap formed in early November 2011.
