My overnight buy order for Hyflux at $1.20 was filled. Looking at the daily chart, it is immediately clear why I put in a buy order at that level. It is support. Even with a confirmation of a reversal signal, we want to buy as close to support as possible. Of course, luck plays a part because in very bullish circumstances, price could have gapped up and gone higher.
A white hammer was formed again today as price moved marginally higher on the back of lower volume. It was a weak white candle day. Bulls seemed to be rather cautious as the weekend is always a wild card. If nothing untoward happens this weekend, price could resume its upward climb. Immediate resistance is at $1.28 in such an instance.
It would be interesting to see if price could rise as high as $1.39 which is where the declining 50dMA is approximating. Of course, in another few sessions, the 50dMA would be lower and a gap filling at $1.365 could prove to be a rather strong resistance.
Today, I also bought more AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT at 95c. This means a pre-consolidation price of 19c per unit. For long time unitholders, it would immediately look cheap. At that price, we are looking at a distribution yield of 10.5%. The fundamentals of the REIT have not deteriorated. Well, not that I know of. So, the weakness provided me a chance to increase exposure to the REIT.
Regular readers might remember that I divested a significant portion of my investment in this REIT and moved the funds to Sabana REIT to have equal weightage in these two industrial properties S-REITs. The only way to entice me to increase my investment in this REIT once more is to offer a meaningfully higher distribution yield, everything else remaining equal, and that happened today. So, you would see me accumulating on further weakness. 90c next?
Technnically, despite a spike in volume as price gapped down today, all that was formed at the end of the day was a doji. To me, that is an encouraging sign for long holders.
