Case Studies: [7164], [5398], [5099].

As the Dow Jones Industrial Average breaks new high, coupled with the possible Chinese New Year rally tradition, many counters are likely to rally. An informed investor should always be prepared for any opportunity as well as a sound trading plan to protect their capital. Investors should pick stocks that they are familiar with, while following the overall direction of the broad market. This week, we had 3 counters case studies for discussion.

KNM

Chart 1: KNM, chart from 10/07/2009 to 29/12/2009.

As shown on chart 1, price of KNM rebounded strongly at RM0.71 level on the 15th of September, 2009, and it reached its RM0.875 level, but failed to test the previous high of RM0.915 level. Then, price retreated, and formed a lower-high, thus forming a L1 downtrend line. Despite the falling of price, it is still supported by RM0.71, and therefore, the RM0.71 level is still the support for KNM, and investors are likely to have a positive memory at the RM0.71 level.

As indicated by A, after rebounding from the RM0.71 level, price of KNM broke above the 14, 21, 31 EMA, suggesting that it is likely to break away from the T1 downtrend. However, despite the breakout above the T1 line, volume did not increased significantly, thus the break out signal was not strong.

Nevertheless, if price of KNM should continue to stay above the 14, 21, 31 EMA, the immediate outlook for KNM is still on the positive side. If volume should increase, the upside movement of KNM is likely to sustain, and the 14, 21, 31 EMA shall continue serving as the dynamic support as well as the trailing stop reference, and the next resistance are found at RM0.815 followed by RM0.865 level.

Gamuda

Chart 2: Gamuda – 5398, from 7/10/2009 to 29/12/2009.

As shown on Chart 2, price of Gamuda has been falling since it touched its peak of RM3.44 on the 3rdof August, 2009. Until now, it has fallen RM 0.83 or 24%. As indicated by A, price of Gamuda is now testing the RM 2.60 level, which is the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement line, by taking the lowest RM 1.25 and the highest RM3.44 level.

Technically, price is likely to find a support at the 38.2% retracement line. If price should rebound from this level, it is likely that the current downtrend might pause for a consolidation. (Refer to Chart 3)

Chart 3: Gamuda – 5398, chart from 9/9/2009 to 29/12/2009.

Since Gamuda is likely to rebound at the 38.2% Fibonacci Retracement line, (RM2.60), let us study the condition of a rebound, and be prepared for a possible reversal, if it happens. As indicated by A, price of Gamuda is still staying below the Bollinger Middle Band, thus the immediate outlook is still bearish biased.

If price should rebound from the RM2.60 level, and break above the Bollinger Middle Band, the immediate outlook for Gamuda shall improve, and the next criteria for a reversal would be the re-expansion of the Bollinger Bands, coupled with a substantial increased of volume.

If the above conditions has met, investors could followed the signal as a buy signal, while the Bollinger Middle Band shall serve as the immediate dynamic support as well as the trailing stop reference.

However, if price should failed to rebound from the RM 2.60 level, it would be a new low, thus the downtrend remains intact.
