Case Studies [Scomi] [LG] [EO]

Generally, there are three types of uptrend, one that is a sharp rally of price without any consolidation nor correction, but this type of uptrend is usually short-lived, and hard to capture, and also risky. The other type of uptrend is the type with low gradient or slow rising pace, and this type of uptrend takes longer to form and usually last longer. The last type of uptrend is the most ideal type of uptrend, with rallies and correction, forming higher-lows and followed by breaking previous resistance (new highs), which associated with strong volume. This week, let us continue looking for some uptrend characteristics by studying some case studies together with a revision of last week's E&O, to see if it has already formed an uptrend.

Scomi: Strong technical rebound, could form an uptrend

Chart 1: Scomi (01/12/200931/03/2010)

As shown on the chart above, price of Scomi rebounded after finding its support at RM0.38, and later broke above the 14, 21, 31 EMA as indicated by A, with strong volume as indicated by B. This suggests that its has broken away from its downtrend and it could form an uptrend.

Ideally, the best uptrend would be a one with a formation of a higher-low. Therefore, if price should retreat and form a higher-low above the 14, 21, 21 EMA, it would be a characteristic of an ideal uptrend. But during a correction, volume should be relatively lower, for this would mean that the selling pressure is not too strong.

Technically, if price should form an higher-low and rebound from the 14, 21, 31 EMA, it would be a buy signal and best confirmed with strong volume. After buying, the 14, 21, 31 EMA would serve as the dynamic support as well as the trailing stop reference.

Chart 2: L&G (01/12/200931/03/2010)

As shown on chart 2, price of L&G formed an Ascending Triangle, with L1 line being the dynamic support while the L2 (RM0.515) being the immediate resistance line. An Ascending Triangle implies some bullish biased for the price has already formed a higher-low but the upside room is still capped by the resistance line, thus limiting the upside movement.

As indicated by A, price of L&G breaks above the RM0.515 by margin, with increased of volume. This suggests that some inflow of fresh capital to off set the selling pressure. If price should stay above the RM0.515, it would be a valid bullish break out above the Ascending Triangle, thus a buy signal.

Meanwhile, the 14, 21, 31 EMA and the L1 line shall continue serving as the dynamic support as well as the trailing stop reference. Technically, provided that price should stay above these dynamic support, the uptrend shall remain intact. If price should break below the dynamic support, it would be a signal to take profit or to cut loss. Next resistance is seen at RM0.64 level while the support is at RM0.48.

Revision of last week's Case Studies: E&O

Chart 3: E&O (5/1/201031/03/2010)

As shown on chart 3, price of E&O formed an Ascending Triangle, with price forming a higher-low above the 14, 21, 31 EMA and later, breaking above the RM 1.04 resistance line. As indicated by A, after breaking RM1.04, price retreated due to profit taking, but it managed to stay above the RM 1.04 level.

Technically, the 14, 21, 31 EMA is still serving as the dynamic support as well as the trailing reference. If price should stay above the 14, 21, 31 EMA, the uptrend shall remains intact, and if price should break below the 14, 21, 31 EMA, it would be a signal to cut loss of the take profit.
