Gamuda, TA, AMMB

As the KCLI retreated after being resisted by the 1532 level, many blue-chip counters were affected, some even breaks below their dynamic support. Nevertheless, despite the technical correction, the KLCI has not shown any signal of a downtrend formation. Below are this week's case studies.

Revision of last week's case study: Gamuda – 5398: Weak technical outlook.


Chart 1: Gamuda – 5398 as at 16/11/2010.

As shown on chart 1, price of Gamuda fell below RM 3.80, and had a sharp decline, but it found its temporary support at RM3.45 level and technical rebounded then. As indicated by A, if price of Gamuda should remain resisted by the 14, 21, 31 EMA, it would form another lower-high.

Technically, as long as price is still resisted by the 14, 21, 31 EMA, the technical outlook shall remain weak. Generally, it is a dangerous move to try to catch the falling price.

In short, if price should resume its uptrend, it must first break above the 14, 21, 31 EMA, and later forming a higher-Low, together with the increased of volume, then it is only an ideal buy signal. In the contrary, if price should break below RM3.45 support, it would be making a new low, and the next support will be at RM3.30.

TA – 4898: Technical Correction, testing dynamic support.


Chart 2: TA – 4898 as at 16/11/2010.

As shown on chart 2, after forming a higher-Low on the 20th of October, price of TA formed an uptrend, and at the same time, supported by the 14, 21, 31 EMA, and therefore, the 14, 21, 31 EMA is still serving as the dynamic support as well as the trailing stop reference.

As indicated by A, after the rally, price of TA pulled back as investors take profit, but price of TA is supported by the the 14-day EMA. If price should rebound from the 14, 21, 31 EMA, then it would form another higher-Low, thus a signal suggesting a continuation of the uptrend. Therefore, those who follow the 14, 21, 31 EMA could continue to hold, and ride with the uptrend with the lowest risk.

As for new buyers, an ideal buy signal would be a formation of a higher-Low, and the first cut-loss point would be at RM0.71 level. If price should break below RM0.71, it means that the uptrend has failed to form. Therefore, the RM0.71 is the bottom line of new buyers. If price should continue its uptrend after one should entered, then one should apply the 14, 21, 31 EMA as the trailing stop reference.

Nevertheless, we should always refer to the major market trend, and if the broad market could resumes its uptrend, then there is a better chance for the stocks which stays in uptrend to continue their uptrend. In contrary, should the broad market to continue its technical correction, then many the uptrend of many individual stocks would be affected.

AMMB – 1015: Testing important dynamic support.


Chart 3: AMMB – 1015 as at 16/11/2010.

As shown on chart 3, after hitting its peak at RM6.40 on the 1st of November, price of AMMB retreated as profit taking took place, and the correction of regional markets also affected the performance of AMMB.

As indicated by A, price of AMMB is now testing the 14, 21, 31 EMA dynamic support, and this is an important support. Ever since price of AMMB returning to above the 14, 21, 31 EMA in June, it has been supported by the 14, 21, 31 EMA, and therefore, it stayed in an uptrend.

If price should break below the 14, 21, 31 EMA, it would mark an end to the uptrend. However, even if price should break below the 14, 21, 31 EMA, it does not mean that price of AMMB would form a downtrend right away, unless it forms a lower-high.

Nevertheless, as for those who are already holding AMMB, it is a good idea to continue to hold as long as the 14, 21, 31 EMA is still supporting the uptrend. Also, it is a good idea to also allow some room for this correction, just to avoid over reacting and selling too early. Therefore, investors could set a bottom line of RM 6.00 as the cut-loss point.
