Outlook

The FBM KLCI's follow-through rebound hit its intra-week high of 1,210.36 yesterday, moving into the confines of this column's envisaged resistance zone (1,182 to 1,216 levels).

The FBM KLCI's weekly chart staged an overhead breakout of the neckline (See FBM KLCI's weekly chart - A1:A2) of its head-and-shoulders pattern formation. It continued to stay above its intermediate-term uptrend (A3:A4).

Chartwise, the FBM KLCI's daily trend continued to stay within the confines of its intermediate-term uptrend channel (See FBM KLCI's daily chart - B3:B4 and B5:B6) yesterday. It continued to stay above its immediate overhead resistance (B1:B2).

The FBM KLCI's daily, weekly and monthly fast MACDs (moving average convergence divergence) stayed above their respective slow MACDs yesterday. It augurs well for its near-term perspectives.

The FBM KLCI's 14-day RSI stayed at 70.57 per cent level yesterday. Its 14-week and 14-month RSI stayed at 74.68 and 59.93 per cent levels respectively.

Last week, this column commented that heavy-weight index-linked counters played pivotal roles in maintaining its market momentum. It did. The FBM KLCI closed at 1,208.28 points yesterday.

AMMB, BAT, CIMB and KLK posted week-on-week gains of 21-sen, RM1.02, 72-sen and 44 sen respectively. Their combined gains of RM2.39 provided the momentum thrust for the FBM KLCI in tracing out a week-on-week gain of 29.54 points, or 2.51 per cent.

Share prices on Bursa Malaysia will continue to stage their follow-through rebounds next week. Once again, heavy-weight index-linked counters will continue to lift the FBM KLCI onto higher technical grounds, heading towards the Hari Raya festive holidays.

Next week, the FBM KLCI's envisaged resistance zone hovers at the 1,211 to 1,245 levels while its immediate downside support is at the 1,170 to 1,204 levels.
