It broke above 1335 but still stays below 1341 resistance level. Today we saw the trading volume breaks above 1 billion shares for the 1st time since April’15th. This means that the retailers had started to buy on the penny stocks as you may notice many penny stocks less than RM1 are very active today. The index-linked counters are considered as consolidation but 17 out of 30 CI components are closed positive. We need to trade with caution if the volume continues to grow for the next few days and if it mainly contributed by the penny stocks.
The overall market’s trend is considered as bullish biased today as there were 466 up counters and 278 down counters with the market total traded volume increased by 32.7% to 1.12 BIL shares. However the buy rate was dropped from 52% in the morning to 47% in the afternoon session. This means that many stocks had gave back the gain in the morning and some even turned ‘RED’ in the afternoon. We expect rotational buy and rotational profit taking will take place soon, as there are many stocks are due for T+3 and T+4 in the next 1-3 days.
Today’s FBMKLCI top 5 gaining components are PPB, KLK, RHBCAP, GENM and GENTING. The top 5 lagging components are TM, AXIATA, BJTOTO, YTLPOWR and MMCCORP.
