WinChart Announcement - English

On Tuesday, the KLCI had its intraday high reaching 1646.97 points. However, profit taking was active in the afternoon session, pushing the KLCI a little lower, erasing some of its earlier gains to close at 1639.15 points, gaining 3.19 points. Still, the KLCI is making another historical new high. As indicated by A, the 14, 21, 31 EMA is still serving as the dynamic support while the L2 uptrend line remains intact.

As indicated by B, total market volume gained 21.09%, with volume above the 40-day Volume Moving Average. This shows that the market overall is actively participated. Generally, with volume above the 40-day Volume Moving Average, it is likely to help sustain the improving market sentiment.

As circled at C, the Stochastic stays above 70%, in its short-term bullish territory. This suggests that the KLCI short-term is still bullish, and if the Stochastic should break below 70%, it would be a signal suggesting a correction signal.

In conclusion, after making historical new highs consecutively, it is normal if investors are taking profit. Ideally, if the KLCI should have a correction, a lower market volume would suggest a healthy consolidation or correction. Also, if the KLCI could rebound from the L2 line or the 14, 21, 31 EMA after its correction or consolidation, it means that the uptrend is still intact. In short, with the KLCI above the 14, 21, 31 EMA and the L2 line, the technical outlook for the KLCI remains positive.
