After falling sharply on Thurs, the FBM KLCI rebounded on Friday, gaining 6.56 points or 0.41%, to close at 1624.55 points. As indicated by A, the KLCI has not returned above 1625 support level, and also, with the KLCI below the 14, 21, 31 EMA, the immediate technical outlook is slightly on the negative side. Next support for the KLCI is at 1600 psychological level.

As indicated by B, total market volume fell 11.71%, with volume failing to reach the 40-day Volume Moving Average. Generally, if volume should continue to stay low, it shows that investors are reluctant to participate while being cautious. Also, without sufficient volume, the KLCI or the market as a whole is less likely to pick up its strength.

As indicated by C, the Stochastic rebounded after touching 0%, suggesting a normal pullback effect after the short-term over-sold condition. But if the Stochastic should remain below 30%, it suggests that the short-term movement of the KLCI is still weak.

As mentioned yesterday, the sharp fall of the KLCI could be short-lived, and coupled with the short-term over-sold condition, the KLCI having a rebound is only normal. However, since the uptrend has been interrupted, the positive technical outlook of the KLCI has also temporary ended. But it is still too soon to call for any downtrend formation.
