Mesdaq at the uptrend line support of 113

Yesterday, the Mesdaq had one of its worst days when 2 of its outstanding performers i.e. Iris & Mobif came down sharply. Iris, the rise of which epitomizes the rise of the Mesdaq in the past 6 months, continues its steady decent after making its double top at RM1.39 on July 13. Yesterday, Iris dropped 9 sen or 25% to 26.5 sen (see Chart 1 below). Mobif has dropped by an even bigger margin of 51% or RM1.83 to RM1.77 yesterday (see Chart 2 below). Unlike Iris, Mobif’s drop yesterday was its first day of selldown and its shareholders will likely to have many more anxious days ahead.

How did these affect the Mesdaq? From Chart 3 below, you can see that Mesdaq is now nearing its uptrend line support of 113. A break below 113 would signal further consolidation ahead. At lower level, horizontal supports can be seen at 111, 104 & 100.
