Market Outlook as at March 1, 2017

FBMKLCI broke below the medium-term "uptrend line" at 1705 on Feb 24. MACD has also crossed below the MACD signal line, indicating further downside.

On a longer time period (Chart 2), we can see that past breakdown of the medium-term uptrend line had led to sustained downtrend. Will this time be different?

Looking at the monthly chart, we can see that MACD has crossed above the MACD signal line. I have denoted the past 6 occasions when this has happened (A, B, C, D, E & F) and in all these occasions, the market has gone higher.

In my opinion, we are seeing short-term weakness which may not be very severe because the market may be set for the continuation of its long-term uptrend.
