Market Outlook as at July 15, 2010

Our present market remains me of the market in 2007. Despite bearish divergence in some indicators & the declining volume, the market in 2007 swung wildly with an upward bias. Today, we see the same signs- bearish divergence in indicators & declining volume- but the market also seems to defy all odd. To me, the present market is tracing out a rounding top in the same manner that had happened in 2007. The completion of this top would happen when the market suffers a severe drop which would trigger the death cross (when the 50-day SMA line crosses below the 200-day SMA line). Until then, we must remain cautious.

Let's take note that the mischievous bull of 2007 ended with a bang where it zoomed up to a new high before expiring. Would the current bull pull off a similar trick?

hi alex,

great observation. i also notice that our market keep on defy the odds and go higher. wonder who is in the market pushing up the market.

hi MaxWealth88

Msports does not look very convincing. Chartwise, it is still in a downtrend, with the downtrend line resistance is at RM0.44-45. I think it's better to give this one a miss.
