Spritzr rallied after breaking above the strong horizontal line at RM1.15-1.20. The present rally has put the stock at an oversold position, setting the stage for a near-term correction.

Conclusion

Based on good financial performance & still attractive valuation, Spritzr is a good stock for long-term investment. However, I expect short-term profit-taking activities to cap its upside at RM1.90-2.00.
