Hi Alex,
ReplyDeleteLooks like Ho Hup is back again.
May i have your view?
Thanks!
Hi lai,
ReplyDeleteHohup did a neat trick in April when it made a new high in the current rally before selling down.
I fear that it might do the same again. The sudden run-up has all the hallmark of another neat trick.
"Trick me once, shame on you. Trick me twice, shame on me."
hi alex, how about mitra this share? thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi Alex,
ReplyDeletebased on technical consideration, what is your target price for IWcity (Tebrau)?
Thank you.
Hi lai
ReplyDeleteHo Hup is a tricky. Is the rally of Aug 8 & 11 a breakout of an intermediate downtrend? If so, it may retest the recent high of RM1.70.
Is it a corrective phase within an intermediate downtrend? If so, we should sell into this rebound.
The entire property sector is in state of confusion. It has weakened considerably and yet we are still seeing massive land acquisition by the property players. What's really going on the market?
Hi hs liu
ReplyDeleteMitra broke above its horizontal resistance at RM0.93. This signal the continuation of its prior uptrend. It has reached the first target of RM1.02-1.05. Next target could be RM1.30.
Hi lai
ReplyDeleteIWcity's immediate resistance is at RM1.80. If it can cross that level, it may go to RM2.40.
Kenanga valued it at RM3.39 (cum-rights).
