Market Outlook as at November 30, 2015

As at 9.30am, FBNKLCI was down 12 points to 1670. Looking through the various indices, it seems that our market is likely to drift lower. The weakness is fairly pronounced amongst the blue chip stocks as reflected in FBMKLCI breaking below its intermediate uptrend line. This uptrend line took the FBMKLCI from the lower boundary of an irregular downward channel to the upper boundary of that channel. With the breakdown of the intermediate uptrend line, FBMKLCI is likely to drift lower.

2nd liner stocks (as represented by FBM70) is also in an irregular downward channel. It failed to surpass the upper line of the channel and it may be breaking the steep uptrend line. If so, FBM70 will drift lower.

Overall, we can see that our technical rebound may have ran its course. The two remaining areas of relative strength - ACE market & fledgling stocks - are now exhibiting tentative toppish sign. We have to be very careful in our trading as the risk-to-reward proposition has now tipped against us.
