Market Outlook as at June 19, 2020

Last week's correction has brought the FBMKLCI to the medium-term uptrend line, SS at 1500. The index is now hovering just below the long-term downtrend line, RR which stretches back to April 2018. With MACD hooked down and Stochastic RSI in the oversold territory, the index may continue to consolidate for a while. A break below the 1500 level could send the index to the 1450 level, which is the line connecting the recent lows after the rally began in March.

The weakness among the blue chip stocks - especially among the glove stocks - have not stopped the play among the 2nd and 3rd liner stocks. In fact, small-cap stocks and tech stocks have been charging higher, which reflects a similar trend in Nasdaq. See the charts for Dow and Nasdaq below.

Based on the above, I believe the broad market may hold steady for this week. Trading will continue to be choppy, and it will favor those who are nimble and ruthless. Good luck!!
