Technical Analysis


-- Penta Weekly Chart --


Penta is trending a bullish phase. As with all stocks, it underwent corrections along its way which is a normal process, taking breathers, so to speak. The resulting bearish sentiment bearing on the stock from its shooting star in the week of 24/4 brought its price down to 0.575, testing its strong support at 0.605. This support held up very well when it closed at 0.605 and 0.60 during the weeks of 1/5 an 8/5 respectively. A break in its resilient resistance at 0.685 will confirm the resumption of its bullish trend. For mid-term traders, you may want to stop loss should 0.605 be violated. 


-- Penta Daily Chart --

On the daily chart, the white marubozu of 29/4 sent a strong potential reversal signal.  Together with its subsequent trading patterns that revealed a strong implication of sellers' exhaustion, it is poised to trend higher with a high probability of taking it into new price territories.  Immediate support rest at 0.63 backed up by its strong support at 0.605.  A break in its resistance of 0.685 bodes well for it to test its resistance at 0.745.  A breakthrough of 0.745 will send Penta to its target prices of 0.82, 0.91 and 0.96 respectively.  Its strong financial performances registered recently will be the key catalyst for it to bring its target prices to fruition. For short term traders, you will want to stop loss should 0.63 be violated.

SENDAI (EVERSENDAI CORPORATION BHD)

Periodically,  TCB will pick a stock we may like to trade short term.  So, this week, TCB have selected the stock, SENDAI as our *Stock In Focus (SIF)*.  Please do not take this as a buy signal as our TA reading for these stocks are for sharing purpose only.  Do calculate your own risk/reward ratio if you decided to trade this counter. 



Background Information


Eversendai Corporation Berhad, an investment holding company, provides steel fabrication, structural design, shop drawing, and steel erection services. The company is involved in the structural steel design, engineering, supply, and fabrication; structural steel erection services for high rise buildings, shopping malls/ retail centres, stadiums, airports, long span roof structures, industrial, power, and petrochemical plants, as well as factories, warehouses, and bridges; and installation of mechanical equipment, pressure parts, pipes ducts, clads, and control systems for power plants.

In addition, the company is engaged in the provision of management services; civil engineering and general contracting services; and steel fabrication and painting services. It operates in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, India, and the United Arab Emirates. The company was founded in 1982 and is based in Rawang, Malaysia.



Technical Analysis


A potential awakening of a beaten down stock could be an apt description of Sendai's technical chart. It's stock price peaked at 1.74 on 17/7/2003 and then took an ensuing downward journey that took it all the way down to 0.485, a journey that lasted about 20 months. 

Currently, it has all the trappings of a potential classic Double Bottom Reversal, a bullish reversal pattern, as it fulfills the critical criteria associated with it.  For starters, there was a significant downtrend for it to reverse.  Crucially, there were evidence of an accelerating buying pressure and volume off its 2nd trough. To add to it, the peak after the 1st trough was significant which carries the implication of a large potential advance upon successful completion of the Reversal.  Hence, a break above the critical resistance of 0.78 will complete the Double Bottom Reversal and could signal a potential strong bullish run.




Weekly Chart

On the weekly chart, it broke out from its downtrend line during the week of 9/3/2015 with good volume giving ammunition to the validity of its price reversal.  In the mid-term, it has an immediate support at 0.705 with the cushion of a strong support at 0.66.  The resistance at 0.78 is a key resistance that must be taken out convincingly in order to complete the Double Bottom Reversal.  A successful completion of the reversal would yield a target price of 1.07.  A stop loss is recommended upon violation of 0.66 for mid-term traders.


Daily Chart

Based on the daily chart, it hit a high of 0.835 on 17/3/2015 but failed to clear it.  Instead, it closed the session with a dark cloud, a precursor to an ensuing period of consolidation. It is currently consolidating sideways and thus far, is on the verge of overcoming the 0.78 resistance convincingly.  Successfully clearing the dark cloud top of 0.835 will pave the way for it to scale towards its target prices.  It has an immediate support at 0.76 and further support levels can be found at 0.735 and 0.715 respectively.  A successful completion of the Double Bottom Reversal would carry Sendai to its target prices of TP1 = 0.85, TP2 = 0.90, TP3 = 0.99, and TP4 = 1.07. For short term traders, a stop loss is recommended should 0.715 be violated depending on your risk profile.




Key Notes

1.  On 26th Feb 2015, the company announced its unaudited 4th Quarter results of 2014. The Group reported a revenue and profit after tax of RM308.5 million and RM16.4 million respectively for the quarter ended 31 Dec 2014, as compared to the corresponding quarter last year of RM238.3 million and a loss of RM9.3 million. The improved performance of the group is due to the positive contribution from its new Oil & Gas division.

The Group’s revenue continued to be dominated by its operations in the Middle East, which has accounted for 67% of the Group’s revenue during the current financial period. 

(Ref:  http://www.bursamalaysia.com/market/listed-companies/company-announcements/1886933)

--Weekly Chart of BDB--

In recent weeks, BDB attracted much interest that resulted in increased trading volume.

It needs to take out the Gap resistance at 0.96 and 0.995/1.00, where 1.00 is also the psychological resistance price. It's current trading volume is at a good level that primes it for a rounding bottom breakout if it closes above 0.96.

--Daily Chart of BDB--

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS


There is a saying that "History Always Repeats Itself".  Well, will History Repeats Itself  with Censof? 

Historically, on August 2013, Censof formed a Hammer after being beaten down to a low of RM 0.32. Subsequently, it broke out from its Falling Resistance line and trended all the way up to the then high of  RM 0.63.  This pattern of price movement was detected in Censof lately.  Its current price movement bears similarity to the aforementioned pattern. It formed a Hammer after its price was beaten down to RM 0.29 in Dec, 2014 and it broke out of its Falling Resistance line this week.




--Weekly Chart --

Analyzing it in further detail, on the weekly chart (medium term), Censof is currently in Stage 2 of the market cycle which is very bullish. It has been consolidating for a few weeks in Stage 1 since it hit its all-time low of RM 0.29 after going through Stage 4 when its price free fall from RM 0.625 to RM 0.29. Stage 4 ended with the low of RM 0.29. Since then, during the 2nd week of January 2015, its price has been trending upward strongly with bullish candles that included the bullish 3 white soldiers pattern. This week it has broken above its strong downtrend resistance line reinforcing its bullishness. It is trending with an upward bias towards its 3 years high of RM 0.67.

So, its interesting to observe to see if history will repeat itself to witness Censof trending back to its previous high of RM 0.67.





--Daily Chart --

On the daily chart (short term), it broke out of its immediate Resistance Line at RM 0.48 on 23/01/2015 with increased volume confirming its Trend Reversal. It is expected to break above RM 0.525 to test its next resistance at RM 0.56.  If broken, it should test its very strong resistance at RM 0.60/ RM 0.625. If Censof overcomes the RM 0.625 resistance, it is expected to test its previous 3 year's high at RM 0.67. Any weakness should find immediate support at RM 0.48/RM 0.47 and further back, at it strong support at RM 0.43For the short term traders, you may want to stop loss if RM 0.46 is violated. For medium term traders, you may want to stop loss if RM 0.40 is violated.
