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.

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.
