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 0.43. For 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.

In recent weeks. global markets have been soaring to new highs and our local bourse has just kicked start an uptrend momentum these couple of days. Most companies are expected to release their quarterly reports soon.

From a technical point of view, INSAS on the weekly and daily chart has turned bullish. A resumption in its uptrend is expected as its share price managed to break the upper Bollinger Band and trended above the 100MA which usually will be followed by a continuation in its uptrend.

IDEAL


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


Ideal, as its name suggest, is "ideally" primed for a bullish pursuit. 


-- Ideal: Weekly Chart --

Since the day of 8/4/2014 when it started its bullish journey, Ideal has been trending up.  As with other stocks across the bourse, it was not spared when the global correction sets in but after a series of technical rebounds, it broke out from its symmetrical triangle on 4/11 with volume which has bullish implications.  Moving forward, it is confronted with an immediate resistance of 0.75 with strong resistance expected at 0.84.  A break above its previous high of 0.84 will take Ideal to its estimated targets of 0.90, 1.00 and 1.05 respectively in the medium term.






-- Ideal: Daily Chart --

On 19/8, Ideal achieved a new high of 0.84 supported by a large trading volume.  However, it formed a dark cloud pattern on that day which carries bearish implications.  As it panned out, Ideal did went into a 2 months consolidation.  It may have found a new bottom at 0.475 and its breakout from its Falling Resistance Line on 3/11 with increased volume confirms the new bottom.  Ideal's journey in the foreseeable future is looking up and its trading pattern is building up to what looks like a Double Bottom formation with a neckline at 0.75.  This has bullish implications attached to it.


The upward momentum has picked up lately and a break above 0.67 will take it to 0.70 and subsequently to the neckline of 0.75.  A break above 0.75 would confirm the Double Bottom  formation and it would set Ideal up to challenge its previous high  of 0.84 with an estimated target of 1.00.  The recommended stop loss is 0.47.




Key Notes:
  1. Ideal's financial performance has been one of growth. Revenue increased 19% in 2013 while profits from operations were up 8%.  It rakes in good positive cash flow from operations and its borrowings were fully repaid in 2013.
  2. It currently has a multiple proposal that include a private placement, acquisition and diversification. (Ref: http://www.bursamalaysia.com/market/listed-companies/company-announcements/1778345)

DSONIC

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


For this edition of SIF, we have featured a stock linked to one of current stock themes in play, namely, the GST and Petrol Subsidy theme.  Although, presently, it may not be fully ready for a breakout from a TA perspective, we nevertheless opine that it is a stock worth watching out for.  As with all stocks, it does carry some trading risks.



-- Dsonic: Daily Chart --


Since hitting a high of 2.425 on 1/4/2014, Dsonic underwent a 2 weeks correction that took it all the way down to 1.295, a 50% retracement. It was traded up again to the high of 2.06 in June 2014 and subsequently churned out a double top formation which broke down in Sept. 2014.  The bearish formation sent its prices down when it achieved its break down target of about 1.44, approximately a 78.6% retracement, on 8/10 and potentially could be rebounding off this retracement level.  

-- Dsonic: Daily Chart --

On 21/10, it formed an engulfing bear during the downtrend which may have the implication of a last engulfing bottom. Currently, momentum on the stock is gaining as suggested by the up trending RSI while the trading pattern has a hint of an inverted head and shoulder formation in progress which has bullish implications if a break out occurs.  The stock has an immediate support at 1.56 which if broken will have further support back at 1.49 and 1.44 respectively.  For short term traders, a stop loss of 1.43 is recommended while for mid-term traders the recommended stop loss is 1.29.

In order for it to pursue a breakout, it first needs to take out its immediate resistance at 1.64.  Further resistance awaits it at 1.72 which if broken will see it testing the strong resistance of 1.82.  A successful break in 1.82 with volume will be a break out from the downtrend line and confirms the bullish trend reversal.  



Key Notes:
  1. Dsonic is heavily linked to the implementation of the petrol subsidy which represents a potential catalyst to the upward movement of the stock.
