The DJIA was being dragged down by Boeing despite reporting better than expected earnings. Meanwhile, the geopolitical tension in Ukraine and Gaza has kept investors on a conservative posture in the broader market. At the closing bell, the DJIA dipped points or 0.16% to settle at 17, Top 3 Index Laggards: Boeing Co. (-3.03%), Caterpillar Inc. (-1.68%), United Technologies Corp. (-1.13%). What is the chart saying? The DJIA continued to trade within a tight range yesterday. However, this is less of our worry as the primary trend of the key index remained up and bullish. All key indicators (MACD, Stochastic and RSI) remained flattish, suggesting that the short term sideway trading trend could continue. We reiterate our cautiously optimistic view that the DJIA could trend higher towards the 17,500 mark so long as the US Fed Reserve keeps the interest rate accommodative. Immediate resistance is capped at 17,500 while strong buying support is located at 17,000-level. Cautiously Optimistic Key Resistance level 17,500 (R1) 17,700 (R2) 18,000 (R3) Key Support level 17,000 (S1) 16,824 (S2) 16,600 (S3) Malaysia Market: FBMKLCI Index How was the market? The local benchmark ended the day flattish amid selective buying in several heavyweight counters. Meanwhile, investors continue their rotational interest in the small and mid-cap counters as they are still digesting the geopolitical issues in Ukraine and Middle East. At the closing bell, the FBMKLCI climbed 0.47 points or 0.03% to close at Top 3 Index Movers: FGV (+0.66 points), MISC (+0.57 points), ASTRO (-0.49 points) What is the chart saying? Chart-wise, the FBMKLCI has formed a Spinning Top candlestick pattern, suggesting that investors were indecisive on the direction of the index. Meanwhile, readings from key indicators are relatively flattish suggesting a possible sideway trading pattern ahead. We reiterate that the current downtrend is expected to be limited from here as investors are taking a sideline approach, digesting the recent negative sentiment of the MH17 incident. Immediate buying support is expected to emerge at the 1,860-1,855 level. Sideways range-bound Key Resistance level 1,892 (R1) 1,900 (R2) 1,925 (R3) Key Support level 1,860 (S1) 1,843 (S2) 1,826 (S3) Highlights / Stock Picks of the Day Muda Holding Bhd (MUDA) Take Profit MUDA s share price increased 8 sen (3.43%) yesterday on higher trading volume after a strong rally since Jan-14. Recall that we placed a Trading Buy call on the stock at RM1.90 on 24th-April due to strong earnings which caused a breakout of a Bullish Pennant chart pattern, hinting that the share was poised to enter into another round of rally. The current technical picture does not display signs of momentum waning as all 3 SMA s are on upward trajectory. RSI and Stochastic are also pointing upwards, but are in overbought region, indicating further gains could be limited. MUDA s share price has rallied by 26.8% since our last call. As the share price has hit our target price of RM2.43 during the day, we are placing a Take Profit call on this stock. Bullish Key Resistance level RM2.51(R1) RM2.73 (R2) RM2.90 (R3) Key Support level RM2.17 (S1) RM2.08 (S2) RM1.93 (S3) Strategy Take Profit Current Price RM2.41 SMRT Holdings Bhd (SMRT) Trading Buy SMRT gained 6.5sen (9.15%) to close at RM0.775 yesterday with a spike in trading volume seen. From a technical perspective, a breakout from its Ascending Triangle chart pattern is seen at RM0.74 level. Moreover, MACD is also seen to be trending up looking poised for a positive crossover the Signal Line, signaling strong buying pressure in the stock. Momentum indicators (RSI and Stochastic) have also hooked upwards suggesting buying momentum is piling up. We are placing a Trading Buy call on this stock with a target of RM0.92 (3 bids below our measurement objective of RM0.94) while employing a strict stop-loss at RM0.73 (3 bids below the RM0.74 level).

6 Basic Technical Terms: Reversal Candlesticks Patterns Description Doji Dragonfly Doji (Bullish) Gravestone Doji (Bearish) Engulfing Pattern Hammer (Bullish) Shooting Star (Bearish) Inverted Hammer (Bullish) Hanging Man (Bearish) Harami Harami Cross Dojis form when a security's open and close are virtually equal. The length of the upper and lower shadows can vary, and the resulting candlestick looks like, either, a cross, inverted cross, or plus sign. Doji convey a sense of indecision or tug-of-war between buyers and sellers. A reversal pattern that can be bearish or bullish, depending upon whether it appears at the end of an uptrend (bearish engulfing pattern) or a downtrend (bullish engulfing pattern). The first day is characterized by a small body, followed by a day whose body completely engulfs the previous day's price action. Hammer candlesticks form when a security moves significantly lower after the open, but rallies to close well above the intraday low. This appears in a downtrend. In contrast, the Shooting Star pattern appears in an uptrend. It opens higher, trades much higher, then closes near its open. It looks just like the Inverted Hammer except that it is bearish. The Inverted Hammer is a single-day bullish reversal pattern. In a downtrend, the open is lower, then it trades higher, but closes near its open price, therefore looking like an inverted lollipop. Hanging Man candlesticks form when a security moves significantly lower after the open, but rallies to close well above the intraday low. The Harami is a two-day pattern that can be bullish or bearish. It has a small body day completely contained within the range of the previous body, and is the opposite colour. The Harami Cross is similar to the Harami. The difference is that the last day is a Doji. Marubozu A Marubozu candlestick has no shadow extending from the body at either the open, the close or at both. Morning Doji Star (Bullish) Evening Doji Star (Bearish) Spinning Top A Morning Doji Star (Evening Doji Star) is a three-day candlestick bullish (bearish) reversal pattern - a long-bodied black (white) candle extending the current downtrend, a short middle candle that gapped down (up) on the open, and a long-bodied white candle that gapped up (down) on the open and closed above (below) the midpoint of the body of the first day. Spinning Tops are candlestick lines that have small bodies with upper and lower shadows that exceed the length of the body. They are similar to the Doji candlesticks, and signal indecision.
