MALAYSIA Airlines has been on the slide the past several years.
After peaking out at RM4.64 on Oct 3, 2007, it reversed slightly due to an apparent profit-taking activity. The breather was necessary at this stage due to an overbought reason but what was seen as a typical correction process turned ugly later, as continuous liquidation pressure dampened sentiment, thus pulling prices to a low of RM1.34 in late May this year, the worst since April 1999.
Thereafter, they drifted sideways on bargain hunting interest offsetting selling which saw the shares ending up four sen to RM1.43 yesterday.
Based on the daily bar chart, it looks like this blue chip counter have found the bottom after a long bearish phase. Perhaps, investors can consider accumulating some shares now.
The oscillator per cent K and the oscillator per cent D of the daily slow-stochastic momentum index were seen inching up gradually from the grossly oversold area after triggering a short-term buy yesterday. Similarly, the 14-day relative strength index improved moderately from a reading of 26 to settle at the 55 points level yesterday.
The daily moving average convergence/divergence histogram kept expanding upward against the daily signal line to retain the positive note. It had issued a buy a week ago. Technically, indicators suggest a steadier trend in the short term.
Initial resistance is expected at the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) of RM1.66, followed by the 100-day SMA of RM1.80. A push above the next upper hurdle of RM2 mark, which is the 200-day SMA, would give investors the confirmation of a bullish turnaround.
Trailing exit is pegged at the recent lows of RM1.34.Source:
