BEARS MASSACRED BULLISH FKLI TRADERS

The FBM KLCI Futures market turned into an abbatoir where bulls, cows and even calves were slaughtered wholesale, mercilessly.

Long traders were reined in and drag through one of the most bloody futures trading days since the introduction of the benchmark FBM KLCI Index.

In retro, there were earlier signs over the past few sessions when the FKLI months kept slipping regularly into discount over the underlying cash.

BT (this blog) had warned of such an impending and overdued correction with this article published on 22 Jan 2010 as per below >>>

The above chart is extracted from the mentioned article.

The crux of the chart title " NO MAN's LAND" clearly showed what goes around; comes around. Note the date of 04 Jan 2010 when the bulls punched through resistances like they were wet paper. There was little or no bear defenders. It looked then like unhabitated wasteland.

This time around it is the bear invaders' turn to go one up on the bulls. What they did in one day, so can we!. Notice the similarity of both set of 60 minutes candlesticks on 04 Jan & 26 Jan ??? Identical >>> and where did it happen?

Where else but no man's land???
