Main Chart: The KLCI continued its rally after being supported by the 14, 21, 31 EMA, breaking above 1370.52 resistance. The next resistance for the KLCI is at 1400 points while the support is at 1354 and 1340.63 WinChart Automatic Fibonacci Retracement.

Volume: As indicated by B, total market volume was above the 40-day VMA level, this shows that the market is well-participated as the market sentiment as a whole was still positive. Generally, if volume should remain above the 40-day VMA level, it is likely to have a positive effect for the market.

Bollinger Bands: The Bollinger Bands re-expanded last week, with the KLCI above the Bollinger Middle Band, thus the KLCI started its rally. The rally of the KLCI is likely to continue until the contraction of the Bollinger Bands or the expansion rate decreases.

MACD: The MACD histogram ticked higher, suggesting that the KLCI movement is improving. The improvement of the KLCI is likely to carry on as long as the MACD histogram is still rising.

WinChart RSI: The WinChart RSI stays above 70%, thus suggesting that the mid term movement of the KLCI is still on the bullish side.

Stochastic: The Stochastic is touching 100%, suggesting that the short term movement of the KLCI is indeed bullish, but it is now over-heated, thus a pull back is likely to take place in the near future. If the Stochastic should break below 70%, it would be a signal suggesting a beginning of a technical correction.

In a Nut Shell: Uptrend of the KLCI remains intact as long as the KLCI is still above the rising 14, 21, 31 EMA, as the immediate technical outlook is still bullish biased. However, short term over-heated is in-sight, and therefore, we shall expect some sort of a pull back, while not affecting the uptrend.
