Outlook

While, the FBM KLCI's 30 component stocks unfolded their expected consolidations, selected second liners remained the trading focus, one of them being Can-One.

Chartwise, Can-One's monthly price trend staged an overhead breakout of the neckline of its double-bottom pattern formation.

Its weekly price trend staged a decisive breach of the neckline (see Can-One's weekly price chart B1:B3) of its double-bottom pattern formation last week.

Can-One's daily price trend staged a successful re-test of the support of the neckline (see Can-One's daily price trend C1:C2) of its double-bottom pattern formation last week.

Its daily, weekly and monthly fast MACDs (Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicators) continued to stay above their respective slow MACDs at the market close last Friday.

Its 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) stood at the 69.07 per cent level last Friday. Its 14-week and 14-month RSIs were at the 74.50 and 82.17 levels respectively.

Following the technical rebound on its daily and weekly price charts (C1:C2 and B1:B2) on Friday, Can-One's price trend is now poised to move towards its intermediate-term resistance zone (RM2.25-RM2.45).
