| | | | | Commentary | | The Straits Times index rose 0.28% or 8.28pts to 2957.40 (day range: 2961.4 - 2948.49) on Wednesday. The index is above its 20d MA (@ 2861) and above its 50d MA (@ 2846). 87% of the index constituents are above their 20D MA (vs 80% the previous session) and 53% of the shares are above their 50D MA (vs 53%). Appx. 27% of the stocks are 'overbought' based on the RSI14 indicator. On a daily basis, the index has broken above a bullish flag pattern, and is continuing its up leg. Meanwhile the 20-day moving average has just crossed above the 50-day one, and the relative strength index is well directed. As long as 2855 is not broken below, we prefer a positive ST outlook, with 3045 and 3100 as next targets. The HSI index gained 0.55% or 125.77pts to 22800.92 (day range: 22843.01 - 22708.88) on Wednesday. The index is above its 20d MA (@ 22582) and below its 50d MA (@ 23000). 58% of the index constituents are above their 20D MA (vs 51% the previous session) and 40% of the shares are above their 50D MA (vs 40%). On the daily chart, the index remained under pressure below its 50-day moving average. Meanwhile the daily relative strength index is around 50 and lacks upward momentum. As long as the key resistance at 23620 is not surpassed, it is expected to return to the first downside target at 21700. |

| MA (50) & MA (20): The most simple trend indicators are Moving Averages. They simply correspond to an average calculated on an evolving time scale (20 and 50 periods): every day, the oldest value (often taken at the close) in the average calculus is replaced by the value of the new session.
Bollinger bands: are represented by 3 different bands and are derived from moving averages. The middle band corresponds to a simple moving average (MA (20)). The level of the upper band, in every point, corresponds to the sum of the level of the middle band and twice the value of the standard deviation associated to the 20-day moving average. Reciprocally, the level of the lower band corresponds to the level of the middle band diminished by twice the value of the standard deviation associated to the 20-day moving average. An envelop of the stock price is thus determined. This makes it possible to then identify the variation margin in which the stock should stay almost systematically. In the case of a stock following a Gauss law, 95 % of the trades will thus occur between these bands.
RSI (14): the Relative Strength Index aims at establishing a reference scale independently from the stock prices levels themselves. As the RSI has boundaries (0 and 100), it then becomes very easy to determine overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) areas. In addition, just as on prices themselves, supports and resistances can appear, especially when nearing the neutrality zone (near 50). Thus, the RSI is one of the most commonly used counter-trend indicators.
It is based on the average of rises and drops of price, with the formula:
RSI = 100 - [100 / (1 + RS)]
Where RS represents the average of up closes divided by the average of down closes on the considered period (14). | |
