In Mid-November, the FTSTI managed to test the 2,700 points immediate resistance level and rallied to the next resistance level at 2,800 points, climbing to as high as 2803.83 points. However, the market fell steeply in the last two trading days of the month by falling about 70 points or 2.5% to close at 2732.12 points. On a month-to-month basis, the benchmark index was still able to close positively by an increase of 81 points or 3%. Trading volume has slightly declined in the past few months. Investors’ confidence in the market has been weak.
Weekly FTSTI chart as at 30 November 2009 using NextVIEW Advisor
The FTSTI is still in an uptrend and since April this year when the uptrend started, it has been supported by the 60-day moving average. The moving average is currently at 2,685 points and this should be the immediate support level. The pattern from the chart shows that the market has strong support at 2,600 points. The FTSTI is expected to head towards the immediate support level before continuing the trend. There is still a chance for the benchmark index to climb to the uptrend technical target at 3,000 points but this is unlikely going to happen in the next 4 to six months. Immediate resistance level is 2,800 points.
