KLCI Update

The market turmoil continues.

KLCI is now at 859 levels. It looks likely for the index to test the next support at 817.


The technical charts for KCLI are not looking good. The MACD line is still below its 9 day signal line showing a bearish bias. There is no divergence in the MACD with respect to price movement, so it is not logical to expect a sustainable a rebound at this point.

ADX is at value of 55 and with –DI above +DI, it indicates a continuation of the down trend.

RSI is oversold at this level but in a downward trending market, oversold market tends to become more oversold.
