Turning Point?

Market Action
Both the STI and HSI shed a bit of yesterday's gains (0.04% and 0.20% respectively) despite Wall Streets gains. The Nikkei is up 2.18% to 13603.31. The Singapore market was supported by gains in the banks, SGX as well as Citydev while other counters closed under the water.

Insights and Opinion
Following yesterday's Ichimoku charts, we have 2 charts on near term support and resistance.


This first chart shows the STI candlesticks. The top and bottom horizontal dotted lines are the near term support and resistance lines while the middle dotted line cuts the level at which a slight reversal is possible. The proportion here exhibits what can be believed to be, sacred geometry. In this case, it is just 1:2, where 1 and 2 are Fibonacci numbers. As the market is currently exhibiting a range phenonmenon, I have assumed the possible length of time this cycle will last.


This second chart shows the HSI candlesticks. The lines drawn here have the same meaning. Notice that the patterns for the HSI are similar to that of the STI. Considering the current macroeconomic climate, it is safe to assume that coupling of the markets shall persist for now.

The circled parts in both graphs give me a basis to believe that a short turning point will occur.

Once again, click on the charts to have them enlarged.
