hmmmm....may not be the case today leh...looking at current situation...this morning volume...first hour of trade (gonna be 10am soon)...the volume compared to the rest of the past weeks not bad le...its standing 0.4billion for only first hour...

DOW go down by 104 points last night doesnt seem to make Asia red...its rather flatly green instead...it will be a wonderful surprise to see STI close above 3200 level

hmmm...3200 is still of a resistance la...dunno can hit past it like on Monday ...but the crucial point is to close above it...with the DOW dropping 104 points last night...we might still see STI going back to near its 3150 support...DOW at one point last night dropped 170+..but later part of the session climbed back up (however still a 3-digit loss)....it lost 0.82%

if we based on STI reacting to what happen last night...on estimation we give it to go down about 1%...it will still be at 3155 level...above the 3150 support...

well...shall see how the irrational market of today's times goes =)

I believe Singapore market will extend the gains today as there's buying interest among the investors. Meaning to say, overall Asean markets are still in uptrend direction this week irregardless the poor performance of DOW J. Let's monitor the market as well today and hope STI index can hit 3200 level today !  Good luck for those vesting and happy trading !

Hmmm tomorrow, now should be now leow. DJ down fr 151 to now 137. Seems like consolidation process at the corner.  Your guess of hovering around 3150 is valid, if DJ remains gloomy till market closed, by 0400hrs. No lah, AK will go to bed by latest 0200, as usual. Bro/sis, don't follow uncle AK , as I am a full time retiree leow. Pse take care your health, as you need to works ah!!!

jux to share this article that was published today from Business Times:
Published April 22, 2008

CHART POINT
STI may now test resistance at 3,306




THE Straits Times Index (STI) broke out of its trading range yesterday. With this, we are now looking at a possible test of the 3,306 resistance. If momentum can be sustained over and above 3,306, STI's negative bias will be invalidated.



Last week, global markets exhibited a peculiar trend. Amid a swathe of negative newsflow from General Electric's results to bank writedowns, equity markets were relatively defensive.

Whether these developments portend a sustained technical recovery or just funds positioning for an opportunistic trade ahead of May and the Euro 2008 season in July, the short-term view is positive.

At this juncture, the STI continues to trade within its downtrend channel. However, the ADX has started to flatten - which suggests that bottoming has occurred at 2,745.

One strategy to ride the upside is to overweight high-beta stocks. Singapore Exchange or SGX could benefit directly from the market momentum. The MACD remains positive, accumulation is evident, and the stock is well supported at $8. Although it is premature to determine if an inverse head-and-shoulder has taken place, a test of resistance at $9 is highly possible.
