Conclusion
Today, FBMKLCI eventually broke through the psychological barrier, 1,500, and finished at 1,502.24. However, in order to escape from the downtrend channel the index must strive further to break through 1,505, the upper trendline.
Based on charts, the odds are good now as most indicators have turned optimistic.
First, W%R has pierced through its 6-day SMA. You will notice from the charts that FBMKLCI moved higher most of the time when W%R cut its 6-day SMA. Secondly, %K Line in Stochastic has crossover %D Line - a bullish sign. Thirdly, Histograms of MACD has formed a round bottoming. The only setback is the shrinking volume which might weakening the upside momentum.
Having said that, one must remember that the upside movement of the index cannot be viewed as any bullish reversal yet as the toughest overhead resistance lies on 1,512, the Middle Bollinger Band. The index should remain choppy before heading for a bullish reversal. (Chart extracted from 188OMS)
