Technically speaking







Click on the images to enlarge.

I picked three stocks to support hypothesis of liquidity is tightening i.e. unwinding of emerging markets.

Couple of things:
  • The common theme of the three charts is declining volume.
  • Stock price hit upper trend resistance (Axiata for an example).
  • To breakthrough .618 of Fibo statistically is very tough, odds are normally not too good with declining volume.
  • In Tanjong case, twice failure attempts to breakthrough $ 16. If they cannot go up, going the opposite direction is a logical move. May come back to rock solid $ 13 support(low risk trading range play)
  • Most are trying to paint nice fundamental justification for Genting but breaking down from the trend is not something we should take it likely.
  • If the US $ is truly strengthening, I can buy into explanation of unwinding of carry trade. Speculators/investors will have to liquidate something to cover losses.
  • China market correction is another piece of hint of liquidity tightening. Another 100 points down from Shanghai Composite Index 2800, China market will be in a bear market by a strict definition.



  • Gosh, why am I talking about technical analysis again?
