Borneo Oil

BORNEO Oil shares gained for the third straight session amid continuous bargain-hunting interest. Based on the daily chart, prices remain in consolidat­ion mode. However, with trading volumes piling up and all short-term technical indicators such as the stochastic, the 14day relative strength index and the moving average convergenc­e/divergence histogram rising, they suggest the fate of this may change for the better. Initial resistance is pegged at the 20-sen mark, followed by the 21.5-sen barrier. A major breakout of the upper heavy resistance of 28.5 sen will signal a bullish turnaround. Support is expected at the 17-sen level and crucial floor is lying at 14.5 sen.

Ewein

EWEIN hit a six-month high of 86.5 sen during intra-day trading on extended bargain-buying momentum. A positive breakout was sighted on the chart on Tuesday. Though the stochastic and the 14-day relative strength index are painting a growing overbought condition, they show no signs of tapering off just yet while the moving average convergenc­e/ divergence histogram continues to expand upward against the signal line implying prices are likely to sustain the upward thrust on bullish extended-mode, targeting the RM1 mark. A decisive breach of the RM1.10 hurdle will probably lead to a re-test of the historical peak of RM1.56, set on Jan 14 last year. Initial support is seen at the 79-80 sen band.

Gromutual

GROMUTUAL spiked for the second consecutiv­e day, pushing prices to as high as 53.5 sen during intra-day trading, the best since August 2014, backed by bigger volumes. Technicall­y, the shortterm indicators are not overbought yet, suggesting there is still room for more scaling in the immediate term. A major breakout of the heavy resistance of 57 sen will open the windows for the bulls to challenge the RM1 mark in the near future. The immediate support is anticipate­d at 48 sen and an additional floor is set at the 45 sen mark.
