HOT STOCK: Deleum Bhd - Testing Resistance of RM2.00


Testing Resistance of RM2.00

Deleum is enjoying a new lease of life lately as its trading volume has surged. The consistent volume has led to the stock breaching its 3-year resistance level of RM2.00. A close above RM2.20 should confirm the change in trend and when this happens, expect the stock to scale even higher. Deleum has been trading sideways for about 3 years now, probably due to the lack of interest. RM2.00 is clearly the resistance level as it had acted as a ceiling for the stock since mid-2008. Support is pegged at RM1.45, which is the low of the past 3 years. However,  the sideways trend may end as  trading interest has picked up in the past couple of weeks, as seen from the consistently and relatively high transaction volumes for the stock.

The rally since the low of Sept 2011 has now brought the stock back  at the resistance level of RM2.00. The possibility of breaking this resistance has increased significantly as  the price is now trading at a 2-year high. It also formed the “Three White Soldiers” candle pattern in the weekly chart, a continuation pattern that bodes well for the progress of the uptrend. Thus, the stock is expected to climb further.

The close above the RM2.00 resistance level last Friday should confirm the continuation of the positive trend. Positions can be initiated as long as the stock closes above RM2.00 on a weekly basis. A more conservative trade may wait until the stock closes above RM2.20, the intraday high  of early 2010. The gap of 23 Feb at RM1.80 can be employed as a stop loss. A measured move based on the 3-year sideways trend could see the price trading at RM2.55 and a strong move could even see the test of the late-2007 low of RM2.90. Further resistance is at RM3.40, RM3.70 and the psychological RM4.00.

A false breakout may happen if  the price closes back below RM2.00 and a close below RM1.80 should  provide the confirmation. The upward bias will be nullified if  this happens and the stock should  likely return to its sideways move. Expect strong support at RM1.45 and the all-time psychological low of RM1.00.
