HOT STOCK: DRB-Hicom Bhd - Breakout From Short-term Downtrend Line


Breakout From Short-term Downtrend Line
In January, we advised traders to accumulate DRB-Hicom’s shares after a strong intra-day rally, which more or less confirmed that a new floor had been constructed at the RM1.98 level. Subsequently, its share price has also appreciated aggressively and eventually reached our RM2.50 price target. Meanwhile, it seems that the price retracement of late has found support at the RM2.48 level and the Monday’s violation of the short-term downtrend line has triggered a Buy signal. Hence, we advise traders to accumulate shares  of DRB-Hicom  now. The upside target is pegged at the RM2.93 level but traders should cut loss should the critical RM2.48 support floor be taken out. As mentioned above, we  had  previously advised traders to accumulate DRB-Hicom’s shares after the stock recorded a strong rally on 15  Jan 2012, which more or less confirmed that a new floor had already been constructed at the RM1.98 level. Figure 2 illustrates the technical landscape at that time.

 DRB-Hicom has been in retracement mode after reaching the RM3.26 peak in early February, but it seems to have found support at the RM2.48 level, as evidenced by the rebounds seen in the 1-5 March period and two days ago. As the rebound, which  emerged from the RM2.48  level  two days ago, has also violated the short-term downtrend line, a new trading opportunity has arisen.

We advise traders to accumulate DRB-Hicom’s shares after the breakout. The recent major peak of RM2.93 is our upside target but prior to this level, resistance can be seen at the RM2.84 level. Traders should consider cutting  loss if the share price violates the critical RM2.48 support floor.

In the event that the critical RM2.48 support level is violated, a major breakdown will be triggered and its share price is expected to retrace to the RM2.40 level or even to the strong support area of RM2.30-RM2.33.
