Highlights / Stock Pick of the Day Oriental Holdings Berhad


Oriental Holdings' share price has been on an upward trend since it commenced its rally in December. From the daily chart, the share price has been trading within tight ranges before breaking out on a few occasions namely in December, February, May and mid-July. The Bollinger Band tends to narrow during periods of low volatility, and with a breakout above the upper band accompanied by high volume, a buy signal is generated. At present, the chart pattern has also confirmed a bullish breach of the trigger line on the ascending triangle. Coupled with the upside volatility breakout of Bollinger Band, the chart provides us with a target price of RM7.80-RM7.90 for a 80- 90 sen upside. The former resistance line at RM6.90 has now turned into support, with further support provided at RM6.70/75.

On the weekly chart, the 20-week SMA is comfortably above the 50 and 100-week SMAs with the chart pattern also exhibiting an uptrend. Worth noting is that Oriental’s share price has been experiencing short term cycles in its share price in line with the breakouts in its Bollinger Band discussed above. With the formation of 3 cycles since December, it is likely that the fourth wave count is underway.
