Highlights/Stock Picks of the Day - IOI Corporation Berhad


IOI Corporation ("IOI Corp") has been trading within a downward sloping trend channel since mid-July. Having already completed three down cycles within the channel, we believe the share price is in the midst of forming the forth cycle. After briefly retesting the channel support last week, IOI Corp's share price sank 9 sen on Thursday to form a bearish "Long Black" candlestick. The move confirmed the bearish situation and further convictions on this can be drawn from the 14-day Stochastics and RSI indicators, which have both dipped downwards. In view of the weaker technical picture, the share price is likely to continue its downward move towards the channel support at RM4.92.

On the weekly chart, IOI Corp's downtrend is seen extending as far back as January 2011 while on the flipside, strong support levels appear to have also developed in the past year. The 20-week SMA is now firmly below the 50- and 100-week SMA and with the indicators mostly negative, the share price is likely to inch lower towards the support line at RM4.92/90. This level of support has in the past proven to be quite resilient and we would hence not be overly surprised if the share price were to rebound after retesting this RM4.90 level.  Also, the Stochastics indicator is already in oversold territory, hence an eventual rebound towards the RM5.30 is probable.
