Highlights/Stock Picks of the Day - MMC Corporation Berhad


MMC Corporation Berhad’s ("MMC") share price has been on a downtrend for over half a year, declining from a high of RM3.06 in Feb to RM2.26 last week. The share price, however, has rebounded sharply thereafter to break above the RM2.49 resistance. With the decisive close above this trigger line on Wednesday, MMC has successfully confirmed the "DoubleBottom" reversal pattern. The rebound thus heralds  the start of a new trend developing and is seen supported by bullish technical indicators. The measurement objective is estimated at RM2.70 and should the share price retreat back to the trigger line, investors should look to buy into the stock close to the RM2.49 resistance-turned-support level.

On the weekly chart, MMC has been range-bound for two years, trading between a clearly defined trend channel between R1 and S1. After testing the support level at RM2.39 (S1), MMC subsequently  confirmed the "Hammer" reversal candlestick with a sharp rebound. The technical picture has turned bullish with the move and we believe the share price may be at the start of the next leg up. The oscillators are also firmly positive, with the Stochastics indicator and the RSI both turning upwards, reflecting the start of the up-cycle and a pick-up  in relative strength. We reckon that with momentum shifting from bearish to  bullish, the share price may extend its gains towards the channel resistance at RM2.95.
