HOT STOCK: Oldtown Bhd - A Major Breakout


Oldtown experienced a major breakout last Friday. Prior to  this, the stock  had been  consolidating  at prices  between RM1.20 and RM1.35 since the beginning of the year. Hence, the breakout basically signals the end of the consolidation phase. Nevertheless, because of the strong 9% gains recorded, there is a possibility that the stock may consolidate these gains first before climbing higher again. We advise traders to accumulate shares between RM1.35 and the current level. Considering the significance of the breakout, we expect the stock to achieve another upside of 15% or so and therefore, we peg RM1.60 as the immediate upside target. Consider cutting losses if the price violates the RM1.35 support floor. 

Prior to last Friday, Oldtown had been consolidating between RM1.20 and RM1.35,  after rallying in the period between Sept 2011 and Jan 2012.  Last Friday’s price action saw the violation of the consolidation zone and basically, this signals the end of its consolidation phase.

The breakout, which was accompanied by strong volume, looks convincing too. Hence, we advise traders to accumulate shares  at prices  between  RM1.35 and  the current level. Nevertheless,  do expect its share price  to take a breather considering last Friday’s 9% gains are rather strong. We are anticipating further gains of about 15% from the current level, judging from the momentum of the breakout and therefore, we are eyeing the RM1.60 level as the upside target. Traders would want to consider cutting losses should its share price retrace back below the RM1.35 level.

 At below the RM1.35 level, look for the RM1.25 level as the next support, followed by the RM1.20 level. To the upside,  traders can expect resistance at the RM1.50 psychological level.
