STI index has stayed within a 200 points range since it broke the 2424 resistance level in mid July 09. The bulls pushed the index to 2700 on 4 Aug 09 but could not overcome the sellers that came in to take profit.
The market correction that analysts talked about has materialized. Investors have been buying on dips and that strategy seems to be working since March 09.
The technical charts are showing warning signs. –DI has just made a crossover with the +DI. MACD histogram has been fluctuating about the zero line which shows a directionless market. However the MACD indicator has recently pulled away from the signal line meaning that selling is gathering pace.
With Dow closing down 42 points on Friday, there will be some selling pressure early next week. Another thing to note is the strength in Japanese yen. USDJPY currency pair traded at a low of 89.50 before recovering slightly to close at 89.84. This will exert some pressure on the Japanese equity market next week as well as strength in yen is bad news for Japanese exporters.
The support level to watch is 2560, 2521 and 2424.
