Support: 1,712 to 1,737 Resistance: 1,755 to 1,826

Strategy:
  The FBM KLCI fell 6.34 points WoW on further selling to close at 1,755.85 last Friday. Persistent  global  and  regional  turbulence  as  well  as  the  unwinding  of  the  regional  carry-trade sparked  the  selling.  Volume  ranged  from  1.43b  to  2.11b  shares  traded.  The  weaker  support areas for the FBM KLCI are in the 1,712 to 1,737  zone. The key resistance levels of 1,755  and 1,826 will see some heavy liquidation activities.

The  index consolidated in a range of 801 to 936 from Oct 2008 to Apr 2009, but broke above 936.63 (Wave a/B) in Apr 2009. Its intermediate Wave b/B low was 836.51. We have traced out a Wave C/B (of the Flat 3-3-5 variety) rebound phase, and revised our Wave Count of a Wave iv/B correction to 1,310.53. The current extended Fifth Elliott Wave (EW) of the major Flat v/C/B-leg correction  from  the  801.27  low  to  1,826.22  (on  6  May  2013)  has  obvious  bearish  divergence signals despite the index’s rise to all-time highs  on a gap-up move  after GE13. The FBM KLCI is in overbought and bearish divergent territory and the EW count suggests a stalled uptrend at 1,826.22. With the Bearish Weekly Engulfing pattern that emerged two weeks ago, this could cause  investors to continue to adopt a short-term trading  strategy. Rampant foreign selling on potentially weaker and volatile world and regional markets would cause the large local institutional funds to buy lower, as foreigners dispose of their positions.
