Technical Commentary
GBGAQRS could be forming a base formation around the RM1.17-RM1.25 levels. As transacted volumes have been increasing in the past three month, this could be an indication that the share is undergoing the accumulation phase and could be poised for a breakout pattern above the RM1.25 level over the near term. The MACD Line is approaching the zero level and the RSI is trending higher above 50. Both indicators are suggesting that the momentum is picking up. If the price breaches above the RM1.33 level, it will be forming a “W” shape reversal pattern and the price target will be located around the RM1.50 and RM1.63 levels. Meanwhile, support will be pegged around the RM1.17 level.
Strategy
Investors and traders may start to buy around the support zone between the RM1.17- RM1.25 levels with a short term target pegged around the RM1.33 level. If the share price manages to surpass the RM1.33 level with high volumes, further buying activities should be executed and the price target will be envisaged around the RM1.50-RM1.63 levels. Cut loss, however, should be initiated if the price violates the RM1.15 support level.
