KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI stayed in positive territory at mind-morning on Monday, Oct 25 and was up 2.85 points to 1,493.49 at 10am. Gainers led losers by 317 to 124 while 221 counters traded unchanged. Volume was 225.48 million shares valued at RM169.1 million. RHB Research Institute Sdn Bhd said the short-term outlook for the FBM KLCI remains optimistic.
It said last Friday's negative candle confirmed the previous day's "star" candle and suggested that the FBM KLCI may risk more profit-taking activities in the immediate term.
However, immediate weakness could be limited given the firm immediate support level near the 10-day SMA of 1,489, it said.
"In fact, investors should view this as an opportunity to collect value stocks for further positive push ahead.
"And as we reiterated, as long as the benchmark index trades and stablises near the SMA, the short-term outlook remains optimistic and the FBM KLCI is expected to retest the 1,500 psychological level and the recent high of 1,503.82 soon," it said.
Beyond that, sentiment will turn even more bullish and it will lift the index towards the all-time high of 1,524.69 next, said RHB Research.
For a longer-term view, the index is well supported by the support near a technical gap of 1,472-1,476, followed by the 1,450 and the 40-day SMA of 1,462, it said.
