SINGAPORE (Dec 22): The Straits Times Index ended the week below its 50-day moving average, currently at 3,068. Quarterly momentum has retreated and appears poised to fall below its own moving average.
The 21-day RSI continues to retreat. ADX which had been falling, has flattened. DIs are negatively placed. When ADX turns up, the STI could fall towards its Oct 26 intra-day low of 2,955.
Annual momentum continues to decline and this is likely to restrain rebounds and keep the index below its 200-day moving average.
