Straits Times Index and Dow Jones Index

Continue from the last posting, we were looked at STI from a weekly perspective. We saw a morning start candlestick pattern. Sat on a critical level. So, if it hold true, the index should continue to be bullish.  However when you examine it from a daily timeframe, we realize the index get resisted by the trendline we drew much earlier. Last week was a bullish week, after STI has bearish for four weeks.

Cross check with Dow Jones Index, DJI, we also find a similar pattern that Dow Jones Index was also bullish for the week, except it get indecisive towards the end of the week, Friday. DJI is now also resisted by a parallel trendline that we drew earlier.

Now, we see two different views from two different timeframes; daily and weekly. One says up, the other says down. Which one is correct? The answer is both are correct. At the lower timeframe, the index could be get resisted for a few days, but finally for the week it can still closed bullish.

The market will continue to be volatile. Traders and investors will continue to buy and sell. Trade with caution.
