TECHNICAL PULSE
DBS Bank Ltd
Current Sentiment: BEARISH-RANGING
DBS has retested and broken the uptrend line for the 2nd time yesterday and most likely the market will continue its bearish correction. Despite turning lower, the market still has potential to rally as the 2 demand zone confluence strongly with the 78.6% and 88.6% of the Fibonacci retracement level.
To further add on, the 200 Simple moving average is trending near the 1st demand zone and this may be a clue that market may find itself at that level to rally. So do watch out for that level.
