Notes :
Hold = If your entry was low and the stock is in-the-money. Continue to ride on the trend
Hold ( trend weakened ) = As above but the trend has weakened and sell signal may surfaced any time
Sell = Do not go long ( it does not imply you should go short though )
Buy = You may go long but should the index turn bearish you may need to exist as well
The Straits Times Index :
On the STI chart above, MACD has formed one dead cross and two "kiss of death" similar to the period between Feb 21 - May 3 before the index breakdown on May 4 when MACD crossover the zero line. MACD continues to trend down heading toward the zero line. The rate of ascend on the price chart has decelerated. Aug 14 day's high failed to breach Aug 6 & 7 day's highs. Prices are now testing the uptrend line.
There are enough caution signs from the above that the uptrend is weakening. When the uptrend line is violated and/or MACD crossover the zero line, do expect volatility to return.
