Technical Analysis of Grameen2: Part 2 on 4 Feb 2017

Technical Analysis of Grameen2: Part 2 on 4 Feb 2017

This is no buy/sell recommendation - just a trial to see if Technical Analysis (works to an extent) in Dhaka Stock Exchange.

Before going into this analysis, I would like to evaluate the previous analysis of Grameen2 made on 31 Dec 2016: http://imti77az.blogspot.com/2016/12/technical-analysis-of-grameen2-on-31.html

The predicted scenario was a buy around 12 and sell around 15-16. After that, Grameen2 actually moved from 12.3 to 15.4

If you had taken a position around 12.4, then you could have sold around 15 getting around 20% return in a month.

In the mean-time, Grameen2 updated its Q2 results: (Q2 Un-audited): EPU was Tk. 0.35 for October-December, 2016 as against Tk. 0.30 for October-December, 2015; EPU was Tk. 0.54 for July-December, 2016 as against Tk. 0.44 (restated) for July-December, 2015. NOCFPU was Tk. 0.47 for July- December, 2016 as against Tk. 0.50 for July- December, 2015. NAV per unit at market price was Tk. 17.32 as of December 31, 2016 and Tk. 17.40 as of June 30, 2016. NAV per unit at cost price was Tk. 10.58 as of December 31, 2016 and Tk. 11.22 as of June 30, 2016; Post Date: 2017-01-29.

It’s NAV has also increased from 1st Jan to 31st Jan 2017 – from 17.32 to 18.42. I think it bodes well for the future although it’s reported Q2 EPU was not as much as I had expected!

Now to the Technicals: If we look at the Fibo retracements, it seems that 12 to 12.5 might offer a safer entry zone for the next run – that could test recent high of 15.4 and even 16+ if the market gets excited again.

I would set a “loose” stop loss at 11.5

Let us see what happens in the next run . . .

(Updated) Technical Analysis of ICB on 3 Feb 2017

(Updated) Technical Analysis of ICB on 3 Feb 2017

This is no buy/sell recommendation - just a trial to see if Technical Analysis (works to an extent) in Dhaka Stock Exchange.

I will try to update the Analysis of ICB made on 13 Jan 2017: http://imti77az.blogspot.com/2017/01/technical-analysis-of-icb-on-13-jan-2017.html

As ICB created a Higher High of 188.3 after my previous analysis (where I had assumed that the High was at 166), that analysis is invalid – although the general idea still remains the same.

It crossed two year high around 145. Now, if it can stay above 140’s, there could be significant up potential. Now, if it retraces to around 140 to 145 (on low volume) and then makes an up move, we could see another bullish move in ICB.

*(Note: TA is not a Science; it works 60-70% of the time so don’t be hooked on to the exact numbers – please allow some flexibility).

Stop loss would be 130 assuming buy at 140+

Let us see if it behaves Technically . . .

The Market takes back what it gives . . .

There are different versions of this saying – but I prefer this line as it has a fear factor.
It was a crazy bull run. From a Technical perspective, such a run, although beneficial, is not preferable. Rises followed by periods of consolidation before next moves are much better and safer as Support Zones are created before Resistances are tested – to be broken or not. I discussed it in BRAC Bank Analysis. It is also evident in Grameen2 chart.

It seems that lower interest rates might not offer much after inflation adjustment - this might be one of the reasons of increasing liquidity in the stock market.

Nevertheless, I think we should always be mentally prepared for a correction (and I have been warning of such for quite a few days) – which seems under way now. The worst case Scenarios are shown in the graph (but don't take them seriously as my earlier alternative scenarios went awry).



However, the pattern reminds me of the name of a classic – The Shape of Things to Come by H G Wells.

Note: The charts were prepared on 29 Jan 2017 before trading hours. Since then the market has eroded by 300 points only!!!

* I didn't share it earlier as it might have created panic!
