With that, STI has taken off from the 3,200 level after testing and should be looking to head over to the next resistance at the 3,340- 3,360 region (green-coloured area) when the market reopens on 23 July 2018.

Signs of Accumulation

There were signs of accumulation as three points of accumulation had been observed by me. They are marked in circles and what it seems like is an inverted head and shoulders classical pattern. The pattern was successful as price managed to break out of the blue trendline drawn on the chart.
