The PSEi continued with its strong
ascent from its trough at 1684 and has now risen for the last 19 months.
Can it continue to climb further? I guess that is what most people are
asking in the market right now. I guess as long as the trend in the
weekly chart is still up, then, the bulls will just have to continue to
expect prices to rise. The level to watch out for on the downside is the
3200 level. However, notice that the market's rate of ascent has dropped
considerably from a few months ago. While this may not be a cause for
panic, the bulls should be aware of it. The slower rate of ascent is
indicative of an uptrend that is getting tired. However, this is not a
reason to sell immediately as the market may continue to climb this way
for a long period of time. Looking at the chart above though, I would
presume that as the market gets closer and closer to its previous high
at 3900 or to its psychological resistance at 4000, the market's rate of
ascent may drop down further. Can't the market break above these levels?
Sure, but I doubt if it can do it in this run. For the market to break
above those levels, a major correction should occur first, in my
opinion. For the meantime though, just continue to enjoy this rally
until it lasts.
