Titan Trading Notes For Wednesday [7/8/2024]:
$KLSE-KLCI had a good rebound back towards the 1574 points region today after the huge panic selling wave yesterday from the Nikkei crashing. Daily trading volume settled around the 6.3 billion mark, mostly dominated by buyers fortunately.
Main stocks that showed strong buying momentum today would be the likes of MYEG, VELESTO, SIMEPROP, WCT, TOPGLOV, JCY, MRCB, SUNWAY, UEMS, RGB, ARMADA, MAHSING, HIAPTEK, SPSETIA, DNEX, IJM, HARTA, ECOWLD, VS, YTL, and INARI. All of which were able to sustain their rallies throughout the day on the top volumes list.
Among others, $WCT / 9679 (WCT HOLDINGS BERHAD) was one of the stronger ones as it was able to hold above its RM 0.95+ main support levels over the past few days here and rebounded back above the RM 1+ regions already today with good volume.
For now could be forming a higher low region here and if able to breakout from its RM 1.05+ resistance levels, could continue to rebound further towards the RM 1.15+ regions soon.
Will be monitoring WCT closely here.
$JCY / 5161 (JCY INTERNATIONAL BERHAD) since breaking out towards the RM 0.93 major resistance levels, had been retracing over the past 2 months here and today, rebounded quite strongly from its RM 0.525+ major support levels with good volume and buying momentum.
For now could be forming a mid term dip region around the RM 0.525+ regions here on the daily chart and if able to sustain, could trend back towards the RM 0.65+ major resistance levels soon once more.
Although JCY is the least profitable HDD supplier among DUFU and NOTION, it ironically has the biggest market capitalization. Hence, will still be worth monitoring here.
$THETA / 9075 (THETA EDGE BERHAD) on the other hand is performing quite well here despite the huge panic selling wave earlier this week, still being able to hold well above its RM 2+ major support levels on both the hourly and daily charts.
For now climbing back well here towards the RM 2.27+ regions and if able to sustain, could breakout from its RM 2.40+ immediate downtrend resistance levels for an uptrend continuation pattern soon.
NIISE project will be announcing soon and THETA will be one of the main contenders. Will be monitoring it closely.
$DUFU / 7233 (DUFU TECHNOLOGY CORP. BERHAD) - Expects that the worst is over
From what I've been reading over the years, DUFU's management team has always been on the conservative side when making any statements and forecasts. So now, for the first time in a while, that their tone has started to turn positive, it's worth paying attention to.
Dufu had just announced a pretty solid set of results, with PAT rising about ~90% QoQ and ~150+% YoY, understandably coming from a low base, alongside another 1.5sen dividend. For those who had been following the memory market, you'd know that it was one of the hardest hit sectors vs other tech supply chains; but the latest results are not particularly surprising considering that both WD and Seagate had reported improving numbers in recent months.
Even other HDD players like $TEXCHEM / 8702 (TEXCHEM RESOURCES BERHAD) $NOTION / 0083 (NOTION VTEC BERHAD) $JCY / 5161 (JCY INTERNATIONAL BERHAD) in bursa alluded to the improving prospects in the sector.
On one hand, since the information is already "quite widely known", I wonder if the good numbers are already priced in considering DUFU had rallied from ~RM 1.7 to ~RM 2.3 this year. However, regardless of that, I, and so does DUFU's management, believe that the memory sector is reaching that pivoting point where "the worst is over" and we may start to see incremental improvements over the longer term here.
1. DUFU says that 2023 was "the lowest point" in the HDD market cycle, and that they are at the tail end of an unprecedented market downturn.
2. Within their operational businesses, they are seeing modest increase in demand.
3. They believe that the global semiconductor sales are picking up, and that the memory sector is seeing a potential onset of a new growth cycle.
4. Inventory adjustments has been completed and they are seeing increased demand in electronics and AI-related applications.
5. They are confident that the toughest phase is over and are looking towards growth again.

SENDAI is actually looking quite strong here for a potential bullish continuation pattern after building its higher low base at RM 0.50 over the past few months. For now as long as able to sustain above its RM 0.55 immediate support, could continue on towards and beyond the RM 0.60+ regions soon.
