Indicators turn positive for index components

DBS GROUP HOLDINGS ($16.30) - Moving averages turn positive
- Longer term chart looks positive
- Following break above $15.60 and $16, counter has confirmed a break above a major base formation
- Support appears at $16
- Directional movement should support the uptrend

OVERSEA-CHINESE BANKING CORP ($8.98) - Moving averages strengthen
- Prices are testing a resistance area
- A breakout is a matter of time
- Any retreat should be shallow with support at $8.75
- Successful break above $9 indicate a target of $11

UNITED OVERSEAS BANK ($19) - Attempting to strengthen
- Counter has slightly less relative strength than the sector
- Prices are near a resistance area at $19 to $19.17
- Prices may ease towards $18.50
- Successful breakout provides objective of $20.70

SINGAPORE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ($4.23) - Upmove pauses
-  Immediate support is at $4.20
- If prices can hold, they have a better chance of forming a bull flag
- For this to materialise,  prices have to break above $4.32 in the next two session
- A successful break above $4.32 indicates a target of $4.67

KEPPEL CORP ($5.58) - Challenging breakout point
- Prices have been largely trading within a range since May
- Prices are likely to remain entrenched in a narrow range
- The level to note is when it moves above its 200 day moving average
- Breakout would provide a measuring objective of $6.30 initially and $7 subsequently

WILMAR INTERNATIONAL ($3.11) - Moving averages turn negative
- Before the price breakdown, the 50 and 100 day moving averages had already turned negative
- If break below $3.17 level is sustained, a measuring objective of $2.59 is indicated
- Downside would be invalidated if prices regain the $3.17 level
