now look for a close below the 21-DMA to gain breathing room and below the

dips below the 21-DMA (Php53.411) that reconfirms immediate focus on

Php54.325-817 where Dec 2005 highs and the bull channel top are situated. Bulls

their previously O/B condition and are now better placed for a fresh leg higher.

Bears now need a close below the 21-DMA to ease bullish pressure and below

is less than ideal given daily studies correcting from very O/B levels and

previous daily momentum divergence. Bears now need a close below Idr14250 to

confirm a break of the 21-DMA and ease bullish pressure, with below Idr14190 to

shift focus back to Idr14053-14110 where the 55-DMA (Idr14096) is located. Bulls

currently focus on Idr14480-620 while Idr14250 supports.
