Probable STI Movement
Preferred  : Bullish uptrend trades towards 2,950
Alternate  : Sideway range between 2,845 - 2,900

Remarks: STI traded sideway for the week as forecasted. As we observe that ROC(10) continues to be in uptrend momentum, this implies that the is strength within the last week's sideway movement and we may see a short term uptrend price movement this week.

This week will also be a crucial week for STI. As both STI's momentum indicator MACD will test its signal line and ROC(10) will test its zero line. A successful breakout for both, will lead STI to a medium term uptrend rally.
