Tenaga, Axiata, Maybank and IOI Corp's combined gains of 21-sen, 19-sen, 18-sen and 17-sen respectively accounted for the bulk of the FBM KLCI's week-on-week gain of 12.92 points, or 0.93 per cent.
Petronas Dagangan Bhd (Petdag) remained as the week's top performing component to-date with a total year-to-date gain of RM4.40, or 37.61 per cent.
The FBM KLCI's weekly chart continued to stay below its intermediate-term uptrend support (See FBM KLCI's weekly chart - A3:A4) during the week. It also continued to stay below the support of its immediate downside support (A1:A2) last week. It staged another successful re-test of its next support (A5:A6).
Chartwise, the FBM KLCI breached its immediate downside support (See FBM KLCI's daily chart - B5:B6) on September 15 and continued to stay below it on September 23. With that, the FBM KLCI had since stayed below its two trendlines (B3:B4 and B5:B6) last week. The FBM KLCI staged a successful re-test of its downside support (B7:B8) on September 26 before rebounding to close at 1,400.05 points yesterday.

The FBM KLCI's 14-day RSI stayed at 46.34 per cent level yesterday. Its 14-week and 14-month RSI stayed at 34.38 and 50.54 levels respectively.
Last week, this column commented that the FBM KLCI might stage another attempt in trying to crack its immediate overhead resistance of 1,400. It did. The FBM KLCI closed at 1,400.05 yesterday.
Against the backdrop of rebounds on the Wall Street and regional stock markets during the week, there is an even chance that these markets will remain in their rebound mood. With that, the FBM KLCI is likely to stage yet another follow-through rebound.
Next week, the FBM KLCI's envisaged resistance zone is at the 1,404 to 1,438 levels while its immediate downside support is at the 1,362 to 1,396 levels.
