• Despite the weak economic conditions and rise number of new cases in April 2020, the banks had a steady rebound as we have forecasted in our report on 18^th March 2020

• We expect the sell-off to intensify after the current round of correction as the technicals indicate a weakening momentum.

DBS weekly chart shows the clear and expected rebound at 17.39, which is the  161.8% extension level of 31.25-22.69. The rebound forms a strong bullish engulfing but subsequent candlestick momentum shows a lack of a strong bull, thus there is a clear signal that selling begins to emerge at the 20.00 psychological resistance, which confluence with the November 2017 low.

Should price remains below 20.00 by end of this week, there will be a clear indication that price will continue its 5^th wave down to 14.74-15.28 or 13.94-13.24 before a rebound.

Price rebounded as expected at 17.30 demand region based on the March report and the rebound mirrored the structure of DBS with sell-off occurring at 20.00 region.
