Diversify of plantation sectorYesterday showed a sharp rise of the plantation sector in the morning; the rise of this sector is because of the shifting of biofuel to bio-oil. Some of the companies substituted from using biofuel to bio-oil because of the shortage of bio-oil from the closed Hormuz Straits.
These organisations have to find other alternatives to divert from depending on bio-oil that affected their operations. Therefore, the price of bio-oil increases rapidly unknowingly because of the effect. Be cautious; not all of the company can substitute bio fuel with bio-oil because it depends on the usage and compatibility.
Lastly, the intensity of today's spike won't last long – but the plantation sector's outperformance has solid legs well into 2027.

May or may not BreakoutWhile the stock was up 17% over the month of January 2026, analysts flagged weak fundamentals — specifically a low ROE of MYR0.04 per MYR1 of shareholder equity, well below the industry average of 8.3%. Net income has declined 25% over five years, attributed partly to a high dividend payout ratio of 66%, leaving little capital for reinvestment.
The data indicates that the company is declining in income and may not have a good momentum, but the chart shows that the price is trying to increase from 0.48. The RSI shows it will cross the yellow line, which means the price will rise or may not.
May increase because of good momentumThe company reported unbilled orders worth RM35.4 million as of mid-2024 and is expected to see robust growth in earnings through 2026, supported by increased investments in transportation infrastructure.
Go Hub reported revenue of RM12.22 million in Q4, representing a 21.71% increase year-on-year compared to RM10.04 million in the same quarter the previous year.
The chart illustrates that the price of the counter is increasing, also following with momentum. The indicator shows a positive reaction for the price to increase and follow an uptrend for higher highs and higher lows. We can see whether the price will increase or it will do a minor pullback to create another higher low.
Increasing of Brent Oil From the chart we can see that the price of Brent oil hikes as the tension from the Iran-US/Israel war in the East Central and from the closing of the Strait of Hormuz increases. The oil from East Central cannot move to be distributed to other countries that need it. For now the supply of oil is decreasing, and demand for the oil is still the same.
Therefore, the disruption of supply increases the price of the oil rapidly, and the price of Brent oil pushes the price of every oil regulator to jump. The increasing price is only momentary, but the time is unknown until when so the price will hike for a while because the demand cannot be fulfilled.

NATGATE - 8 RECORD SESSION LOWS ?NATGATE : CURRENT PRICE : RM1.00 - RM1.02
NATGATE has been in a corrective phase and recently printed an 8-session low, which often signals selling exhaustion and opens the door for a technical rebound. (The record session topic is discussed by STEVE NISON in his book - BEYOND CANDLESTICK , PAGE 121 - 127)
A bullish piercing line appeared in Friday’s session, where buyers pushed price well into the prior bearish candle’s body. Stochastic oscillator is currently in the oversold zone, signalling a potential technical rebound.
ENTRY PRICE : RM1.00 - RM1.02
FIRST TARGET : RM1.10
SECOND TARGET : RM1.22 (near EMA 200) - The EMA 200 has capped price twice, acting as strong dynamic resistance, look at the green highlighted area.

Pullback deeper or can buy ady?*MAYBANK*
We are currently observing a sharp pullback for Maybank, but there is no cause for alarm as the overall trend remains *firmly bullish* . This movement is deemed as a healthy correction within an established uptrend, allowing the stock to digest recent gains.
Technically, the price is currently hovering around the Golden Ratio (50-61.8%) Fibonacci retracement level. While our banking analyst notes that Maybank’s results are in line with expectations, the current chart pattern suggests there may still be room for further minor correction at this juncture. For investors looking for a more attractive entry point, it may be prudent to wait for a deeper discount closer to the MYR11.50 mark, which aligns with our support zone.
Our key support levels are established at *MYR11.50 (S1)* , followed by *MYR11.10 (S2)* and *MYR10.70 (S3)* . On the upside, we have pegged immediate resistance at MYR12.20, with a secondary target at MYR12.70.

TENAGA (MYX)
On the daily chart, the 14.16 level has been a level that's been retested multiple times. We could see price recently broke the level with increasing volumes indicating a strong bullish momentum. On the 4hr chart, we could see theres a doji candle in the retracement towards the area. A green candle after the doji would signal our entry as a candlestick pattern. Stops would be 1 atr below the lows aiming for a 1.4:1 risk reward ratio.
