KUALA LUMPUR (June 24): Shares of AirAsia Bhd were among the most actively trade in the morning session today after AllianceDBS Research said AirAsia was consolidating and that AirAsia had on June 23 traded higher to RM1.68 before closing unchanged at RM1.64.

At 12.30pm, AirAsia fell one sen to RM1.63 with 10.21 million shares done.

In its evening edition yesterday, the research house said AirAsia continued to trade below the 20-day and 50-day moving average lines.

“Following the unchanged close on June 23, the stock is expected to move between RM1.73 and RM1.53 in the coming few days.

“A crossover RM1.73 should see a further price rise to the next overhead resistance zone of RM1.83-RM2.00,” it said.

AllianceDBS Research, however, said a fall below RM1.53 could send the stock down to the subsequent support at RM1.43.
