STI Weekly Technical Outlook (2 Nov - 6 Nov 15)



Straits Times Index (STI) Technical View:
Primary Trend (6mths or more) : Bearish
Secondary Trend (1-6mths)     : Bearish
Short Term(1mths or less)     : Neutral 

Trading the Singapore Market (Long Trades)
Long Term Trades : Not Preferred
Mid Term Trades  : Not Preferred
Short Term Trades: Selective

Levels to watch:
Resistance 2: 3,150
Resistance 1: 3,050
Support    1: 2,950
Support    2: 2,800

Probable STI Movement
Preferred  : Sideway Range between 2,950 - 3,050
Alternate  : Bearish downward movement towards 2,800

Remarks: STI fails to break its 3,050 resistance level. A failed breakout is bearish signal. 2,950 is a moderately strong support with a confluence of price level support and 50 days moving average support. Thus, STI may expect some support and trade range bound for this week. 

Comments on STI Technical View
Primary Trend is bearish as 55 Days SMA is trading below the 150 Days SMA and 144 Days SMA continues to be downward sloping.

Secondary Trend is bearish as MACD crossed below signal line and failed to break 2,950 resistance.

Minor Trend is neutral as ROC(10) is downward sloping and trades below zero. However, as STI is nearing its 2,950 support, may see possible short term rebound.

Wyckoff's Law of Effort

Image
Law of Effort Wyckoff's Law of Effort states that on any single trading day (or week depending on time frame), huge volume (effort) push by participants should see huge price movement, resulting in a wide spread (long body). This is a basic principle of effort and result. However, as per Singtel's case study, we saw huge selling volume on 11 May, yet the price action only shows a narrow spread (small body). This divergence of effort and result in Wyckoff's Law of Effort principles, indicates possible exhaustion in selling or hidden buying. Thus, with a lack of weakness, Singtel should continue trading range bound for the coming days or weeks till further strength or weakness is observed. Swing Traders who trades range can consider positions at 3.70-3.72, with exit target 3.76-3.78.

Bullish Case for Bitcoin

BTC Exhibiting Signs of Accumulation 1 year after BTC price plunged from its US$20,000 high to a recent low of US$3,215.20, now we are seeing technical evidence of  accumulation by the smart money is in progress . Above is an illustration of Accumulation Zone of the Wyckoff Price Cycle. We are watching very closely for price to cross the creek (est. US$4200 level).  A break above the level, we deem that price has proceeded into the Mark Up Phase with 1st objective at US$5,800. If creek is not crossed, a break below US$3,190 will falsify our Accumulation zone analysis. Join us in our FREE Introduction to Richard Wyckoff Seminar to learn more about the method and how the method add value to your market timing analysis.
