Trading the Singapore Market (Long Trades)

Short Term Trades: Preferred

Levels to watch:
Resistance 2: 3,100
Resistance 1: 2,950
Support    1: 2,845

Probable STI Movement
Preferred  : Bullish uptrend trades towards 2,950
Alternate  : Sideway range between 2,845 - 2,900

Remarks: STI traded sideway for the week as forecasted. As we observe that ROC(10) continues to be in uptrend momentum, this implies that the is strength within the last week's sideway movement and we may see a short term uptrend price movement this week.

This week will also be a crucial week for STI. As both STI's momentum indicator MACD will test its signal line and ROC(10) will test its zero line. A successful breakout for both, will lead STI to a medium term uptrend rally.

Week Ahead: US Indices Momemtum in Question

    Week Ahead: 10 March 2025 Key event this week was  U.S. indices technically closed below the key 30-week (or 150-day) moving average . For the upward trend to continue, the indices need to reclaim levels above the moving averages. Remaining below the 30-week (or 150-day) moving average could indicate that the upward trend has reversed downward. However, in the short term, we expect a rebound as the indices trade near their respective support levels. Medium Term: S&P 500 (SPX):  The S&P 500 broke below its key upward trendline, which had been established since October 2023. In the longer term, we expect the index to trade sideways or move in a downward direction. In the short term, we anticipate the S&P 500 will find support at the 5,700 level and could rebound to test the 5,860 and then the 5,966 resistance zones. Straits Times Index (STI):  The technical trend remains bullish. We maintain a constructive outlook while staying vigilant for any sig...
