STI Weekly Technical Outlook (7 Dec - 11 Dec 15)


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

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

Levels to watch:
Resistance 2: 3,100
Resistance 1: 2,950
Support    1: 2,845
Support    2: 2,740

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.

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

Secondary Trend is bearish as MACD continues to be bearish and trades below the zero line.

Minor Trend is bullish as ROC(10) uptrend continues but cautious as its still below the zero line.

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.

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.
