SPH (T39): BREAKOUT
Commentary:
STI has reached a new 2017 high today, currently trading at 3,161.74 (at point of writing). The bullish momentum may be supported by the stablising global economic conditions.

Investors may consider defensive income stocks to gain exposure to the bullish momentum, as such stocks provides dividend support if prices fall back. One stock investors can consider is SPH (T39). 
 
Technical Observation:
The stock has been in the mark down phase since mid 2014. Early this year, the mark down halted at S$3.45 amid lower revenue and earnings. This may suggest that the stock's mark down phase has potentially ended and accumulation phase taking place.

SPH broke out this morning above the S$3.53 range high. This may suggest that the stock is looking to mark up from current price towards 1st Target: S$3.62, Mark Down Channel Upper Band and potentially 2nd Target: S$3.72, 38.2% retracement from previous high, S$4.15. Stop lost at S$3.445, below low of accumulation phase.

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.

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.
