Thoughts on Week Ahead:
Week 13 Feb 23

Analysts Recommendation Revision, next market driver?

Market Recap
Markets experienced a volatile week,  S&P500 -1.11%, HSI -2.17%, due to uncertainty surrounding US FED interest rate policy. Dollar Index +0.57% spiked, causing a sell-off in some markets. Despite the selloffs and news headlines, market expectations for Fed fund futures remained at 5.25% for 2023.

Outlook for the Week Ahead
Volatility is expected to persist, particularly in HK and China. Meanwhile, US and SG markets are likely to experience sideways trading. DBS' results on Monday could set the direction for STI.

Analysts could revise their target prices and ratings, following a year of downgrades, as China reopening is expected to have a ripple effect on more industries and markets.

Weekly Investment Strategy
We see recent market correction as an opportunity to pick up quality names in the market. As long as markets do not breach key support levels, we are using this sell-off as a buying opportunity.

Following is link to stocks' Year to date performance for SG,HK and US markets. Overall investors seems picking up tech, travel related and consumer discretionary sectors. Likely rational, valuations becomes more reasonable and China reopen theme.

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.
