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

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.

Keppel DC REIT (AJBU): Expect price to trade towards S$2.00

  Keppel DC REIT (AJBU) Expect price to trade towards S$2.00 We have observed a decrease in technical supply at the S$1.80 support area during recent trading sessions. Furthermore, a softer interest rate outlook could be advantageous for the Data Centre operator.  Consequently, we anticipate the REIT to move towards our initial target of S$2.00, with the potential to reach S$2.20 if it breaks through resistance. Our stop level is set below S$1.72. Disclaimers Apply
