Weakness on US Market


Early Warning
The above was a chart I shared with our Wyckoff community showing SnP500 climbing higher with a weak FFI reading (FFI is our proprietary price and volume based tool, free for our community, to recognise if funds are flowing and supporting a particular trend). A weak and divergence FFI signifies that the upward trend (mark up) is weak and poised for correction.

Within days, we saw the -54 points (1.90%) drop on S&P500. 

 What's More Important!
To add further, the -54 points is significant to our market studies. Its a Bearish Change of Character for SnP500. 

 Character is one of the key principles within our Wyckoff community. On a Upward Trend (Mark Up), we expect price to increase with more volume and pulls back with light volume, vice versa for downward trend (Mark Down).

 On 22 Mar, we saw SnP500 sell off with large volume on a upward trend. This signifies a bearish change of character on an upward move. 

 Now we are watching closely for further bearish observations to determine if the index has reached a top. 

 Below is an analysis of the chart.

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
