Major asset classes trading at technical support

 





Thoughts on Week Ahead:
Week 9 Oct 2023

The past week has been quite a turbulent ride in the stock market, as it grappled with mixed signals from economic data concerning the outlook for interest rates.

Investors are closely monitoring the current earnings reports to discern whether the robust economy can withstand a high-interest-rate environment. Positive earnings surprises could potentially aid in the market's recovery following a recent correction.

Aside from corporate earnings, investors are also keenly interested in the release of the US FOMC minutes, the US CPI report, China's trade figures, and Singapore's GDP data.

From a technical perspective, major asset classes like Gold, Oil, NASDAQ, and the S&P 500 have all reached their respective support levels, with minor support for the latter. We anticipate that bargain hunting will pick up steam, potentially leading to at least a short-term upward movement in the week ahead. Nevertheless, we remain cautious and watchful for any signs of increased supply entering the market.

For tactical trades, we aim to long technology stocks that have been beaten by recent interest rate pressure for the week ahead.

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
