S&P500: Reaching 200-day Moving Average

The S&P500 is reaching the 200-day Moving Average(green) around 1250. Coupled with the previous low(labelled a), it is a likely region for a bounce. In case of a failure, good support is the previous high of 1220. Note the suggested corrective wave count, implying possibility of further upside in the medium-term. For now though, any upside should be limited to 1300 range.

Singapore Exchange & The Straits Times Index

SGX - Set for a bounce?

Previous posts on the Singapore Exchange (SGX), speculated on my bearishness on the merger as well as the stock price.Since my last post noting a break in the uptrendline for SGX, prices have declined, attempted a back-test, and declined again. A technical bounce is likely for the SGX here, around $7.20. Supporting this view are the declining volumes and the RSI divergence. A sustained break below this level on increasing volumes will negate this play. Upside is limited to the $7.70 pivot initially, or the downtrendline(blue) whichever comes first.


STI - At support, but no reversal signals yet

On the other hand, the Straits Times Index (STI) has not thrown up any reversal signal yet. But price is at a decent support level here at 3040. With weak global cues going in the summer holidays, it remains to be seen if STI can muster enough buyers to move up towards 3120. Further support is as shown on chart.


All the best!
