Technically, potential break up from resistance might be forming.

OCBC: The counter is hovering around its 3 months resistance ~ 8.94. Coming CD period supposed to be by August. Major concern are non performing loan as well as earning contributed from Great Eastern (which dragged down overall profit last quarter) on coming report. Historically, EX (exclusive-dividend) period on Aug used to be bargain hunting window for the counter.

ST Engineering: The counter has never broken 3.46 since Jun 2016. Recent bull run was mainly due to rising risk appetite among investors globally. It would be interesting to see whether the one year resistance could be exceeded. Similarly, August would be dividend period from the counter, and price used to fall on EX date.

Chart[7] - Local Banks

It was an exiting week for local blue chips as most were facing strong rally. Buyers over the past few months might be seeing light in end of tunnel! This round we combine valuation (fundamental analysis) and major resistance lines (technical analysis) in the following counters. Let use P/B ~1 as the min target (as price is still attractive) and dividend yield closer to 3% as the bonus (price tends to be less attractive). Investor could decide whether to enter or exit from the counters accordingly. Similar method could be applied on other counters as well. For potential sellers, it would be wise to spread exit points instead of one, because you might not want to miss any surprise that market brings you.

DBS:
Buyer has been in upper hand over seller, as the uptrend followed with significant volume. Current price is still below its book value. Room for value hunting is limited as of now. 


OCBC:
Similarly, the counter is under bullish trend. It has broken resistance at 8.03 and 8.52. Immediate resistance is 8.85. Buyer shall wait for a retreat. However there is not selling signal from trend yet.


Note:
Net asset value = entity's value - entity's liability 
P/B < 1 means price is under net asset value.

Chart[6] - Singtel

SingTel has completed its first wave of rebound from 3.4 to 3.8. It retreated to 3.64 then bounced to 3.7. It showed that support @ 3.64 is firm. Price could be either range bouncing, or forming higher high.

 

Adding indicator, EMA10(Close), EMA10(Open) and EMA50, price rebounded from EMA50. Trader could take position for potential upward movement. Trend might look down shall price break down from middle line of Bollinger Band ~ 3.64.

Char[5] - STI

Timeframe: Next 5 trading sessions (The daily chart provides an idea of where the market might move over the next 5 trading sessions, after which it would be best to review the chart again)

As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours and it does seem to apply to the financial markets given the downward movement experienced since the start of the year. The question being asked is if there is any reprieve in sight. With the overbought/oversold  (OB/OS) indicator in the Business Times today at -1064 (http://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/biztimes19880319-1.2.22.4.aspx), it is possible that the Singapore market might be due for a short rebound, due to the current oversold position that the market finds itself in.

Assuming the close of the market today is about the current index level at time of writing, and with not much further large increases in traded volumes, there is a good chance that the market might have be exhausting itself on its downward movement for the time being given the drop in traded volume. The candle formed would also be that of an abandoned baby candlestick which is normally a fairly bullish indicator.

Should a decent rebound take hold over the next few trading sessions, the market could bounce to the range of 2692-2714.
