1ST HALF TECHNICAL OUTLOOK

OUTLOOK OVERVIEW

• World Markets Dive into medium term Down Trends

• Some of which threaten to rub in a Bearish-like Phase

• Such down trends may need a Selling Capitulation or Reversal Pattern to blow itself out

• This requires Patience, Prudence and timely Positioning to reign in the Opportunity this Price Crisis brings on

GLOBAL TECHNICALITIES

PSEi -9.9%

SP500 -9.0%

MS WORLD -11.7%

MS EMF - 12.7%

CHINA -15.8%

PSEi vs SP500, DMs, EMs & CHINA (YTD)• Global markets open the Year with a downward bang

• China has led the global decline losing over 15%

• The selling rout has infected both Developed and Emerging markets

• The Philippines has had its share of a decline

• …but it is clear the drop is not endemic to the Philippines and may require global maneuverings (stimulus efforts) to resolve

Markets Proceed to Slide in 2016

What happened? China, Devals, Rates, Oil

Shanghai Index

China has fallen over 40% from its high in June 2015; has recently passed below 2015’s lowest close

Chinese Yuan

The Chinese Yuan still shows a devaluating trend but did hit overbought levels (needs to adjust)

US I-Rates Vs Dow Jones IA

What happened? China, Devals, Rates, Oil

(S1) 15,470

(S2) 14,800

• Historically when US Rates begin to rise, the Dow Jones usually shows negative response into the short-medium term

• Since 1987, 3 of the 4 rate hikes incited a transitory lull (1-Yr) in prices then saw a continued advance; it only differed in 2000

• The Dow Jones has already broken beneath its 7-yr Up Trendline; next support at 15,740 then 14,800

• The Sp500 and Nasdaq have not yet broken their Up Trendlines… but such major support tests near

Sp500 has corrected dangerously close to its 7-yr Up Trendline Support [1,840 followed by 1,750-1,570]

SP500

(S1) 1,840

(S2) 1,750

What happened? China, Devals, Rates, Oil

(S2) 18.30

OPEC & World Oil Supply

• Oil production remains high despite drop in Oil price

• Higher volumes are the only way to drive revenues at lower energy prices

• Storage for Oil inventories running tight

• Low prices hurt Oil export business & raises their credit risk

Mapping the PSEi on the Elliot Wave

Wave Track:• 5th wave of a Bearish

“A” wave

• “B” wave recovery should

come next (major rally)

• Followed by a “C” Bullish Bearish

What does a “B” wave look like?

(R1) 6,600-6,700

(R2) 7,000-7,400

Basing Pattern

or ‘V’-Shape

A

B

“B” Wave:• Must first establish a

base

• Usually by a basing

pattern (double base or

higher-low) or V-Shape

drive

• Possible rally towards

6,600-6,700; hopefully it

widens to 7,000-7,400

Double Low Higher Low

• Assumptions:• We are in a Down Trend

• But we are nearing the end of the first part of the down trend [A-wave]• Weekly RSI reads (below 30% or 27%) may attest to this

• Major price targets (of support) are very close

• Prices will soon ride into a major (but temporary) recovery [B-wave]

• How to capitalize on the Price Crisis:• Enter on a selling extreme and look to sell into a viable rally to resistance

• Resistance may be targeted by using 16 to 32-day Moving Averages

• You may have to be quick – as counter trend trading requires good sense and speed

• Prepare to look out for a Reversal Pattern or V-Shape• Better to spot and enter these, rather than guess a low

• Do this preferably on quality issues (your time to buy them at a steal)

Trading Strategy

Signals:• Look for oversold conditions in good

quality stocks (pref ‘Big Blues’, 1st

liners or good solid names)

• Daily RSI reads should be deeply oversold ( < 25% or less)

• Weekly RSI reads should be close to or under 30%

• Keep watch for (bullish) Divergences (can override weekly RSI requirement)

• Price spreads to their 8-day or 16-day Moving Average are far

Worthy Pick

• Global markets have shown heavy declines• Expect choppiness and volatility to continue

• But oversold prices may soon offer up some recoveries

• Heavyset declines may also entice govt’s to ‘stimulate’ a rebound

• The Philippines has suffered a bearish decline• A pullback close to 6,000 is getting near to major support 5,890-5,700

• We could be at the verge ending the “A”-Wave (Elliot)

• And this may soon trigger into a wider recovery “B”-Wave

• Take advantage of extreme / emotional selloffs• Even declines need to fall at controlled speeds

• A wider rally will surface; offer recoveries close to resistance 6,600-6,700

• But remember that the major trend still points down• Sell into rallies and then wait for down trends to turn
