Market Forecast:
STI had been heading lower last week and breaking various supports along 3237pts level and filled the gap (that took placed in early Nov last year) eventually on this week Monday. To summarize, STI had retraced 61% from the recent record high of 3407 points within 2 months and currently extending its losses from the spillover of the Silicon Valley Bank saga despite the market had been excessively oversold.
Strategies: Go short-term, and yet to bottom-fish
I'm more into believing the technical rebounded likely to be happened this week till Thursday, as the SG's Feb NODX is going to be announced on that day. And for U.S. market, all eyes are on the CPI data reporting this Tuesday as this inflation thermometer somehow dictates whether the Fed really need to raise the rate aggressively again next week even the collapse of SVB is likely to slow things down.
With the collapses of the 3 U.S. banks within a week, most of the global financial surveillance watchdogs are putting their focuses back on the economic data. Blaming on Fed in pushing the interest rate too hard to curb inflation, the adversities start to kick into the U.S. financial system. Therefore, investors must aware of any heavy market tumble would likely to result in a "W" shape of double bottom trendline to form technically before the completion of one full correction.
