Personally, I don’t think so. I think forecasts place a noose around your neck and keep
you from simply trading what you see happening at the time when it happens. In fact, I
believe that, if you are trading short-term intraday, a forecast means nothing to you, and
the more times you see a forecast, the worse off you will be.
Each day is a new day, and, unless the market is enveloped in a major fundamental bias, it will not
head in one direction or the other for the entire day. What the market will do most days is move in
the direction of least resistance as it tests the strengths and weaknesses of the forecasters.
But, as we enter each new day, we can certainly have prepared guidelines to follow. These will fall
under certain technical categories that we always know will influence the actions of the “smart
money” in the marketplace.
If the prior day has left the TREND-following players with a positive direction to follow, and nothing
has been revealed overnight that changes that opinion, the TREND followers will start off the day
trading in that direction. They really have no choice.
If the current TREND is approaching critical geometric support or resistance levels, you can be sure
the “smart money” will know where they are. The “smart money” will be watching for OVERBOUGHT
or OVERSOLD indicator readings when the market price approaches any of these levels.
As traders, we need to evaluate the importance of the levels the “smart money” will focus on as the
day progresses. Professional traders develop habits they stick to because they know that is the best
approach to staying flexible.
Many start off the day with the basics, such as the knowledge of where the previous and nearest
swing pivot levels are located and also the levels the Floor Traders (FTPs) publish each day as PIVOT
POINT, S1, S2, R1, R2. Pros use the FTPs as a guide to market strength or weakness.
Prior SWING levels are important technically because they define past levels of implied support or
resistance. During the course of a new trading day, the market will gravitate up and down, testing
prior levels of support and resistance, as well as the FTPs.
As it does this, the market will attract buyers and sellers prepared to take profits and / or establish
new positions in the opposite direction. If these implied support or resistance levels fail to hold the
market, this occurrence will work its way down or up to the next obvious levels the “smart money”
will have on their minds.
Potential support and resistance levels come in various forms as geometric levels derived from
recent market activity. Traders work these levels out in relationship to the daily, 60-minute, 15-
minute and right down to the 1-minute charts available to them.
R2 is at 1266.25 and S2 is at 1250.25, which leaves us with a possible 16-point range to deal with.
Each day should be approached in the same way, and, then, you just let the market declare its own
hand. Once the trading day begins, you can start to work it from a much closer perspective.

The KLCI failed to be supported at the 1338 level. The lowest low of the week was 1323.76. Looks
like the KLCI and other markets are geared for a major correction. New lows are expected to be
tested this week and investors, especially those bought at higher prices had uneasy weekend
because the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 281 points (2.09%)
The KLCI trend has started to be bearish and its strength is developing as the ADX indicator is rising.
The KLCI is expected to test at least the psychological level of 1300. The 38.2% Fibonacci
retracement from the upward rally since early March to the peak in end June is at 1285. Therefore,
the last line of defense for the up trend correction or crucial support should be seen at 1285 to 1300.

The STI went below the support level of 3480 and went to a low of 3399 last week (a 38.2%
Fibonacci retracement from the up trend rally since early March till end June. Like I have mentioned
last week, that if 3480 support level is broken, the next support level is at 3300, which very close to
the 50% retracement level. STI is expected to test this level and probably go even lower, looking at
circumstances in the US market.
The STI trend is now downwards and the short term down trend is getting stronger, as the ADX
indicator has started to increase. The long term trend has also been affected by the strong
downward momentum. We may be looking at a major correction in the STI taking place now.

Additional Thailand SETI and Stocks analysis by Don Schellenberg, Senior Market
Strategist, NextView
Analysis of SETI
On July 26th Thailand’s Stock Index reached a high of 895.63, very near my first major target of 900,
around which a correction was expected.
So far the drop has been quite steep. However, fairly strong support is nearby in a zone between
810-800..
We can see on the chart that the index broke down through a steep Trend Line (TL#1). That was
expected because the rise in value was becoming parabolic – rising too far too fast.
The next important supporting Trend Line (TL#2) is currently around 780.
TECHNICALS:
Analysis of KTB
Some price patterns that are commonly seen on charts are extremely reliable in predicting the next
movements in price. KTB.th is a good example of this fact.
On July 20/07 I analyzed the KTB price chart in this column. I wrote as follows: “I’m showing you
this chart because it’s an excellent example of what I call and ABC pattern on the chart. This
commentary may also help some investors who don’t want to hold on to this stock while it drops
I also wrote “…this stock could also rally somewhat as in a ‘bearish market rally’ but I expect that
price for this stock will reach 10 before it reaches 14.”
So far this is exactly what happened. On July 20th, the day of my commentary, this stock price was
rising when I forecast that it would go down – and it continued rising for three more days before
collapsing down to around 11 at this time.
May I suggest that it is extremely useful for traders and investors to learn some of the common
reliable signals that can be seen on charts.
Although there may be another small rally soon, the main direction is still down, with the first
downside price target being 10.60. Later a lower target is still a genuine possibility.
TECHNICALS:
Price pattern – the price pattern itself is the main reason for my downside forecast. It is still in
effect.
Li’s Sandwich – suggests some support will be found around 10.50.
NextView RSI- On July 20th the RSI was in a positive zone – but is now very clearly down.
Arrow on chart – points to July 20th/07

The short term 30-day moving average support level has finally been broken. The long term 90 day
moving average support level is around 21,260, while the strong support level (which was once the
strong resistance level is at 21,000). With trend being bearish and a heavy fall in the US market, the
HSI is expected to correct downwards further at least to these support ranged of between 21,000 to
21300. Expect the Hong market to be very volatile this week, especially in the beginning of the week.

severe beating downwards failed as the DJI fell sharply on Friday once again. The trend has started
to turn bearish. The ADX is increasing, indicating that the down trend is getting stronger. The DJI is
expected to test the next support level at 13,000 and may even go lower to test the stronger
support level at 12750.
