SINGAPORE COVID-19 Wave 3 Projection Update IXLike a bad zombie movie, the unexpected happened. The start of July appeared as if all was going well, and then suddenly, a new cluster was discovered and the depth and width of this cluster spread was far deeper and wider than anticipated. The model did not pick up this incoming, and for the first time it failed to. This has significance as it is an anomalous event, a game changer if you will, and in such circumstances, it tells a lot.
The green arrows depict the speed of the spread, as well as the discovery by detection. Yes, we are getting better at detection, but only after knowing that there is a cluster. The green arrows point steeper upwards in the past two weeks and the weekly chart signals that this would take more weeks than previously, as well as there would be more affected than previously.
The initial spike has not yet decelerated, but should be tapering off in the weeks to come, thereafter, we may or may not see smaller spikes with smaller clusters surfacing.
Stricter measure have just been put in place and it would take months for this one to pan out, taking us to end August.
Nonetheless, Singapore still remains very lucky by any comparison to the rest of the world. When luck runs out, we would not know, but this is a warning yet again that any complacency would be met with a viral comeback response.
HODL would be appropriate for this circumstance... stay well and safe!

SINGAPORE UK INDONESIA COVID-19 UpdateSingapore COVID-19 is on a downtrend, albeit a potential small spike due to some infected hostesses may have affected a number of people. Not the most flattering of ways to get a spike. But it is tapering off for now...
UK on the other hand, eases its measures today, but leaves me wondering IF anyone is even watching the charts, or doing any statistical studies. The wave onset projected is on time, and it is on now... starts now, for the next couple of months! Hello ??
Indonesia has gotten from bad to worse to even worse. Projections are underestimating the acceleration as daily cases from 20,000 a week ago now hits 40,000 yesterday. This would take more than a couple of months to slow down, if at all. IT's too little too late for vaccinations now, but that's the best weapon there is in the shed.
Malaysia is modulating the current wave, and current projections point to a slow down in infection spread.
Abaxx Technologies $ABXX /$ABXXF TANotes state my thoughts on the matter. I could see price being supported by the LR mean if a roll over does occur.
There is SPECULATION that Abaxx may be awarded its clearing house license over the coming week. This may provide the catalyst to push Abaxx out of its DTL. I am holding long shares and looking to see some tight price action in the +3SD channel to set up a push up.
Abaxx is a pre-rev company and trades on the NEO exchange in Canada. It trades OTC on the QX by the ticker $ABXXF. You can expect spreads of up to 0.05. I recommend Limit Buys.
As always do your own due diligence before buying a security, especially a pre-rev one. And follow your own trading rules.
Cheers,
Luke
DBS also has downside riskDBS, the biggest component of the STI, appears to have great downside risk.
Breaking below support of 29.60, after a lower high, means a lower low is put in place.
The weekly chart already had a Bearish Engulfing last week, and this week (left with 1.25 days) closing down below 29.60 to end the week would be another toppish candlestick pattern called the Three Outside Down pattern. Bad for tops.
MACDs and RPMs look like shite... heads up.
Oh, btw... may be a couple of weeks for this to pan out IF it really breaks down.
SINGAPORE COVID-19 Wave 3 Projection Update VIIFinally! The MACD histograms are heading further down, suggesting that we are moving into the clear and probably have control over the current wave. The week is "over" and weekly chart documents a retrograde. Looks like we are coming out of this on June 13th!
COVID-19 tracking SG and her neighbours (MY, ID and TH)Looking at the weekly charts...
1. All, except ID, are increasing in Wave 3, with differing levels of acceleration.
2. ID may be having an uptick...
3. SG's momentum is still strong for another two weeks at least.
4. Both My and TH have strong momentum to further increase. MY's situation is bad enough with TH's situation being worse.
Overall, the three neighbours have at least another 2-4 weeks of the wave to ride out; of which the northern two probable take months more...
PS. Previously described, the MACD and MACD Histograms are very useful in projecting the virus infection waves. Used here for personal monitoring and analysis. What this simple tool identified does is to allow an advantage to be ahead of the curve instead of being behind it chasing the virus as it silently sweeps across the population.
SINGAPORE COVID-19 WAve 3 Projection Update VIAs projected, and not optimistic and overconfident about the downward momentum, the MACD Histograms are again increasing, and about to break above zero. This leads into the insight and foresight that the week to come should see more detected cases, and also more clusters probably.
We need to understand that virus infections work in waves, and this method allows a reliable tracking based on data analytics, simply on the MACD histograms.
PS. apologies for the mislabeling of colours of the arrows in the last update. Rectified.
SINGAPORE COVID-19 Wave 3 Projection Update VAn update to just say that the numbers are really looking really great now, with the MACD histograms falling and going below zero, not only for the Daily, but also for Weekly chart (not shown here).
Now, to wait and see the next week or so, if it flattens or starts increasing again...
Having said that, our neighbour, Malaysia, is undergoing a huge resurgent wave. And I just saw a reaport that over 8,000 students have been diagnosed. This is terrible for the country, and I fear that IF they do not manage to control it well enough, the future holds that the next wave would be from our immediate neighbours.
I do wish them well soonest.

SINGAPORE COVIS-19 Wave 3 Projection Update IVWhile the weekly chart still show some momentum, the daily chart has plateaued as expected (from update III) and the MACD histograms have started to decrease. This means that as we grapple with the current situation, with a pseudo lockdown, the effects are observable as we catch up with the curve. This downtrend needs to continue consistently for the next two weeks. Any flare up would mean we missed a part of the next infection generation and are actually in the eye of the storm instead of on the way out of the storm.
Let us see...

SG: STI gonna snook manyBullish case for the STI
1. Technicals are looking bullish
2. Quick recovery after failing the 55EMA
3. Waiting to break out of trend line resistance
Bearish case for the STI
1. IF it breaks down the support of the last low, it is a goner.
and somehow, IF I had to make a call, against obvious odds, I see that in higher and unexpected probability of a down draft.
Let's see by the end of the week... heads up anyways!

SINGAPORE COVID-19 Wave 3 Projection Update IIILast week, an update was made and projected that this Wave 3 was to be more significant and previous, as well as longer in duration.
The days passed with events that corroborated with the projection, and in fact, surpassed the projection.
The MACD histograms had crossed sooner than expected and the MACD lines show the momentum of the up trend. What this translating into is that this Wave is growing and becoming larger as the days go by. The previous projection was still underestimating the amplitude of the wave; which now looks larger and longer to contend with. By estimating the the momentum, together with virus infection dynamics and including measures imposed, it may be reasonable to expect at least 6-8 weeks before we see the plateau. This would bring us into July 2021.
Check in again next week... meanwhile, stay safe, seriously.
STI breaks down below 6 week trading rangeLooking at STI Weekly chart, price was in range for about 6 weeks and had a significant break down.
It will seem that the long term downtrend channel may be as a temporary support and further breakdown back into the downtrend channel will likely resume bearish outlook.
The past movement indicate highly cautious move, sell into exuberant strength seems higher probability than attempt for range trading.

SINGAPORE COVID-19 Wave 3 progress updateQuick check in the COVID-19 situation for Singapore shows that there is some level of stabilization.
As more cases and clusters surface, this may be the eye of the storm, and the next weeks will show us what might come in June...
Watch for it!
