ARA Weekly Chart as of August 15, 2025 showing price dip to ₱0.49 near short-term support.

Weekly candlestick chart of Araneta Properties, Inc. (ARA) with moving averages and key support-resistance levels.

Panimula: Pagkatapos ng Buwelo, Pasensya Muna?

Noong July 15, 2025, nakakita tayo ng breakout wick sa ₱0.56 kaya agad tayong nag-layer 1 entry sa ₱0.55. May kasamang volume spike, kaya’t nagmukhang simula ng pag-angat. Pero ngayong August 15, bumalik si ARA sa ₱0.49—isang test ng pasensya ng mga nakasampa na.

Ibig sabihin, hindi agad tinuloy ang breakout. Bumalik ulit sa consolidation zone sa ₱0.48–₱0.53. Ang tanong ngayon: hihintayin ba natin ulit ang susunod na buwelo, o cut na agad kung bibigay ang ₱0.48 support?
