ICT Weekly Chart as of August 15, 2025 showing rally continuation above ₱480 with MA alignment bullish.

Weekly candlestick chart of ICT with moving averages and key support-resistance levels.

Panimula: Pagkatapos ng Konsolidasyon, May Buwelo na

Matagal ding nag-ipon ng lakas ang ICT mula sa sideways galaw nitong unang bahagi ng taon. Pero nitong mga nakaraang linggo, tuloy-tuloy ang akyat at lumampas na sa ₱480 area, na dati’y naging mahigpit na resistance.

Wala tayong naunang review para sa ICT dito sa Subok Series, kaya ngayon ay magandang pagkakataon na balikan at suriin ito gamit ang Hybrid 10-Step Strategy. Tanong ngayon: may espasyo pa ba sa rally, o maghihintay muna tayo ng panibagong setup bago pumasok?

3️⃣ Hatol ng Batangueñong Trader

Parang barkong nagsimula nang umusad matapos ang mahabang paghinto sa pier. Kung may hawak ka na, hawakan pa. Pero kung sasakay ka pa lang, mas maigi maghintay ng tamang baybayin ng presyo bago pumasok.

4️⃣ Next Steps (Tactical Plan)

📌 Entry Price Ranges: ₱460–₱470 (best re-entry zone)
📌 Stop-Loss Level: ₱450 (structure break)
📌 Target Prices: ₱500 (short-term), ₱520–₱550 (medium-term)
📌 Add/Trim Plan: Trim at ₱500; re-add if retest holds ₱460 with bounce.
📌 Position Strategy: Start with moderate size (10 shares minimum = ₱4,810), add on breakout continuation.

5️⃣ Updated Layered Accumulation Plan (₱50,000 Allocation)

Layer 1 – ₱470: 10 shares = ₱4,700 (Test Buy)
Layer 2 – ₱460: 20 shares = ₱9,200 (Confirmation Buy)
Layer 3 – ₱450: 30 shares = ₱13,500 (Core Build-up)
Layer 4 – ₱430: 40 shares = ₱17,200 (Aggressive Add)

✅ Total Committed Capital: ₱44,600
💸 Remaining Cash Buffer: ₱5,400 (11%)

6️⃣ Updated Phased Exit Plan

Exit 1 – ₱500: 20 shares (take profit at round number resistance)
Exit 2 – ₱520: 20 shares (partial trim, lock gains)
Exit 3 – ₱550: 30 shares (major profit take)
Exit 4 – Trail Stop: last 30 shares, ride trend until reversal

⚠️ Always respect hard stop below ₱450.

7️⃣ Final Trade Recommendation

Final Trade Recommendation: BUY / WAIT FOR DIP
✅ Recommendation: Enter at ₱460–₱470 range or add on confirmed breakout above ₱500.
✅ Risk Management: Hard stop below ₱450 to protect capital.
✅ Profit-Taking Strategy: Scale out at ₱500, ₱520, ₱550.
✅ Position Size Strategy: Start moderate, add only if trend confirms.

8️⃣ Closing Reflection

Sa paglalayag ng isang barko, mahalaga ang tamang timpla ng pasensya at disiplina. Hindi lahat ng biyahe ay para sumakay agad. Minsan, hintayin munang dumaong sa tamang pantalan bago tumalon.
