SCC Morning Session Chart Analysis – January 24, 2025



Hybrid 10-Step Trading Strategy Review

Step 1: Identify Market State & Trend Context

SCC is currently in an uptrend, with price action above both the 20-day MA (₱35.02) and 200-day MA (₱32.99). The recent price action suggests a multi-bar strength move, indicating bullish sentiment.

Step 2: Assess Price Position Relative to Key Levels

  • Price is trading above both moving averages, confirming an established uptrend.
  • The 20-MA has a positive slope, reinforcing short-term strength.
  • The 200-MA serves as a strong support, indicating a long-term bullish bias.

Step 3: Power Bars & Retracement Strength

  • The stock has consistently formed green power bars, showing strong buying momentum.
  • No major retracement has occurred, with price holding near recent highs.
  • No immediate signs of exhaustion, supporting a continuation bias.

Step 4: Entry Confirmation Based on Retracement Levels

  • Since price has not retraced significantly from its rally, an entry at this level might be considered late.
  • Ideal entries should be on a pullback to the 33%-50% retracement zones, which is currently not present.

Step 5: Tactical Stop-Loss Adjustments

  • If entering now, a tight stop-loss should be placed just below the 20-MA (₱35.02) to minimize risk.
  • A more conservative stop would be below ₱34.50, aligning with a minor support area.

Step 6: Color Change as a Secondary Confirmation

  • No red candles near key support levels, meaning no immediate reversal signals.
  • Price remains above the retracement zones, so there’s no need to be overly cautious yet.

Step 7: Profit-Taking Aligned with Retracement Targets

  • Partial profit-taking can be planned near ₱37.00-₱38.00, aligning with resistance zones.
  • If price retraces back to ₱35.00, it may offer a re-entry opportunity.

Step 8: Re-Entry at Secondary Retracement Pullbacks

  • Given the strong rally, an ideal re-entry zone would be around ₱34.50-₱35.00 if price pulls back.

Step 9: Tactical Position Management

  • Larger positions can be taken if price pulls back to a 33%-50% retracement zone.
  • If price extends beyond ₱37.00, a trailing stop should be considered.

Step 10: Counter-Trend Trades Only When Retracement Fails

  • No counter-trend trades are advisable, as the trend remains intact.

Final Trade Assessment

  • SCC is showing strong bullish momentum, with price making higher highs.
  • Immediate entry may not be optimal as price has already extended.
  • Better entries should be on a pullback towards the 20-MA.
  • Profit-taking should be considered near ₱37.00-₱38.00.

Next Steps

  • Wait for a pullback before adding positions.
  • Monitor resistance levels for potential reversal signals.
  • If price breaks ₱37.00 with strong volume, consider holding for further upside.

Live Testing Status of Micro Stock Trader Strategy – Evaluating Three Key Trades.



Summary of the Three Trades

1. RL Commercial REIT (RCR) – Trade No. 1

  • Action: Buy

  • Entry Type: Anticipatory Entry

  • Entry Price: 6.00

  • Shares Bought: 200

  • Position Size: Final 20% of RCR trading shares acquired, completing the RCR portfolio allocation.

  • Entry Signal: Bullish Pin Bar

  • Trade Rating: 7.5/10

  • Current Status: Holding

Key Observations:

  • Entry at retracement support (5.89-5.94) aligned well with our strategy.

  • No strong green power bar confirmation, making the trade speculative.

  • Overhead resistance at 6.09-6.15 remains a challenge.

Trade Verdict: Cautiously optimistic. This trade holds potential for an upward move but needs stronger confirmation in upcoming sessions.


2. DDMP REIT (DDMPR) – Trade No. 2

  • Action: Buy

  • Entry Type: Anticipatory Entry

  • Entry Price: 1.06

  • Shares Bought: 3,000

  • Position Size: 50% of DDMPR allocation

  • Entry Signal: Green Bar

  • Trade Rating: 7/10

  • Current Status: Holding

Key Observations:

  • Entry aligned with 50% retracement support at 1.06.

  • Volume remains low, raising concerns about buyer strength.

  • Resistance at 1.08-1.10 (200-MA) could limit upside momentum.

Trade Verdict: Neutral. This trade could go either way; an increase in volume would enhance the trade’s potential.


3. Universal Robina Corporation (URC) – Trade No. 3

  • Action: Buy

  • Entry Type: Anticipatory Entry

  • Entry Price: 66.85

  • Shares Bought: 50

  • Position Size: Final 50% of URC trading shares acquired, completing the URC portfolio allocation.

  • Entry Signal: Green Tail Bar

  • Trade Rating: 7/10

  • Current Status: Holding

Key Observations:

  • The entry was positioned at a key retracement zone (67.00 support).

  • Low volume and strong previous red bars raise concerns.

  • Resistance at 69.60-71.50 makes this trade highly dependent on momentum.

Trade Verdict: Cautiously bullish. URC needs to confirm the reversal with a strong bullish close above resistance.


Overall Market & Strategy Assessment

1. Market Environment on January 24, 2025

  • Market sentiment was mixed, with select stocks attempting reversals while others remained weak.

  • Our trades were mostly anticipatory, requiring confirmation in the next few sessions.

  • Volume remains a concern, signaling cautious participation from institutional traders.

2. Lessons from Our Trades

1. Importance of Stronger Confirmations

  • While our retracement-based entries were strategically sound, we lacked strong green power bar confirmations in all three trades.

  • Future trades should emphasize confirmation signals, even if it means missing a slightly lower entry price.

2. Monitoring Resistance Zones Closely

  • RCR, DDMPR, and URC all face immediate resistance zones.

  • If price action struggles to break through, profit-taking or stop-loss adjustments should be made accordingly.

3. Risk Management Remains Key

  • Our stop-loss levels are well-placed, minimizing downside risk.

  • Portfolio allocation remains balanced, ensuring we are not overexposed to any single stock.


Next Steps in Our Live Testing

  1. Monitor Trade Confirmations: Look for strong bullish closes with volume in the next few sessions.

  2. Adjust Stop-Losses as Needed: If price stagnates or breaks support, we should exit to minimize losses.

  3. Refine Entry Strategies: Consider entering trades only on confirmation of power bars, even if it means waiting.

  4. Evaluate Market Sentiment: Broader market trends will influence whether these trades succeed or need to be exited.


Conclusion

The three trades executed on January 23, 2025, provide valuable insights into the ongoing development of our Micro Stock Trader Trading Strategy. While the entries were strategically placed within retracement structures, they lack immediate confirmation, making them speculative in nature. As we progress, refining our entry validation process and enhancing risk management will be key to optimizing our strategy. The coming days will determine whether these trades validate our evolving approach or highlight areas for further refinement.

Stock Evaluations Using the Hybrid 10-Step Trading Strategy

1. URC (Universal Robina Corporation) – Bearish Continuation with No Clear Reversal Yet

Market State & Trend Context (Step 1)

URC remains in a strong downtrend, consistently making lower highs and lower lows.

  • The 200-day moving average (97.59) is trending downward, confirming long-term bearish sentiment.
  • The 20-day moving average (74.90) is also declining, acting as dynamic resistance.
  • URC closed at 64.50, significantly below both moving averages, reinforcing continued weakness.

Position, Location & Key Retracement Zones (Step 2)

  • Major resistance is at 75.00, near the 20-MA rejection zone.
  • Immediate support at 64.00 - 60.00 remains key for potential stabilization.
  • A break below 64.00 could open the door for further downside toward 58.00 - 60.00.

Power Bars & Retracement Strength (Step 3)

  • Recent red power bars with increasing volume suggest strong selling pressure.
  • No green power bars have emerged, meaning buyers are not stepping in aggressively yet.

Buy and Sell Signals We Are Looking for Today (January 23, 2025)

  • Buy Signal: A green power bar closing above 66.00 with volume could indicate a potential short-term reversal.
  • Sell Signal: A break below 64.00 would confirm continued bearish momentum.

Risk Management

  • Stop-Loss Level: 60.00, ensuring risk control if the decline continues.
  • Partial Profit-Taking Level: 70.00 - 72.00, where resistance may emerge.

👉 Verdict: No trade setup yet. We need confirmation of a reversal before considering a long trade.


2. MONDE (Monde Nissin Corporation) – Signs of Stabilization, but Not Ready for a Long Entry

Market State & Trend Context (Step 1)

MONDE is still in a downtrend, though it is showing early signs of stabilization above 7.00.

  • 20-MA (7.72) is a key resistance level to break before a bullish move can be confirmed.
  • 7.00 is acting as strong support, with buyers attempting to defend this level.

Buy and Sell Signals We Are Looking for Today (January 23, 2025)

  • Buy Signal: A break above 7.50 with volume, indicating bullish momentum toward 7.72 - 8.00.
  • Sell Signal: A failure to break 7.50, or a red power bar near this level, could lead to a retest of 7.00 - 6.80.

Risk Management

  • Stop-Loss Level: 6.90, protecting against downside risks.
  • Partial Profit-Taking Level: 7.80 - 8.00, aligning with resistance.

👉 Verdict: No trade yet. We need a strong breakout above 7.50.

Buy and Sell Signals We Are Looking for Today (January 23, 2025)

  • Buy Signal: A break above 6.00 with volume, confirming a bullish breakout.
  • Sell Signal: A failure to hold above 5.88, leading to a potential pullback.

Risk Management

  • Stop-Loss Level: 5.85, protecting against a breakdown.
  • Partial Profit-Taking Level: 6.10 - 6.20, where sellers may emerge.

👉 Verdict: Closest to a trade setup, but needs confirmation of breakout.


Final Thoughts – Are We Entering Our First Trade Today?

Based on today’s evaluation, RCR is the closest stock to providing a potential buy setup, but we need to see a breakout above 6.00 with strong volume before entering.

For URC, MONDE, ALLHC, and DDMPR, none of them currently offer a strong enough setup to justify a trade. We remain on standby, ensuring we only take high-probability trades that align with our Hybrid 10-Step Trading Strategy.

Key Takeaways for January 23, 2025

Stay patient – No forced trades!

Monitor RCR closely for a potential breakout.

Wait for green power bars and strong volume before entering trades.

Stick to our stop-loss and profit-taking strategy.

🚀 The goal remains the same: Secure our first trade under Phase 2 – but only when conditions align!
