Posts Technical Analysis of selected stocks (1D chart) - Sea, ICBC, Coupang, TSM & Tesla (as of 15May2022)
Before I start, let us not forget that we will need to qualify the business first through reviews of its fundamentals over a good period of time. Its recovery from the ongoing pandemic can give us assurance on the quality of the businesses and the durable competitive advantages that it owns.
Let me look at the macro market as this will affect the technicals.
In mid-March 2022, we identified a death cross (intersection of the Moving Average 50 & 200 lines where the MA 50 cuts MA 200 from above, a usually bearish indicator) using the 1D chart.
From the technical indicators, the 1D chart of the S&P 500 looks to be hitting bottom soon. The Stochastic seems to have bottomed up and a reversal seems to be in place. The MACD indicator shows that the decline has yet to bottom up and there could be more room to go down. Till the reversal in MACD is completed, I prefer prudence and assume the decline could continue despite the reprieve on Friday (13 May 2022).
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS (USING 1D CHARTS) AS OF 15 May 2022
Understanding Golden and Death Cross <extracted from Investopedia website>
The golden cross occurs when a short-term moving average crosses over a major long-term moving average to the upside and is interpreted by analysts and traders as signalling a definitive upward turn in a market. Basically, the short-term average trends up faster than the long-term average, until they cross.
The death cross is the opposite of the golden cross, interpreted by analysts and traders as a downturn in the market.
A golden cross suggests a long-term bull market going forward, while a death cross suggests a long-term bear market. Either crossover is considered more significant when accompanied by high trading volume.
Sea Limited observations:
- A Death Cross was seen in early Jan 2022 and the stock has been in decline since Oct 2021.
- From the EMA, the lines seem to be moving sideways. Once they converge, the reversal is likely confirmed.
- Stochastic - has bottomed up and it is on an upward trend.
- MACD - looks to be bottoming up soon and with its completion, we can consider a potential reversal of the current trend to an upward trend. Do give the stock a couple of days to confirm the reversal. If you wish to be more prudent, I suggest that we look at the 1W chart's MACD instead.
TSM observations:
- A Death Cross was seen after mid-March 2022 and the stock has been in decline since Jan 2022.
- From the EMA, the lines seem to be moving sideways. Once they converge, the reversal is likely confirmed.

Coupang observations:
- A Death Cross was seen after Apr 2022 and the stock has been in decline since Dec 2021 though the March 2022 rally failed to break the downtrend.
- From the EMA, the lines seem to be moving sideways. Once they converge, I will this as a confirmation of the reversal of its current downtrend.

ICBC / 1398.HK observations:

- From the EMA, the lines seem to be moving sideways. Once they converge, the reversal is likely confirmed.
- Stochastic - should bottom-up by the coming week.
- MACD - still on down trend though it seems to be going sideways - potential for reversal. Once the MACD lines have intersected, we can consider a potential reversal of the current trend to an upward trend. Do give the stock a couple of days to confirm the reversal.

- A Death Cross may form pending the coming few days stock movement.
- Stochastic - has bottomed up and it is on an upward trend.
