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!
Singapore
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!
SINGAPORE COVID-19 Wave 3 Projection Update IIToday's hot news was that Wave 3 is upon us and appears to be bigger than initially anticipated. So, relooked at the charts... charts that had predicted the Wave 2 spike in COVID-19 cases in SG in November 2020, which appeared in January 2021. (See attached links to related ideas below) And again on 5th March 2021, which gave heads up on a clear and present spike in weeks to come.
Basically, I have a custom Fibonacci-ed MACD that I use for technical analyses, and I applied it to the COVID confirmed cases. These numbers only increase, so I was analyzing the moving average trends, and realized that the convergence divergence model could be used to give heads up on increasing numbers. So far, 2 out of 2 waves projected about 6-8 weeks in advance. That's a 100% hit rate that would have given critical time for action.
Looking at the daily chart on the left panel, where the rising MACD histograms project a spike. And once the histograms cross over above zero, within weeks we will see the spike in the reported numbers. What appears worse is when the MACD crosses over. As seen from early April 2021.
Now, using the same model, I apply to the weekly chart of SG COVID-19 cases, and it shows that this Wave 3 spike was underestimated previously. I might have underestimated this Wave 3 .
The MACD histogram is about to cross over zero, and the MACD itself is also crossing up.
Ominous projection? Yes, and I would give this some serious thought as a heads up mechanism to start t hinking ahead of the (virus) curve instead. Because, the current wave might just spiral out over the next couple of months.
*remember, any wave starts, needs at least a month to settle down due to the epidemiologic curves.
Singapore COVID-19 Wave 3 UpdateSo... Technical analysis is not the orthodox tool for Pandemic infection monitoring, BUT it appears that IF we can look beyond the box, we can see more, and get ahead of the curve a little more.
This is the SECOND time the Singapore COVID-19 charts are giving us about 6-8 weeks heads up of an imminent spike in COVID-19 cases.
Much could have been done IF we looked closer and took appropriate actions.
Last post on this matter, on 5th March, it was clear and present danger that a 3rd wave spike was to happen in April... and now, we are in the onset of a spike in cases in Singapore.
It should be about another 8 weeks before things we under control...
This is NOT chance, but high probability (though unusual) projection of the dynamics.
You see, the RPM in the middle panel shows that it is not as powerful a run up this time (as previously expected); and the MACD histograms correctly warned of this imminent spike, now indicating that it is probably nearing a peak out.
This predictive model also works for other countries. So it is robust.
Till next time, stay safe and stay healthy!
PS... see related ideas below for the historical tracking
Midterm Bullish on SingtelMidterm bullish on Singtel. Looks like an under and over on weekly. Reclaimed range low and it looks like it wants to tag range high.
Here are the bullish scenarios:
1) Tag and reclaim range high and move higher.
2) Tag range high, reject and range. (Most likely scenario)
There is a bearish scenario where price loses range low again and go lower. So far looks low probability.
