7.0% and 8.0% this year. The build-up of inflationary
pressures likewise puts some questions on the reasonableness
of the official inflation range 3.5% to 5.5%. As a consequence, interest rates may have to rise sooner than
expected.

THE PSE Index managed to stave off a second successive attempt to break under the 3,700-line. Wednesday's low
reached 3,705.58 and yesterday closed just 0.14 points above the 3,730.70 intra-day low. The market's retreat
brings the index -11.2% on a year-to-date. It has now drawn three successive lower peaks at 4,148.16 (January
17), 3,990.49 (January 27) and 3,866.38 (February 17.) Off the all-time peak of 4,397.30 last November 4, 2010,
the losses amount to -15.16%! Critical points are now drawn at 3,990-95 (38.2% upside recovery line) and at
3,640 (a -20% retreat off the November peak.) This translates to an upside of 7.0% versus a downside of -2.4
percent. This trade-off will seem fair enough to merit a MEDIUM- to LONG-TERM BUY proposition. However,
commonly tracked technical indicators suggests otherwise, favoring a further slide. As we shall present towards
the end, these are not entirely contradictory. The “secret” lies on the timeline.

The most recent rise of the STO(10,6,6) above the trigger line,
simultaneous with its emergence from oversold territory,
translated to a “mere” 2.0% rise in the index. By the end of
yesterday's session, STO has dropped for three days and has, in
fact, marginally moved under the trigger line, a SELL signal.
The weekly chart moves deeper into oversold territory even as
the slope remains steep. Meanwhile, the monthly STO chart shows
its first move under the 80 overbought line in 16-weeks. None
of these suggests, or at least lends encouragement for a
sustained near-term rise.

MACD (12,26,9) presents much the same picture. The


MACD is substantially below the zero-line with the
MACD line poised to break under the signal line,
supplanting the SELL signal posited earlier by STO.
On a weekly basis, the picture is no different. The
negative spread continues to widen and there is yet no
signs of a possible dissipation of the negative
pressure. The same can be said using the monthly
perspective.

Furthermore, none of the volume/value indicators show


a decisive shift to accumulation.

THE main index has fallen below all period Weighted Moving Averages (WMA) as show above an it continues to draw a
negative trend. One silver lining amid all these pessimistic picture is that value turn-over has consistently
thinned over the recent sessions. This could be an initial sign that the selling pressure is drying up.

Given all these evidences, we are inclined to stay at the sidelines and wait for more convincing signals to
support a buying recommendation. At the moment, all these taken together increases the likelihood that the index
may test the -20% mark at 3,640. Our general stance would be to SELL on rallies.
