The market survived the NFP data! Just like students who just finished their final exams, it’s time to let loose and go wild. Tomorrow, let the momentum run for a bit—we’re highly likely breaking new highs. Grab your popcorn 🍿: 5250 or 5300? Do you have the diamond hands to hold tight?

Now the STI market really make people blur (confused). Fly past 5200 then drop back down, standard pattern lor. DBS and OCBC daily chart look a bit scary with that top divergence, but weekly chart and the big index still steady pom pi pi. 5120 dip possible？

Market pullback today sia. 📉 Heng ah, didn’t kena hammered too bad, still can breathe. Looks like STI is chiong-ing straight towards the next moving average liao.

If market give face and bounce up a bit later, I think time to chop some profit and trim positions first. Don‘t want to play hero. Safe play first, bro!

The dividend season for the three major banks doesn't actually start until early August. Before that, we still have to go through the mysterious statements from the Fed. As expected, it probably won't be good news, trimming. I boldly predict the first half of July won't be optimistic.

Warsh is now an important variable in the market. The market is inevitably experiencing early growing pains. Warsh says the market needs to learn to walk on its own, but the market is now taking one step forward and three steps back, like climbing Mount Everest without an oxygen tank. Although it might not be taking medicine, the timing could be very cruel.

Current level a bit neither here nor there leh. Personally, I think better play safe. OCBC and DBS both showing daily top divergence liao, but the weekly chart and index still quite healthy lah. So my stance is: hold carefully, but trim a bit position first. Just hope world peace and less market drama can or not?

back exactly as expected. Honestly, with all the external headwinds out there, this feels like a perfectly healthy technical correction. The uptrend remains solid, and I’m just waiting for the right entry point to buy the dip.

That said, to hedge against the risk of misjudging the market timing, I’ve picked up some Singtel—a solid defensive play that doesn’t really need a technical pullback anyway. 🛡️

Today, the Singapore market completely shrugged off the Fed’s hawkish rhetoric and made a powerful move straight past 5200! 🚀 Here’s hoping this breakout flies higher and further. At this point, my strategy is to sit on my hands and do absolutely nothing—except making this post.

I think an interest rate hike is highly likely unavoidable; the key is when and for how long it will last.

Generally, inflation rises slowly; it's the fourth month now, and the tenth month or even longer is expected to be more dangerous.

spacx I think the current stock price is in a high volatility zone; I won't include it in my investment portfolio. If I must include it, it would be through an index.

US Market meets the Fed at a bar. 🥂

US Market: ” Bottoms up! First drink‘s on me!“

The Fed: ” Take it easy... you do you

Last night, US stocks did their routine pre-FOMC dip just to show some ” respect“ ahead of the Fed meeting. Meanwhile, Singapore completely ignored the memo. Barring any unexpected hawkish wildcards, breaking 5200 looks like a done deal this time. The million-dollar question now is: at what level will the next pullback hit? 🤔

@Bridge Buzz SG

Washi will likely respond to changes by staying the course, but will advocate for some operational changes. This is the safest kind of change, as it won't touch interest rates. Reducing intervention is his main theme. In the short term, the market will interpret any change as an increase in risk, but in the long term it might be a good thing.

Today’s market showed real conviction. Singapore is steadily grinding out a healthy, slow bull run. Looking across major global markets, my personal take is that this year‘s rallies in the US, Taiwan, and South Korea feel somewhat anxious—fueled by a stressful mix of greed and fear. It always leaves you with that ultimate dilemma: FOMO if you don’t buy, but terrified of buying the top if you do. It’s a total contrast to the Singapore market, which actually feels like a healthy, organic rise.

@Bridge Buzz SG

Singapore’s market is offering a terrible bet right now. STI sits at 5025，aproaching MA10，20.

Meanwhile, GDP forecasts got slashed (3.9% Q2 vs 4.5%

prior forcast), inflation revised UP to 2.3%. Three consecutive losing days, weak level since May 12. The math says wait.

The big money is not in the buying and selling, but in the waiting. So do my small money.

Patient is my theme in June.@Bridge Buzz SG

Today was a hard-fought crawl back to the previous 5020 platform. Given how wildly volatile global markets have been this week, the STI actually did quite well. Can‘t ask for too much.

What really caught me by surprise, though, was CapitaLand‘s commercial real estate/REITs. If the market is panicking over Fed rate hikes, why on earth are properties rallying while banks are dropping? 🧐

@Bridge Buzz SG

Not too worried about the current STI correction, but June is looking incredibly shaky. I feel like declining liquidity, Fed uncertainty, and the gravitational pull of a technical pullback will likely spark a major sell-off in the US AI sector. If that happens, other Asian markets—particularly South Korea and Taiwan—will inevitably follow. How much can the STI actually hold its ground? I’m playing it safe and staying on the sidelines for now.

@Bridge Buzz SG

Gotta admit, I was a bit too optimistic. Last night, US markets panicked over rate hike fears again. Next week, the STI might test the 5200 level / 20-day moving average.

To buy the dip or not to buy, that is the question. 🤔

My take? Rate hikes aren‘t necessarily bad news for Singapore as a global financial hub. If anything, we might get a golden opportunity to scoop up some REITs at rock-bottom prices! 📉💎

@Bridge Buzz SG

Today was a total disaster. A massive sucker punch to the face! Who did it? Was it the US and Iran teaming up, or was it some crooked market makers pulling a dirty trick? Nobody knows. But I believe it’s the US and Iran. I really do. Why? Because Singapore banks are hundreds of billions now! A few market makers can’t move them. They have no such power? I bought the dip.That‘s my honest response. Are these two Yuan Jia forcing me to swing trade with them?

I originally wanted to go all in on OCBC and DBS, but let’s be real—even the best banking stonks hit a P/E ceiling eventually. So I’m allocating some into ES3. For the long haul, I’m leaning towards G3b because the logic is simple: lower expense ratios mean I theoretically scoop up an extra 0.8% a year. But honestly, with the current macro, doing absolutely nothing is the best play. Just sitting tight and waiting for the market to blast past 5200. Am I huffing too much hopium, or is that a pretty modest ambition?

Took a beating for a few days, but finally eating good today! Even though the STI is gathering steam to break through the 5,100 psychological barrier, OCBC has seen five straight days of net capital outflows. Still, it feels a bit safer compared to DBS. I’m cautiously bullish—what’s your take?

@Bridge Buzz SG

The market just charged me some heavy tuition to teach me what options trading really is. Forget all that official ’hedging‘ nonsense—for us retail traders, and we’re just intellectually gambling. Yesterday, I was up over 40% during that first 30-minute pump, but greed got the best of me and I diamond-handed it. Lesson learned: options melt faster than ice cream because Theta Gang always wins. Your only real window to survive is the first 30 minutes after the opening bell.

The stock market is the ultimate toxic relationship. Yesterday, I got absolutely slapped; today, I’m eating steak.

I had a perfect plan: strictly buy along the 5-day moving average. Simple, disciplined, foolproof. But yesterday, the market decided to dive-bomb straight to the 10-day line, completely shattering my trading discipline (and my sanity).
