Basic Energy Corporation (BSC) Technical Analysis
Basic Energy Corporation (BSC) registered an attempt to regain its position above P1.05, confluent with the 50 percent retracement of the Up Fibonacci. As of closing on the last trading day of January 2021, the immediate support sits at P0.85, confluent with the 61.80 percent retracement of the Up Fibonacci. On the other hand, the resistance stands near P1.05. The next resistance waits near P1.25 just in case BSC will manage to break above the immediate resistance next week.
The volume was far from disappointing last Friday, January 29, 2021, but it would have been better had it printed volume above 100 percent of BSC’s 10-day volume average.
The foreign investors’ participation in trading BSC is not significant whether you look at it on the end-of-day, week-to-date, or month-to-date basis.
One thing that new traders and investors should put into consideration is the “extremely high” level of the erraticity of BSC’s price movement. This risk level shows that irregular towering candlesticks engulfed previous candlesticks, and gaps were registered in the not-so-distant past. I encourage newbies to stick with low- to moderate-risk stocks until such time that you’ve gained enough experience and discipline and built a personal methodology. Low- to moderate-risk stocks are stocks with a 10-day historical volatility score not higher than 50 percent.
Meanwhile, I’m not confident that we can rely on the “strong upward momentum” that you’ll get when you translate the DMI histogram according to the classical way of interpreting the positions of the DMI and ADX lines. For one, the bearish divergence between the MACD and signal lines contradicts what the DMI histogram claims. The bears still have the ball, so to say.
Mind you, the 10SMACD combo of BSC is bearish. This stock needs to regain its position higher than P1.25 for a chance to see a bullish 10SMACD combo. This is not the stock for those who want a stress-free experience in trading.
Trade-Volume Distribution Analysis
Last Price: ₱1.05
Intraday Low: ₱0.9900
Intraday High: ₱1.1600
VWAP: ₱1.0771
Dominant Range: ₱1.05 – ₱1.10
BSC’s Momentum Power Indicator is bearish because the last price is lower than its volume-weighted average price (VWAP). Its dominant range is closer to the intraday low than the intraday high.
By now, you should already know that I only see a confirmed buy signal when the stock’s 10SMACD combo and Momentum Power Indicator are both bullish.

It isn’t easy to get some strands of hope from the True Market Sentiments across three timeframes. The overall True Market Sentiment is neutral. Take a look at the percentage of market participants that registered a 100 percent buying activity on BSC on the EOD, WTD, and MTD timeframes. There’s relatively little interest to acquire and re-acquire BSC shares on a large-scale basis. As you may already know, sentiments change when things change.
Recommendations
Are you planning to do a test-buy on BSC? Postpone it for now. Wait for its 10SMACD combo and Momentum Power Indicator to switch from bearish to bullish. Ask for our latest analysis in our Private Clients Forum at Equilyst Analytics whenever you spot a significant and drastic change in its price and volume. Once it gets a bullish 10SMACD and Momentum Power Indicator, compute your reward-to-risk ratio relative to the prevailing price’s position to the prevailing immediate support and resistance. If you’re satisfied with the ratio, do a test-buy within the dominant range that you’ll see in our latest trade-volume distribution analysis (you need to request for that in our Private Clients Forum).
Do you already have BSC shares? If your trailing stop is intact, you have the option to hold your position or reduce the percentage of risk on your trailing stop. Please do not add more shares yet because it’s likely for the price to continue to move sideways with a bearish bias. Don’t waste your buying power. Peso cost-averaging will do you more harm than good if you’re buying the stock if no technical or fundamental reason makes it a buyable stock.

I like your style when you present and how you explain
Hello, Jaycee. First of all, thank you very much for your free email which is a big help for me. I have been in stocks for a long period of time, and I only play my guts after reading full articles about the company or searching for any good news about the company, and never have time to learn the game. I like your style when you present and how you explain. It’s very thorough and precise, even for a novice like me would easily understand.after reading I don’t go for my gut anymore ? I was hoping to avail of the discount for the whole year that you offered before and never have got a chance to submit my application. Is it still available? Anyway, thanks again.

dito ka na kung hanap mo ay forum na walang troll
Sir pagamit nga nung slogan nating more wins less losses. Tama nga ba sir? Anyway, I’m here to write a testimonial for this service. For the first time, nakapagtry akong magtrade. 7 gains. 1 loss. Hindi na masama para sa isang beginner na tulad ko. Pero hindi mo magagawa yun kung wala ang Stock Signals. Baka 7 losses at 1 win ang mangyayari kung ako lang. Super excited ako sa pwede ko pang marating sa tulong ng Stock Signals. Isa pang maganda sa Stock Signals ay yung forum. Puro chart at data yung usapan. Kung naghahanap ka ng forum na walang troll at matitino ang usapan, sa Stock Signals ka na.
a breath of fresh air
In a frantic world of stock trading, I consider SS a breath of fresh air. I have been trading through COL financial for more than 3yrs and I can say that SS never fails to calm me in my hectic schedule being employed in a demanding job, being a mom of 3 and doing online stock trading too. Most of the times that I tend to be emotionally attached to my top picks SS makes me think of better things to do with them. Thanks, Jaycee and more power to you?
he interacts with his clients in the forum
As an IT professor myself, I know it would be easy for Jaycee to just throw his explanations in the actual stock market lingo. By observing how he interacts with his clients in the forum, you’ll see how he can be technical yet easy to understand all at the same time. I am not active in the forum but I read. He writes in Tagalog seldom but he will when he feels that he has to. I also noticed that he loves to elaborate his answers to make sure you understand how and why he arrived into such conclusion. The forum is only a free add-on to his Stock Signals on top of the access to his Top Stock Picks page, but for 400 bucks a month, the forum alone is more than enough. Kudos to this young man.
Its like I see you face to face with the way you explain things.
