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.

Many Filipinos should discover your Online Stock Market Courses.
Stock Signals Philippines, you should start advertising your product on TV! Many Filipinos should discover your Online Stock Market Courses. The Philippine Stock Exchange must consider working with you in spreading financial literacy, specifically stock investing, in the Philippines. There are many e-books online that can teach you concepts and stories about the stock market. The problem is that a vast majority of them do not talk about Philippine equities.
I’m going to recommend you to my friends.
it's created for the Filipinos, by the Filipinos
What I like the most about the Online Stock Market Courses of the Stock Signals Philippines is that it’s cut for the Filipino traders and investors. They use Philippine companies to demonstrate an idea. They chart Philippine stocks. Indeed, it’s created for the Filipinos, by the Filipinos. You should try this.
This is what I need!
I’ve been investing in the stock market for 3 years. I do long-term investing. I don’t do short-term trading because I have little to zero knowledge about technical analysis. My friend, who’s also a customer of Stock Signals Philippines, referred me to their Online Stock Market Courses. I liked the outline so I bought this product. I liked it even more when I got the chance to watch the videos. This is what I need! Thanks, Stock Signals Philippines!
I'm happy that you created this wonderful product
When I first read that the Stock Signals Philippines offers stock market courses, I thought I had to enroll myself in and be online on timed schedules. Thankfully I read further. I learned that I can learn at my own pace and schedule. I’m happy that you created this wonderful product that I can listen to while I am stuck in traffic. I would recommend this service to my workmates. Cheers!
Thank u jaycee for sending your analysis.
Thank u jaycee for sending your analysis.
I've learned a lot more
If you need someone to guide you, Jaycee is definitely the one you should go to. He is not only very knowledgeable but kind as well. Together, he can help you with a personalized strategy based on what you have and at the prices you’ve bought them at. I am very thankful for his guidance and advice and feel that I learned a lot more since.
"The" Jaycee is the real deal
I knew Jaycee back in college, or, rather, we knew Jaycee back in college. Everyone on the campus knew this guy. Who wouldn’t? He was bringing a 6-inch thick encyclopedia in his bag and a 6-inch thick dictionary on one hand. He was the only student I knew who studied his subjects a semester in advance all by himself. Whew! I’m having a headache with the thought of it. Haha LOL. I was searching for an analysis for my PCOR a month ago when I was taken to his website. The moment I recognized him, no questions asked, I signed up. “The” Jaycee is the real deal. His Stock Signals is a big help for me and my brother. Thanks, Jaycee!!
very helpful
Your blogs are very helpful to digest the info the market has provided that make my next decision to be more reliable.keep up the good work sir and GOD bless us all!
my long term stock investing experience a lot easier
Jaycee’s Stock Signals has made my long-term stock investing experience a lot easier than doing it on my own. I now have more hours for my business. More power!
intelligent yet humble
Honestly, I doubted nearly-perfect customer reviews. I was doubting but wanting to subscribe at the same time, actually. I subscribed for 3 months. When I read the newsletters of Sir Jaycee and the responses of my fellow subscribers in the private forum, I realized that Sir Jaycee has more unpublished glowing reviews than what he has on the testimonials page of his website. What an intelligent yet humble man. I’ve extended my subscription for 12 more months. Now I know I’m doing long-term investing the right way. This is the best service ever!
