Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) Technical Analysis
The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) is still down by 5.90 percent year-to-date from its 2019 year-end closing price of ₱87.90. BPI closed at ₱83.00 on November 16, 2020, up by 1.59 percent. Even though it’s down year-to-date, it’s been trading above its 10-day simple moving average (SMA) since October 30, 2020.
Monday’s total turnover value (TTV) reached ₱482.50 million. However, the foreign investors did not give significant buying support since they registered a net foreign selling worth ₱80.60 million. Foreign investors are net sellers year-to-date. This event is not good news for long-term investors. BPI is an index or a blue-chip company. Foreign investors go heavy on blue-chips. Unfortunately, they’ve gone heavy in terms of selling on BPI.
On the other hand, I see no volume-related concern on BPI since its daily volume is always higher than the 50 percent of its 10-day volume average.
Meanwhile, BPI maintains its low-risk level because it has a 10-day historical volatility score of 42 percent. By risk level, I’m referring to the price fluctuation over the past 10 trading days. In other words, BPI does not fluctuate erratically relative to its previous 10-day average historical volatility.
BPI is bullish in the short-term because it’s trading higher than its 10-day SMA, and its MACD is moving above its signal line. The strength of its upward momentum seems strong since its +DMI is still moving above the -DMI and its ADX is higher than 25 points.
BPI’s immediate support sits near ₱78.00, while its immediate resistance is near ₱87.00.
Trade-Volume Distribution Analysis
Last Price: ₱83.00
Intraday Low: ₱79.50
Intraday High: ₱84.00
VWAP: ₱81.12
Dominant Range: ₱83.00 – ₱83.00
BPI’s Momentum Power Indicator is also bullish. The last price is higher than its volume-weighted average price. Also, its dominant price is closer to the intraday high than its intraday low.
Should BPI starts at a price lower than ₱83.00 by the next trading day, watch out for the secondary dominant range between ₱79.95 and ₱80.20. Nonetheless, this dominant range is subject to change. It’s best to ask for our latest trade-volume distribution analysis in our Private Clients Forum if you’re one of our clients.

The foreign investors’ anemic appetite to buy BPI reflects on the topsy-turvy True Market Sentiment across two timeframes. This True Market Sentiment will guide you on your next investment decision depending on your risk tolerance. In the Recommendations part of this write-up, I’ll tell you how you can incorporate the True Market Sentiment in your decision.
Recommendations
Suppose you’re a low-risk investor and your trailing stop is intact. Despite the appearance of a confirmed buy signal (bullish 10SMACD and Momentum Power Indicator), you have the option to hold your position since the True Market Sentiment of two timeframes is bearish. If you choose to do that, please ensure that you continue to do an upward adjustment on your trailing stop every time the stock registers a price higher than the base price you used in the most recent recalculation of your trailing stop.
I know that this recommendation can sound a lot, especially if you haven’t watched the online stock market course I’ve recorded. I have a proprietary methodology explained in Taglish and English in our online stock market course at Equilyst Analytics, which is exclusively available for our clients only.
On the other hand, you may buy in tranches if you are a high-risk investor or trader since there’s a confirmed buy signal, anyway.
Now, what if you don’t have a position on BPI yet? If that’s your case, you may also consider the same recommendation for those who already have it.
Remember to ask for our latest analysis and recommendation in our Private Clients Forum as trading happens so we can guide you. By the way, since BPI is an index stock, we automatically push updates for this stock in our Investment Guide for Long-term Investors twice a day. You’ll see our latest analysis and recommendation in that table, together with the 29 other blue-chip or index stocks.

I'm amazed
Thank you for explaining what seems to be something complicated to something understandable. This will help me in my decision now. I’m amazed too that in spite your busy schedule you treat each one here as if we hired a personal mentor to coach us all the way. I guess you can tick that on your list as you are very true to what you committed to before I joined Stocks Signal. Thank you and I’m picking up your philosophy bit by bit.
Thankful that I subscribed to Sir Jaycee
Thankful that I subscribed to Sir Jaycee. Since I don’t have to time to study technical terms, I like the way he writes his EOD remark for top stock picks. 400 pesos a month is so cheap for a service like this. Thank you sir!
helps me become an intelligent trader and investor
I remember the first I joined stock investing I also joined the Truly Rich Club to assist me, with the knowledge I must need. But sad to say, it didn’t help me at all. I’m glad I came across seeing links and articles of Stock Signals. In my personal assessment with the free articles I am receiving via email, I am sure of myself that this is the help and knowledge or mentoring I am looking for. I want to become an intelligent trader and investor soon with the help of Stock Signals. Thank God I got to know you, Stock Signals. More Power and God bless!
I like your program the most
Jaycee,
I never heard your name so I was hesitant to subscribe to your program. To test your Stock Signals Program, I have subscribed for 6 months. When I checked your system on day 1, I realized I was the greater fool for not subscribing to you a long time ago. Been to TRC, been to PinoyInvestor, been to various paid FB Groups, but I like your program the most. Keep up the good work. I owe you an apology for doubting you at first.

Thank you for sharing your analysis to the public. I really appreciate the time you spent on this article. It is very helpful and gave me a new perspective on available opportunities in the stock market. Mabuhay kayo sir
happy with my portfolio because of your guidance
Sir Jaycee,
I’ve been following your stock analysis posts since last year. I must say that my 1 year subscription to your program has been long overdue. I’m so happy seeing my portfolio because of your guidance. Had I subscribed to your Stock Signals Program last year, I would have been happier. Sayang. Naging kawalan ko pa yung patumpik-tumpik kong decision on whether I subscribe or not. I was subscribed to Truly Rich Club kasi nun. Your program is way way way better yet cheaper than the TRC of Bro Bo Sanchez. Sir, you’ve just won a loyal client in me. Thank you. God bless.
Cordially,
Randz
he helped me recover from my -30% loss last year
I subscribed to Mr. De Guzman’s Stock Signals Program last year. I am happy with his service. He delivers more than what I am paying for. He is responsive to my emails even if he has hundreds of clients to attend. Not only did he help me recover from my -30% loss last year, he has also helped me grow my stock portfolio by more than 20% this April. Mr. De Guzman should have offered his service a long time ago. Where have you been all those years, Mr. De Guzman? I’m only kidding. You know how thankful I am to you. Again thank you so much.
