Dominant Range Index
Dominant Range Index: BEARISH
Last Price: ₱38.00
Dominant Range: ₱38.00 – ₱38.25
VWAP: ₱38.2018
The dominant range is closer to the intraday low than the intraday high, reinforcing the short-term bearish bias. The volume-weighted average price being higher than the last price indicates that sellers were more aggressive, pushing the price down despite the concentration of trades near ₱38.20. Notably, this price level saw a cross trade by UBS Securities of 401,000 shares around 11:30am, which further concentrated activity and adds insight into intraday liquidity and trader behavior. Overall, the Dominant Range Index suggests the market pressure is weighted toward the downside.
Market Sentiment Index
Market Sentiment Index: BULLISH
10 of 19 participating brokers (52.63%) posted a positive Aggregate Net Amount
14 of 19 participating brokers (73.68%) posted a higher Per-Broker Buying Average than Per-Broker Selling Average
Aggregate Buying Average: ₱38.13038
Aggregate Selling Average: ₱38.17894
7 of 19 participants (36.84%) registered 100% Per-Broker BUYING activity
4 of 19 participants (21.05%) registered 100% Per-Broker SELLING activity
While the Dominant Range Index is bearish, the Market Sentiment Index shows buyers are still active, likely seeing the current price as an opportunity to enter or average down. The aggregate buying is slightly lower than the aggregate selling average, which indicates some resistance to the downward pressure. The high proportion of brokers posting higher Per-Broker Buying Averages shows pockets of bullish conviction, but the dominance of aggressive selling at other prices tempers that optimism. This mixed signal suggests that while buyers are present, the bears currently hold the upper hand in intraday trading.
Consolidated Outlook
CNPF’s short-term trend remains bearish, supported by both the Dominant Range Index and last price action. The Market Sentiment Index shows pockets of buying interest, but the overall downward pressure dominates, especially as today’s high-volume selling could trigger a retest of the immediate support at ₱37.70. Resistance at ₱39.00 remains intact, making any upside limited unless buying pressure significantly increases. Investors should watch for confirmation of either a rebound or further downside before taking new positions.
