BDO Unibank (BDO) Technical Analysis
BDO Unibank, Inc. closed on Wednesday, November 4, 2020, at ₱90.50 per share, up by 0.56 percent. Are you wondering why the last candlestick’s red even if the price went up by 0.56 percent? It’s because BDO’s closing price of ₱90.50 is lower than its opening price of ₱91.00.
The total turnover value reached ₱374.50 million. The local investors were still the main mover of the price, which is not normal for an index or a blue-chip company. This phenomenon shouldn’t surprise us because the foreign investors’ participation in the entire Philippine Stock Exchange Index (PSEi) is only 35 percent today. As I mentioned in my previous posts, the normal range of foreign investors’ participation is between 55 to 65 percent. Of course, we should expect this below-normal participation of the foreign investors to manifest in their participation among individual blue-chip stocks.
Today’s the 6th consecutive day of Net Foreign Selling if we are to consider October 28, 2020 as a Net Foreign Selling day. The foreign investors are net sellers year-to-date.
BDO’s immediate support sits near ₱85.00, while its immediate resistance is near ₱97.00. It’s been almost four months that BDO’s price has been moving sideways within this range.
Furthermore, BDO is still moving below the 10-day simple moving average (SMA). This automatically makes my 10SMACD combo bearish, which, in turn, makes the confirmed buy signal absent for this banking company, as far as Equilyst Analytics’ methodology is concerned.
What makes its 10SMACD all the more bearish is the MACD line moving below the signal line. I do not see a formation of a bullish convergence between the MACD line and the signal line, by the way. The price is more likely to continue moving sideways with a bearish bias.
On the other hand, BDO remains a low-risk stock due to its 10-day historical volatility score of nearly 41 percent. This low-risk level means its price does not fluctuate erratically as far as its 10-day average Day Change is concerned.
Let’s take a look at BDO’s directional movement index (DMI). While BDO’s +DMI is hovering the -DMI, this is not yet a confirmed strong upward momentum because its average directional index (ADX) is still below 25 points. This ADX score is more likely to touch the 25-point level once the price breaks above the resistance near ₱97.00.
Trade-Volume Distribution Analysis
Last Price: ₱90.50
Intraday Low: ₱90.20
Intraday High: ₱91.15
VWAP: ₱90.73
Dominant Range: ₱90.50 – ₱91.00
Momentum Power Indicator: Bearish
It’s not enough that the dominant range between ₱90.50 and ₱91.00 is closer to the intraday high than the intraday low. The three other elements of BDO’s Momentum Power Indicator must be bullish. Unfortunately, the last price of ₱90.50 is lower than the volume-weighted average price of ₱90.73, the last candlestick is red, and the last volume bar is red, too.
As a result, the overall Momentum Power Indicator of BDO is bearish. There are two reasons why there is no confirmed buy signal for BDO. Firstly, its 10SMACD combo is bearish. Secondly, its Momentum Power Indicator is bearish. I’m not saying that the price will surely go deeper. I’m saying the price is more likely to move sideways with a bearish bias. Our topic is about probabilities and not certainties.

The True Market Sentiment of BDO across three timeframes (end-of-day, week-to-date, month-to-date) seconds the motion on my forecast that the price is more likely to continue moving sideways with a bearish bias. This consistent neutral True Market Sentiment across three timeframes is a strong sign of indecision among this banking company’s top 10 participants. When the situation is like this, I imagine that the deep-pocketed top 10 participants are eaves-dropping on each others’ movements.
So, if we, retail traders, have pockets that are nowhere near the depth of these big players’ pockets, it’s all the more that we should be more prudent, cautious, conservative, and patient with our next step, especially if you are a low-risk or a new investor.
Recommendations
Suppose you already have BDO in your portfolio and your trailing stop is still intact. If that’s your case, I recommend that you hold your position for now regardless of whether you’re a low-risk or a high-risk investor. Consider adding more shares when your buying power permits if and when the 10SMACD combo and Momentum Power Indicator of BDO are both bullish.
Suppose you don’t have BDO yet, and you have the buying power to buy a few board lots. If that’s your case, I still find it prudent to wait for its 10SMACD and Momentum Power Indicator to become bullish. I wouldn’t waste my buying power on a stock that’s more likely to move sideways with a bearish bias.

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.

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.
