Nickel Asia Corporation Technical Analysis
Nickel Asia Corporation (NIKL) closed at P6.32 per share, up by 8.03 percent, on February 22, 2021. The total turnover value reached P240.48 million.
The foreign investors’ participation’s size is quite noticeable, which started in the last week of October 2020. Did you know that they’ve been on a net buying mode for 10 consecutive trading days already? Today, they registered a net foreign buying worth nearly P48 million.
NIKL’s ascent is supported with volume. I see two towering volume bars registered in the two past consecutive trading days, which are both higher than 100 percent of NIKL’s prevailing 10-day volume average during the said days.
Despite the bullishness of the NIKL, it managed to maintain a 10-day historical volatility score below 70 percent, which makes it a moderate-risk stock.
Using the 14-day standard smoothing period in my Directional Movement Index, I see that the +DMI registers a bullish divergence from the -DMI, which is in favor of the bulls, of course. However, I prefer to see the Average Directional Index’s score touch the 20-point mark to validate a strong upward momentum. But what more can you ask for? NIKL’s has risen from P1.40/sh to P6.30/sh since May 2020.
The immediate support sits at P6.00, while the immediate resistance stands at P7.50. If NIKL retreats, P5.30 will be its support level.
Based on my Evergreen Strategy 1.0, the stock will only get a confirmed buy signal if its 10SMACD and Momentum Power Indicator are both bullish. NIKL’s 10SMACD is bullish. Let’s proceed to my trade-volume distribution analysis to know the status of its Momentum Power Indicator.

Intraday Low: ₱5.9600

NIKL got a bullish Momentum Power Indicator since all of its parameters are bullish. This mining stock has a confirmed buy signal. But don’t be too quick to decide to buy. Consider what the overall True Market Sentiment says, too.

It’s a topsy-turvy overall True Market Sentiment across two timeframes. It’s neutral with a bearish bias. It seems NIKL is more likely to rest a bit as it temp-checks the appetite of the investing public to buy more. Watch out for the daily moves of Wealth Securities and Deutsche Regis Partners. If these two start to register a net selling amount for 2 to 3 consecutive days, it’ll be more likely for the trend to continue to move toward the immediate support.

Recommendations
If you already have a base on NIKL and if your trailing stop is intact, you have two options.
Option 1: Top up within the prevailing dominant range if you have a high-risk tolerance.
Option 2: Hold your position if you have a low-risk level due to the neutral (with bearish bias) overall True Market Sentiment.
If you don’t have a position on NIKL, you may consider the two options I mentioned above, depending on your risk level. Of course, you must calculate your reward-to-risk ratio first. Only when you are satisfied with the ratio should you position to buy within the prevailing dominant range.
If the dominant range I indicated above doesn’t show up within the first 3 to 5 minutes of trading by the next trading day, please ask for NIKL’s latest trade-volume distribution in our Private Clients Forum (for our subscribers only).

sharing of information make me gain more knowledge about this trading business
Hello Sir Jaycee,Thank you for your free stocks information. Two months pa lang ako sa stock trading and your sharing of information make me gain more knowledge about this trading business. More power to you. Again, thank you so much…
ang husay rin niyang magexplain sa tagalog
Sa totoo lang alangan ako magsubscribe sa umpisa. Technical subject tapos ang pagkakaalam ko puro English si Sir Jaycee. Sabi nya sa page ng Stock Signals page pwede raw magtagalog. So tinagalog ko nga ang unang post ko sa forum. Di ko inexpect na ang husay rin niyang magexplain sa tagalog. Sulit na sulit ang stock signals. Hindi na ako palaboylaboy sa mga FB groups ngayon. Buti pa dito matitino ang mga sagot na makukuha mo.
Malaki talaga naitulong nito sakin, hindi pa ko nagsstart mag invest.
Hello sir, Thank you so much for the free newsletter. Malaki talaga naitulong nito sakin, hindi pa ko nagsstart mag invest sa stock market since katatapos ko lang mag ipon para sa emergency funds ko, pero hopefully di matatapos ang taon na ito.. i’ll be going start my journey in investing . Thanks you so much for the important infos. keep it up!
maintains a good balance in reasoning
Jaycee maintains a good balance in reasoning in terms of fundamental and technical analysis. Jaycee is a serious guy but not boring. When you ask, he responds in great detail with charts and he will make you think. It looks like spoonfeeding at first but he finds a way to challenge you to make your own decision. No regret signing up to his Stock Signals (thanks Jaycee). -Rob
Very helpful
Really appreciate the analysis that you’ve provided. Very helpful.
do you still sleep? 🙂
I am not sure if Sir Jaycee still sleeps. You ask in the morning, he responds. You ask at night, he responds. What amazes me more is the way he answers in detailed form. I thought mas mahaba akong magcompose ng tanong. It turns out kasing haba lang ng intro nya ang length ng tanong ko. In his intro alone, I can learn something new. The Stock Signals is so sulit. Do you have an affiliate program, sir?
it helps me a lot in analyzing which stocks to invest
I surely read all emails I received from you because it helps me a lot in analyzing which stocks to invest and stocks to look after.Thank you. God bless.
very detailed and hands-on
Thank you Jaycee for sharing your knowledge with us. I wonder if you’re still getting enough sleep. You’re very detailed and hands-on on your responses both on the forum and email. I won’t think twice recommending your service to my colleagues here in Dubai.
