Swiss Market Index SMI - Possible Temporary Low – An 8% profit Short Term Opportunity

Following our market approach of cycles – Accumulation, Mark-up, Distribution and Decline, we observe a possible accumulation phase of the SMI by investors in the past few days, after a strong decline sparked by the HIGH established in December 2021.

When we look at the hourly chart, we see this possible accumulation phase developing between the levels of 10,111 and 10,600. We can also observe that the price movement of Friday, October 14, has broken the trendline from September.

This upward movement also left a gap on the price action around 10,266 which will define our ideal entry level.

This pattern development opens two scenarios for a possible short term opportunity:

  1. (Pink Dotted Line) The SMI will decline in search of the gap in the next few days, and bounce on the lower level of the trading channel 10,111 initiating the move up to 10,600 with a target of 11,000, last high established in September.
  2. (Blue Dotted Line) The SMI will spark higher to test the 10,600 level, and reverse the movement to close the gap, when the ideal entry will be established, before the expected upward initiates.

Both of these scenarios offer a overall potential 8.29% profit gain. It would be wise to take some profits on the 10,600 level just in case. The stop loss would be triggered on a daily close below the lower channel level 10,111.

Profit Potential: 8,29%

Risk: 2.2% (Stop Loss 10,000)
