Capland Ascott - 14 Jun 25

CAPLAND ASCOTT TRUST (SGX: HMN) – Daily Chart (Oct 2024–Jul 14, 2025)
Bars Analyzed: Approx. 190 bars (9.5 months)


Current Market Regime:

Ranging Structure with emerging signs of potential breakout attempt; price oscillating between 0.770 support and 0.910 resistance over multiple months.


Top Conviction Observations:

1. Market Structure & Order Flow

  • Swing Highs (SH): 0.910 (Dec & Feb), 0.900 (Nov), 0.885 (multiple attempts)

  • Swing Lows (SL): 0.770 (Apr), 0.850 (May & Jun), 0.860 (Feb & Mar)

  • Structure Behavior:

    • Multiple failed breakout attempts above 0.885–0.910 suggest significant overhead supply.

    • CHoCH likely near 0.770 (Apr low) followed by demand re-entry and higher lows into June–July — suggesting early accumulation behavior.

    • Short-term trend shifting to upward bias above 0.875–0.880 after reclaiming key resistance.

2. Volume-Price Relationship (VPR)

  • Volume Climax (Apr): High-volume wide range down-bar at 0.770 was swiftly reversed — indicates climactic selling absorption.

  • Low Volume Breakout Attempts (Jun–Jul): Current breakout toward 0.885 lacks volume expansion — a red flag for false breakout risk unless validated soon.

  • Volume Clusters: Notable clustering near 0.850–0.865 reflects institutional positioning zones; price consolidating and coiling just below resistance.

3. Institutional Footprint Recognition

  • Liquidity Grab at 0.770 (Apr): Panic flush below key lows absorbed rapidly — classic spring action per Wyckoff.

  • Order Block Zone: 0.850–0.865 zone shows repeated price reaction — likely institutional accumulation zone.

  • Displacement Lacking: No clear wide-range bullish expansion bar to confirm breakout strength yet.

4. Bar Pattern Recognition

  • Inside Bar Clusters (May–June): Several narrow-bodied inside bars — indicative of energy build-up.

  • Recent Bars (July): Tight-range bars around 0.880–0.885 reflect hesitation at resistance — watch for a bullish outside bar to confirm breakout.

5. Multi-Timeframe Confluence

  • Weekly Chart Bias (inferred): Likely still neutral to bullish recovery from April lows; range-bound mid-term.

  • Daily Chart Structure: Now testing the upper boundary of multi-month range with higher lows supporting upward pressure.


Price Levels & Risk Zones:

LevelFunctionRationale
0.770Major SupportSpring low, institutional absorption
0.850Demand ZoneBase of recent rally, accumulation area
0.865Micro-SupportHigh-volume cluster, mini base
0.885Current PivotRejected multiple times – breakout threshold
0.910Range HighPrevious swing highs, target resistance
0.935Potential TargetProjected breakout extension
0.875Risk InvalidationBreak below invalidates short-term bullish thesis

Forward-Looking Bias & Triggers:

  • Bullish Bias pending volume confirmation. Close above 0.885 with high relative volume and bullish follow-through bar (preferably > 0.890 close) needed to validate breakout.

  • Failure Risk: A rejection bar with close below 0.875 on volume spike suggests trap and return to mid-range.

  • Sector/Market Correlation Needed: Strength in SGX REITs or broader real estate sector would reinforce breakout case.


Trade Summary Format:

Buying CAPLAND ASCOTT TRUST (SGX: HMN) because price is attempting a breakout from a long-term accumulation range with demand absorption confirmed at 0.770 and higher lows forming; stops at 0.875 targeting 0.910–0.935 for a 1:2.5 risk-reward ratio.
Confidence Rating: 6.5/10
Key Levels to Watch: 0.875 (support), 0.885 (breakout trigger), 0.910 (resistance), 0.935 (extension target)


Execution Checklist:

  • Break and close above 0.885 with increased volume

  • Bullish bar with real body > 50% candle size near resistance

  • No high-volume rejection from 0.885–0.890

  • SGX index and REIT peers in uptrend or stable
