Singpost - 22 Jan 2026

1. Chart Setup & Context

Stock: Singapore Post Ltd (SGX: S08)
Timeframe: Daily (1D)
Approx. Date Range: Jun 2025 → Jan 2026
Bars Analyzed: ~150+ daily bars
Last Traded Price: ~0.400
Recent Volume: Muted, below mid-range historical average

Current Regime (Headline):

Late-stage bearish → compressed accumulation / balance range


2. Market Structure & Order Flow

Primary Structure (Top-Down)

  • Major Swing High (SH): ~0.660 (July)

  • Major Break of Structure (BOS):

    • Clean downside BOS below ~0.600 → confirms trend reversal from uptrend to downtrend

  • Cascade of Lower Highs (LH):

    • 0.660 → 0.520 → 0.480 → 0.425 → 0.415

  • Swing Lows (SL):

    • Deceleration from impulsive selling into flattening lows near 0.390–0.400

Key Insight:
Momentum decays materially after September, with shrinking candle ranges and overlapping bodies → classic trend exhaustion into balance.


3. Volume–Price Relationship (VPR)

Distribution Phase (July–Aug)

  • High volume + wide red ranges during the 0.60 → 0.48 breakdown

  • Clear professional distribution and forced liquidation

  • Retail trapped on prior “dividend/mean-reversion” narrative

Decline → Absorption Phase (Sep–Oct)

  • Selling continues but:

    • Volume no longer expands

    • Down bars show diminishing spread

  • Effort (volume) > Result (price) → absorption by stronger hands

Current Compression (Nov–Jan)

  • Low volume + narrow range

  • Multiple bars closing near midpoint

  • No follow-through on downside probes below ~0.395

This is not active distribution — it is inventory stabilization


4. Institutional Footprints & Smart Money Concepts

Liquidity Behavior

  • Downside liquidity sweep:

    • Brief probes toward 0.390 fail to expand range

  • No panic volume → weak hands already flushed

Order Block Logic

  • Bearish order block (supply):

    • ~0.425–0.435 (last strong sell-off base)

  • Demand response:

    • 0.390–0.400 repeatedly defended

Fair Value Efficiency

  • No meaningful FVGs remain open on daily

  • Market is efficiently priced inside balance


5. Bar Pattern Diagnostics

What You See Repeatedly

  • Small-body candles with wicks both sides

  • Occasional bullish bars with no follow-through

  • Frequent inside-bar clustering

Interpretation:

This is professional inactivity, not indecision from fear.
Market is waiting for external expansion catalyst.


6. Market Regime Classification

PhaseStatus
Trending (Bear)Completed
TransitionCompleted
Accumulation / BalanceActive
Mark-Up❌ Not yet

This is Wyckoff Phase B → early Phase C candidate, but no confirmed spring yet.


7. Key Psychological & Structural Levels

Critical Levels

  • Major Support: 0.390–0.400

    • Loss of this = renewed markdown risk

  • Range High / Supply: 0.425–0.435

    • Must be reclaimed with volume to flip bias

  • Structural Invalidation (Bear):

    • Sustained acceptance above ~0.445

Round-Number Psychology

  • 0.40 is heavily defended (psych + accounting bias)

  • Institutions clearly referencing it


8. Highest-Conviction Observations (Top 5)

  1. Downtrend momentum is fully exhausted — no expansion since October

  2. Repeated absorption near 0.40 despite multiple tests

  3. No supply urgency — sellers are inactive, not aggressive

  4. Rallies fail due to lack of demand, not excess supply

  5. Market is coiled, not broken — resolution pending


9. Risk-Adjusted Trade Location Logic (Technical Only)

Scenario A — Conservative (Confirmation-Based)

  • Trigger: Daily close above 0.435 with volume expansion

  • Bias: Structural range breakout

  • Invalidation: Close back below 0.415

  • Profile: Low frequency, high clarity

Scenario B — Mean-Reversion / Accumulation

  • Location: 0.395–0.405

  • Risk: Tight, below 0.385 (structural)

  • Expectation: Range rotation, not trend

  • This is NOT a breakout trade

Scenario C — Bear Continuation (Low Probability, High Impact)

  • Trigger: High-volume breakdown below 0.390

  • Implication: Absorption failed → renewed markdown

  • Target Logic: No support until lower historical base


10. Forward-Looking Bias

Neutral → Slightly Constructive (but NOT bullish)

  • Market is balanced

  • Next expansion will likely be fast once triggered

  • Direction depends on volume asymmetry, not patterns


Final Professional Summary

Singapore Post (S08) has completed a full bearish cycle and is now in a low-energy, institutionally controlled balance phase around 0.40.

There is no evidence of active selling, but also no proof of accumulation completion.

Treat this as a range-inventory environment, not a trend.

Wait for expansion — not opinions.
