PayPal (PYPL): Elliott Wave update - final target in sightSince our entry in PayPal, the stock has performed exceptionally well, respecting the Elliott wave structure and currently providing us with a return of over 35%. This price action demonstrates how effectively PayPal follows the Elliott wave count, reinforcing our bullish outlook.
We have now set our stop loss at break even, allowing us to safeguard our gains while continuing to benefit from potential upward movement. During the recent wave (4), we chose not to enter, but it's important to note that the price respected the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level precisely, indicating a strong likelihood that similar levels will be respected in future corrections.
PayPal is currently advancing through wave (5), and we anticipate this wave to conclude soon. Our target for the larger wave (iii) stands at $81, with wave (5) potentially reaching up to $84. However, there is a possibility that wave (5) may conclude before reaching the wave (iii) target. Therefore, we will closely monitor the situation, keeping our alerts ready to react as needed.
Once PayPal moves into the $81 target area, we will look to secure additional profits. Should the price action align with our projections, we will consider re-entering at wave (iv) for further opportunities. Until then, we let our position continue running.

Strong Fund Flow Observed - HeartCore Enterprise Inc.Daily Chart of HeartCore Enterprise Inc. (BUY)
Following the robust guidance from HTCR projecting revenue growth between $17 million and $19 million, alongside a significant increase in net income to between $9 million and $11 million, a notable inflow of funds was observed last Friday. This projected growth—representing increases of approximately 263% in revenue and 305% in net income—has captured investor attention, driven largely by HTCR's strong performance in its software business in Japan and its "Go IPO" initiative, which features around 12 companies poised for public offerings.
From a technical analysis perspective, HTCR has successfully broken through key resistance levels at $0.98 and $1.00, with the $1.00 level now serving as a support. A golden cross was also observed on the 20/50 moving averages, indicating a bullish trend, which is further corroborated by the strong fund inflows represented by red and pink bars on the chart. Given these promising developments, we maintain a BUY rating on HTCR.
The Untapped Potential of Electric Vehicle (EV) in SingaporeSingapore is poised to lead South-east Asia's electric vehicle (EV) revolution, with a projection that by 2040, 80% of all passenger vehicles in the country will be electric.
This makes Singapore the standout market in the region, with a significantly higher adoption rate compared to its neighbours, where the regional average is expected to reach just 24%. Thailand and Vietnam are forecast to trail behind at 41% and 31% respectively, highlighting Singapore’s robust position in the green mobility sector.
Singapore’s adoption of EVs is already outpacing other nations in the region. By 2023, EVs made up 19% of total vehicle sales in the country, the highest in South-east Asia. Notably, in the first seven months of 2024, EVs represented 32.1% of new car registrations, showcasing strong growth momentum.
Singapore’s lead is further underpinned by a dense charging network, with one public charging station for every three EVs—far ahead of Thailand's ratio of one charger for every 16 EVs and Malaysia's one for every 38.
The rapid growth of the EV market in Singapore is supported by government initiatives aimed at promoting electric mobility and a greener future. The Electric Vehicles Charging Act, introduced in December 2023, has laid the regulatory groundwork for a reliable and accessible EV charging network. It ensures that all chargers adhere to Land Transport Authority (LTA) safety standards and introduces a new licensing regime for charging operators to maintain service standards and safety.
These efforts will facilitate the deployment of 60,000 EV charging points across Singapore by 2030, with 40,000 set for public car parks and 20,000 for private premises.
Additionally, the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) system in Singapore plays a significant role in accelerating EV adoption. By encouraging the turnover of vehicles every ten years, the system indirectly fosters the uptake of newer, greener technologies like electric vehicles. Coupled with policies aimed at ending the registration of new diesel-powered cars and taxis from 2025 onwards, Singapore’s path towards sustainable transport is clearly defined.
A key factor driving this EV expansion is the steady decline in battery prices. Batteries are the most expensive component of an electric vehicle, but BloombergNEF notes that battery prices have fallen by 90% from 2010 to 2023, and they are expected to drop further by 17% for every doubling of battery production. This trend is making EVs more price-competitive with traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, thus lowering barriers to entry for many prospective EV owners.
Looking at the broader South-east Asian context, the market for passenger EVs continues to expand, fuelled by supportive policies and the involvement of major Chinese automakers. In Thailand—the largest EV market in the region—EV sales quadrupled in 2023 to 86,383 units. Singapore, while smaller in absolute numbers, recorded 5,734 EV sales in the same year, reflecting a significant adoption rate relative to its population size.
Government strategies, such as mandatory EV charging provisions for new buildings and incentives like the EV Common Charger Grant for private residences, are further catalysing the growth of EV infrastructure in Singapore. By the end of 2023, approximately one-third of Housing and Development Board (HDB) car parks were fitted with EV charging points, with a target for all HDB towns to be EV-ready by 2025. The government is also working towards fostering a culture of responsible sharing of charging facilities as part of its broader aim of a seamless and accessible charging experience.
Against this backdrop, EuroSports Global Ltd (SGX: 5G1) is aggressively entering the market with the launch of the Scorpio X1 EV bike. With approval from the Land Transport Authority (LTA), this electric motorcycle aims to capture the growing demand for EVs in Singapore.
Given the country's favourable regulatory environment, expanding infrastructure, and consumers' increasing shift towards electric mobility, the Scorpio X1 could see significant growth in the coming years, marking a promising chapter for EuroSports Global Ltd in the electric mobility sector.

ASML (ASML): Massive Sell-Off - What's next after the $50B loss?We are sure you’ve heard about ASML’s massive drop yesterday, erasing $50 billion in market value within hours following a technical error and the earnings report published a day earlier. ASML, Europe's most valuable tech company and a critical supplier to chipmakers, is now facing doubts—not about its long-term prospects but regarding short-term sales and whether it can continue to outperform the market in the long term.
As always, we’re not focused on intraday trades but are looking for bigger, high-risk-to-reward swing trade setups. To assess this, we’re turning to the Weekly chart to analyze ASML’s most important levels. Our most likely scenario at this point is that the All-Time High represents a wave B, after exactly respecting the 138% Fibonacci extension level. Coupled with the bearish divergence on the RSI, this pullback was expected.
While it's difficult to predict the exact point of reversal, we see $600 as a major psychological support level that could hold in the short term. To reverse the current downtrend, ASML must break above the resistance zone of $850–$895. However, as this is a potential wave ((ii)), even reaching the All-Time High is not out of the question. Merely reclaiming this resistance zone might not be enough to signal a trend change.
We’re keeping an eye on all major support zones, but the largest position we plan to open would be between $250 and $140. While this is still far off, and there will likely be opportunities along the way, this zone would provide the most textbook setup according to Elliott Wave Theory. The recent dip has also opened up more potential plays for the future.
Stay tuned as we monitor the situation for further developments! 🔥

(Transcript) NASDAQ: ATPC | Building on the Solar Energy Game Welcome to a new era of opportunity in Malaysia’s renewable energy sector. As the country accelerates its transition to clean energy, solar power stands out as a promising area of growth and investment.
For investors looking for sustainable and profitable ventures, Agape ATP Corporation (NASDAQ: ATPC) offers an exciting entry point into this booming market.
Malaysia's government is driving the adoption of renewable energy with ambitious targets: 31% of energy from renewables by 2025 and 40% by 2035.
Solar power is at the forefront of this transition. Thanks to initiatives like the Large Scale Solar (LSS) programme and the Corporate Green Power Programme (CGPP), solar energy costs have plummeted, becoming 53% cheaper than fossil fuels in recent years.
This shift opens up substantial investment opportunities, especially as demand for sustainable energy sources grows.
Malaysia is also becoming a digital hub in Southeast Asia, with data centres playing a critical role.
These facilities require stable and reliable energy, presenting a unique opportunity for solar power. As data centres continue to expand, their energy needs are aligning with the capabilities of solar energy, especially through virtual power purchase agreements (VPPA).
By integrating solar power into their energy mix, data centres can not only lower their operational costs but also meet their sustainability goals. This makes solar a crucial partner in powering the digital age.
For investors, ATPC represents a strategic opportunity to capitalise on Malaysia's solar boom.
The company’s recent expansion under the LSS4 programme has increased our renewable energy capacity, positioning them as a key player in supplying clean power to industrial clients and data centres.
ATPC’s latest solar developments includes the collaboration with Phoenix Green Energy to drive the development and commercialisation of cutting-edge solar power solutions in Malaysia and expansion into Sabah’s solar farming sector.
This collaboration focuses on advancing a diverse portfolio of solar products, including amorphous thin-film solar panels, which are designed to support various applications, particularly in power production.
As Malaysia pushes forward with its energy transition, the demand for solar solutions will continue to grow. ATPC’s recent projects are already generating returns, with the potential for significant long-term growth as more data centres and industrial clients opt for renewable energy sources.
Now is a great timing to look into ATPC as a long-term yet sustainable investment.
Gilead Sciences (GILD): Will Support Hold or Will We See a Drop?We've neglected Gilead Sciences for a while, but it's time for an update. Unfortunately, our entry looking back wasn't ideal, as the stock has fallen below the 61.8% retracement level. It found support just below the 78.6% level, which marks the bottom of our range. This level was precisely touched, and we saw a relatively good movement upward from there.
However, the outlook remains uncertain. We hope that the stock does not fall below this range bottom, as it would prompt us to consider cutting it. Our first take-profit target is at the range high around $86.5, but reaching this level will take time as Gilead Sciences is currently underperforming.
Unlike most other stocks, Gilead Sciences operates in the research sector, not the tech sector. This means it follows a different cycle and is influenced by different capital flows. It tends to perform well when tech stocks do poorly. If tech stocks remain bullish, Gilead Science might continue to struggle. However, if there's a shift, Gilead Science could reverse and potentially reach up to $123, though this is quite far off.
We are holding our position for now, hoping not to cut if the stock falls out of the range. If it does, we will take necessary action.
Blackrock(BLK): Targeting $1050-$1250 After Strong EarningsThis week, BlackRock will release its third-quarter earnings report, and there’s a lot of optimism in the air. Morgan Stanley expects BlackRock to beat analyst expectations, forecasting stronger-than-expected net flows. According to Morgan Stanley, net flows will likely accelerate 8.3% year-over-year on an organic basis, with their forecast being 420 basis points ahead of the consensus. They also predict a 5.7% organic growth rate for long-term inflows, marking a sequential acceleration. BlackRock is scheduled to release its third-quarter results on Friday.
From a technical analysis standpoint, we anticipate more upside but with some limitations. We expect the intra-wave structure of wave ((iii)) to land between $1050 and $1350, though the more likely range is $1050-$1250. After spotting potential weakness in this range, we’ll be looking for an opportunity to enter on wave ((iv)), and we’ll send out limit orders when the time comes. As for the overarching wave (1), we expect a maximum of $1500 before a larger correction occurs.
Stay tuned as we monitor this carefully and share the next steps.

Despite challenges in its consulting segment in early 2024, the company is projected to recover in the latter half of the year, driven by gross proceeds from warrant sales and a strong push for new customer acquisitions in its software business.
The company has also shown prudent financial management with a focus on cost efficiency, achieving profitable quarters within its software division. With a clean balance sheet and additional capital inflows expected from ongoing IPO consulting deals, HeartCore is well-positioned to pursue further acquisitions, expand its product offerings, and reinforce its market presence.

Is the Dow's Relentless Rise a Harbinger of Future Fortune or a In an era of unprecedented market dynamics, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) has embarked on a journey of remarkable consistency, painting a picture of resilience that challenges historical norms. With a win rate approaching 61% over the past 250 trading days and impressive gains across multiple time frames, the Dow's current momentum stands as a testament to the market's enduring strength. This rare confluence of positive indicators places the present rally in the top echelons of market performances since 1900, excluding the tech bubble of 1995-2000.
Yet, as investors and analysts alike ponder the implications of this historic run, a question emerges: Does this exceptional momentum presage a continuation of bullish trends, or does it signal the approach of a market inflection point? Historical precedents offer a nuanced perspective, suggesting the potential for continued short-term gains while hinting at the possibility of increased volatility or stagnation in the longer term. The market's ability to sustain this momentum may hinge on factors as diverse as global economic conditions and the transformative potential of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence.
As we stand at this crossroads of market history, investors are challenged to look beyond the surface-level exuberance and delve deeper into the complexities of market cycles and technological revolutions. The Dow's current trajectory invites us to consider not just the immediate opportunities but also the broader implications for portfolio strategies and risk management in an ever-evolving financial landscape. In navigating these uncharted waters, wisdom lies in balancing optimism with prudence, recognizing that in the dance of market forces, momentum is but one partner in a complex choreography of factors shaping our financial future.

Super Micro Computer (SMCI): Time to buy in after a -70% drop!Since our first analysis a while ago, we've been inching closer and closer to our target area on $SMCI. Since then, we've seen a price drop of 40%, which is far from irrelevant, with the stock retracing nearly 70% from its peak. We're witnessing a clear and recurring pattern here—what we call the "staircase to hell." Each push to a level has been met with rejection, which is exactly why we see a buying opportunity forming.
We are now making our first bid here as a market entry. This is intended to be a swing trade that we plan to carry into 2025, with a target of reaching previous highs again. Therefore, we're not worried about getting a "perfect" entry within 1-2% but instead setting a DCA bid a bit lower for an optimal position if NASDAQ:SMCI comes down further.
Below the market entry, there's an important Fibonacci cluster that combines the 200% target of Wave C, the 78.6% retracement of Wave (2), and a target for Wave ((v)), all aligning well. With these multiple levels coinciding, there's a strong possibility we will see the price reach this zone. If so, we’ll place another bid to buy more shares.
If NASDAQ:SMCI manages to flip the first resistance, we expect it to move up quickly. As we always say, patience is the key to successful swing trading—don’t let greed or fear cloud your decisions 🤝.
A BloomZ Inc. (NASDAQ: BLMZ) Update: Growth, Strategic Alliances
BloomZ Inc. (NASDAQ: BLMZ) , a Japanese audio production and voice actor management company, has been making notable moves in 2024.

Recently, BloomZ reported a significant 39.3% year-on-year increase in its audio production and talent management business, alongside a remarkable 209.8% rise in its internet business.

Despite these hurdles, the company's proactive growth strategy through partnerships and sector expansion suggests it is aiming to overcome these obstacles and solidify its position in the entertainment industry.
Investors are watching closely to see how BloomZ navigates both its growth potential and financial challenges in the coming months.
