# 📈 AI Stock Chat, 2026-07-23 | After the biggest surge in history, calmly face the new situation on Friday, July 24!

## Introduction
Hello everyone, and welcome to "AI Stock Chat." I'm Pei-Yu. Today is Thursday, July 23, 2026, and we are here to predict the market trends for the next trading day—Friday, July 24, 2026—focusing on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) main index and key individual stocks. The Taiwan stock market just experienced a historic surge. Is everyone feeling pumped? However, with tomorrow's Friday settlement and weekly close ahead, we need to stay calm and see what the AI has to say. Be careful not to fall into the overbought trap of buying too quickly!

## Market Forecast for Today

This forecast is for the target trading day: 2026-07-24 (Friday)

| Horizon | Current Price | Forecast Direction | Target Range | Confidence |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Next-Day | 44825.78 | Bullish | 44500.43 ~ 45570.69 | 57.0% |
| Short-Term | 44825.78 | Bullish | 44831.16 ~ 47224.34 | 57.0% |

For the market on Friday, July 24, 2026, the AI projects a bullish direction for the broader market. Although the TAIEX just recorded its largest single-day gain in history, and a major rebound in US semiconductor chip stocks has boosted market sentiment, the Taiwan Index Futures night session premium reached as high as 5.68%, indicating that short-term market sentiment is somewhat overheated. The most critical factor to watch on Friday is whether the spot market opens too high due to panic buying, which could trigger a "high open, low close" profit-taking sell-off. We advise everyone to stay calm and avoid blindly chasing highs.

This forecast is for the target trading day: 2026-07-24 (Friday)

| Stock | Direction | Target Range | Confidence | Technical Signals |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Cathay Taiwan-Korea Tech (00735) | Bullish | 95.48 ~ 102.78 | 55.0% | KD=BUY, RSI=SELL, Bollinger=SELL |
| Fubon Vietnam (00885) | Neutral | 17.5 ~ 18.2 | 58.0% | KD=BUY, MACD=SELL, Bollinger=SELL |
| TSMC (2330) | Neutral | 2230.45 ~ 2409.55 | 50.0% | KD=SELL, RSI=SELL, MACD=SELL |
| Yuanta Taiwan 50 (0050) | Neutral | 401.48 ~ 433.72 | 57.0% | KD=SELL, RSI=SELL, Bollinger=SELL |
| MediaTek (2454) | Bullish | 4585.48 ~ 5087.38 | 56.0% | KD=BUY, RSI=SELL, Bollinger=SELL |
| Foxconn (2317) | Neutral | 259.16 ~ 284.84 | 55.0% | KD=BUY, RSI=SELL, MACD=SELL |

* **Cathay Taiwan-Korea Tech (00735)**: Short-term bullish. Although it has taken a severe beating recently, it is currently oversold, and a deep-drop rebound could occur at any time.
* **Fubon Vietnam (00885)**: Short-term consolidation at low levels. While a rebound is possible after the deep drop, selling pressure has not yet been fully digested. Let's first see if it can find its footing.
* **TSMC (2330)**: The outlook for the next 5 trading days leans toward "consolidation." The current valuation is on the expensive side, so we recommend a wait-and-see approach for now.
* **Yuanta Taiwan 50 (0050)**: Short-term outlook is consolidation. Although the stock price has broken below short-term moving averages, it has entered oversold territory. It is expected to fluctuate and build a bottom within this range.
* **MediaTek (2454)**: The outlook for the next 5 trading days leans "bullish." However, the current valuation is relatively expensive, so watch out for risks when chasing highs.
* **Foxconn (2317)**: The verdict is "consolidation." In the short term, expect a roller-coaster ride of ups and downs. Novice investors should watch out for short-selling pressure from foreign institutional investors.
* **Chunghwa Telecom (2412)**: Technical indicators are mixed. The stock is consolidating in place in the short term. With some indicators looking overheated, avoid rushing to chase highs here.

## Strategic Stock Selection Radar
*Reminder: The following are results from strategic screening, not stock buy/sell predictions.*

| Stock | Overall Score | Institutional Flow Score | P/E Ratio | Valuation |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Hung Poo (2536) | 84 | 100 | 6.53 | Fair |
| Lees Green Energy (1529) | 79 | 100 | 20.31 | Cheap |
| Farglory (5522) | 79 | 100 | 8.69 | Cheap |
| Globe Union (9934) | 78 | 100 | N/A | N/A |
| Hon Chuan (9939) | 76 | 100 | 14.69 | Fair |

* **Hung Poo (2536)**: Trading volume surged by 2.48x, and a bullish engulfing pattern has emerged. The CCI indicator is strengthening, but the Williams %R indicates overbought conditions.
* **Lees Green Energy (1529)**: A hammer pattern has formed, and MACD is showing bullish divergence. Short-term momentum shows signs of strengthening.
* **Farglory (5522)**: Trading volume surged by 3.98x, and CCI is strengthening. However, both RSI and Williams %R indicate overbought conditions, and the bias ratio (deviation rate) is too high. Be cautious of chasing highs.
* **Globe Union (9934)**: Short-, medium-, and long-term moving averages are in a bullish alignment. The stock price has risen above the monthly moving average, showing a medium-term bullish bias. However, there are currently no clear buy/sell signals; we recommend waiting.
* **Hon Chuan (9939)**: The 5-day moving average crossed above the 20-day moving average to form a golden cross, indicating strengthening momentum. However, the Williams %R shows overbought conditions, so watch out for a potential pullback.
