Bulls rally next Monday, but don't forget the risk of foreign capital's 10,000 short positions. ## Opening Remarks Hello everyone, happy weekend! I'm Ticker. Today is Saturday, August 8, 2026—Happy Father's Day! Although the market is closed today, we're still here to help you get your homework done ahead of time. In this episode, we'll focus directly on the next trading day, **Monday, 2026-08-10**, analyzing the TAIEX market trend and strategic stock picks. US stocks closed in the green across the board on Friday, and the TAIEX night futures surged by over 1.6%. This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Monday's market open. However, don't celebrate too early—the massive short positions held by foreign institutional investors are still a sword hanging over our heads. How should we navigate next Monday? Let's dive in! --- ## Today's Market Forecast

TAIEX AI Forecast Range (Next Day / Short-term)

Our AI model only forecasts the Taiwan Capitalization Weighted Stock Index (TAIEX). Below are the prediction data for **Monday, 2026-08-10** and the short-term outlook for next week: | Horizon | Current Price | Forecast Direction | Target Range | Confidence | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Next Day (08-10) | 44396.7 | Bullish | 44738.06~45243.91 | 61.0% | | Short-term (1 Week) | 44396.7 | Bullish | 44894.38~46025.49 | 61.0% | **Ticker's Plain English Take:** Although the market was a bit jittery after hitting new highs a few days ago—fueled by tech stock pullbacks and foreign institutional investors holding an extreme short position of nearly 90,000 futures contracts, making everyone worry about a Monday morning dump—the latest massive rebound in US stocks and the surge in TAIEX night futures have given bulls the strongest possible backing. The AI model's forecast for **Monday, 2026-08-10** remains "Bullish," with a modest confidence level of 61%. However, Ticker has to nag you a bit: short-term buying momentum is actually getting a little overheated. While there is a high probability of pushing toward the target range after Monday's open, high-level volatility is inevitable. Beginners, please do not blindly chase the highs in excitement right at the open. Wait and see if the market can hold its support first! --- ## Global Market Status Here are the latest global market closing figures. Please note that this section **only represents objective current status and does not reflect AI predictions!** | Index | Close | % Change | | --- | --- | --- | | TAIEX Futures Night Session (TXF) | 45033 | 1.66% | | Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) | 54036.93 | 0.28% | | S&P 500 Index (GSPC) | 7757.64 | 0.62% | | Nasdaq Composite (IXIC) | 26690.62 | 1.30% | | PHLX Semiconductor Index (SOX) | 12356.79 | 2.56% | --- ## AI Predictions for Key Stocks After strict filtering by our model, there are currently no individual stocks that meet the high-confidence prediction criteria for this period. | Stock | Direction | Target Range | Confidence | Technical Signals | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | No Data | - | - | - | - | *Ticker's Honest Take: The AI model is being quite cautious today and didn't select any individual stock predictions with a high enough win rate. We prefer quality over quantity and will absolutely never make up data just to fill the page. That is our honesty policy!* --- ## Stock Selection Strategy Radar **A friendly reminder: The following content is a "strategic screen" based on quantitative indicators, not buy/sell predictions for individual stocks. Please use it as an auxiliary tool for stock selection.** | Stock | Overall Score | Institutional Score | P/E Ratio | Valuation | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Foxconn (2317) | 81 | 100 | 18.79 | expensive | | Hotai Motor (2207) | 72 | 100 | 15.11 | fair | | TSMC (2330) | 71 | 100 | 31.80 | expensive | | Hua Nan Financial (2880) | 69 | 75 | 21.28 | expensive | | Chunghwa Telecom (2412) | 67 | 100 | - | - | **Ticker's Plain English Commentary:** * **Foxconn (2317)**: Boasting an overall score of 81, with a perfect score on the institutional side! Technically, the CCI momentum indicator is strengthening, and both MACD and RSI are showing bullish divergence signals, indicating the downtrend is stabilizing. Volume is also quietly recovering. However, Williams %R indicates it is currently overbought, and with its valuation on the expensive side, those looking to jump in should be careful of the risk of chasing highs. * **Hotai Motor (2207)**: Overall score of 72. It currently exhibits a bullish moving average alignment, with the stock price holding above the monthly line, indicating a medium-term bullish structure. However, because the short-term KD indicator is pointing downward, today's score is 0, putting it in a "wait-and-see" state with no clear buy or sell signals. * **TSMC (2330)**: Score of 71, with institutional score also at a perfect 100. Bullish factors include the MACD histogram turning positive, indicating strengthening upward momentum. However, note that Williams %R shows it is overbought, and the valuation is already expensive, so be cautious about chasing highs. * **Hua Nan Financial (2880)**: Score of 69. CCI shows strengthening momentum, but RSI has reached the overbought territory at 73. With an expensive valuation, aggressive chasing at the open on **2026-08-10** is not recommended. * **Chunghwa Telecom (2412)**: Score of 67. Williams %R has dropped into the oversold zone, presenting a potential opportunity for a deep rebound at any time. However, the MACD histogram has just turned negative, indicating slightly weak momentum. You might want to observe for a few more days to see if it truly bottoms out. --- ## Recent Forecast Accuracy Review

Recent Directional Accuracy (higher is more accurate; includes settled sample size)

We value honesty and transparency above all else—we tell it like it is, good or bad. The recent market prediction performance has left us a bit embarrassed: * **Market · Next-Day Forecast: Directional Accuracy 33.3% (0/3 hits, average error 1.19%)** That's right—for the last three next-day market forecasts, the AI struck out completely. Even though the average error was kept around 1.19%, a missed direction is still a miss. This is exactly why Ticker tirelessly reminds everyone every day: AI models only perform probability assessments based on historical data and quantitative indicators; they are absolutely not guaranteed, money-making crystal balls. The market changes in the blink of an eye. While referencing these forecasts, you must always have your own risk safety net in place! --- ## Disclaimer This content is automatically generated by an AI model based on quantitative data and is for research reference only.
