Opening Remarks

Hi everyone, I'm Mu-Yen! Welcome to today's "AI Stock Chat." Although US stocks and the TAIEX futures night session rebounded strongly, raising high expectations for tomorrow's market on Friday, 2026-08-14, our AI model has flashed a warning light on the data front. It predicts that the TAIEX (weighted index) may face severe pressure to open high and drift lower tomorrow. Today, let's honestly dissect this battleground where foreign investors are pressing down with a whopping 86,000 short contracts—is it honey or poison?


Today's Market Forecast

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

Our service only forecasts the TAIEX (weighted index). Below are the forecast data for tomorrow, Friday, 2026-08-14, and the short-term outlook for the coming week:

Short-Term (1 Week)45518.07Bearish43690.7~44834.7256.0%

Mu-Yen's Plain Interpretation: You might be shocked to see this forecast! Given that the TAIEX futures night session surged to 46,117 points, strongly implying a high probability of a gap-up open for the spot market tomorrow, Friday, 2026-08-14, why does the AI model boldly go "bearish" and set the estimated range as low as 44,481.19 to 44,992.81 points?

There is a highly rigorous quantitative logic behind this. Although the rebound in US semiconductor stocks boosted the night session, the Taiwan stock spot market currently exhibits a weak structure of "propping up index-heavyweights while mid/small-caps fall." Most critically, foreign investors' short position in TAIEX futures has accumulated to an extremely bearish 86,000 contracts, hitting a historic high. Historical backtesting of our model shows that under such extreme institutional positioning structures, there is a very high probability of a "gap up followed by relentless dumping by foreign capital," resulting in a long black candlestick (bearish K-line). Therefore, if the market opens high tomorrow, avoid blindly chasing the rally; instead, guard against the risk of a sharp reversal and sell-off. Looking at the short-term one-week horizon, also constrained by foreign short positions, Middle East tensions, US inflation data, and other variables, we expect the market to remain in a bearish box-range consolidation, with the defensive range projected at 43,690.7 to 44,834.72 points.

Evergreen (2603)711009.38expensive
Wan Hai (2615)70758.04expensive
Catcher (2474)697513.51fair

Mu-Yen's Plain Interpretation:

  • TSMC (2330): Overall score of 75, with a daily strategy long/short score of 0.0 (a score above 2 indicates bullish technicals and institutional flows, below -2 indicates bearish, and in-between is neutral/sidelines). There is currently no clear buy/sell signal. The chart shows a bullish alignment of short-, medium-, and long-term moving averages, with the stock price holding above the monthly moving average. The short-term KD indicator is bullish, maintaining an overall medium-term bullish structure.
  • Novatek (3034): Overall score of 72, with a daily strategy long/short score of 1.0 (within the neutral/sidelines range). The main bullish factor is strengthening momentum, with the CCI indicator reaching 122.01.
  • Evergreen (2603): Overall score of 71, with a daily strategy long/short score of -0.9 (within the neutral/sidelines range). Although trading volume significantly expanded by 1.56x and momentum is strengthening (CCI 204.16), bearish factors show that the Williams %R has reached -5.88 (in the overbought territory) and a bearish MACD divergence has appeared, suggesting the rally is losing steam. Caution is advised when chasing highs.
  • Wan Hai (2615): Overall score of 70, with a daily strategy long/short score of 0.6 (within the neutral/sidelines range). Bullish factors include trading volume expanding significantly by 1.7x and strengthening momentum (CCI 123.17); however, the Williams %R indicator has reached -14.06, entering the overbought zone, so watch out for the risks of chasing highs.
  • Catcher (2474): Overall score of 69, with a daily strategy long/short score of 4.1 (a strategy score above 2 indicates technicals and institutional flows are leaning bullish). Bullish factors include the 5-day moving average crossing above the 20-day moving average to form a golden cross, trading volume expanding by 2.37x, strengthening momentum (CCI 241.69), and a bullish MACD divergence, indicating signs of stabilization in the downtrend.

Recent Forecast Accuracy Review

TAIEX · Next-Day43%(3/7)TAIEX · Short-Term67%(2/3)
Recent Directional Accuracy (higher is more accurate; includes settled sample size)

We value honesty and transparency above all, reporting both the good and the bad. Below is the actual performance of our recent AI forecasts:

  • TAIEX · Next-Day: Directional accuracy 42.9% (correct direction 3/7 times); range hit 2/7 times; average error 1.04%
  • TAIEX · Short-Term: Directional accuracy 66.7% (correct direction 2/3 times); range hit 0/3 times; average error 2.13%

Recently, the market has experienced severe volatility due to extreme institutional positioning by foreign investors and geopolitical tensions, leading to a lower next-day directional accuracy (42.9%). Mu-Yen would like to remind everyone once again that the AI model provides probabilistic estimates. Under extreme market conditions, you should treat the target range as a defensive line for risk control, rather than an absolute entry or exit signal.
