Opening Remarks

Hi everyone, I'm Muyan! Happy weekend. Although the market is closed today on Saturday, we still need to gear up and help everyone prepare ahead of time for the Taiwan stock market trend on 2026-08-24 (next Monday). Facing that thick stack of short positions held by foreign institutional investors, what attitude should we adopt next Monday? Today, let Muyan show you what the AI model predictions say in the most straightforward way!

Today's Market Forecast

Current Price 44933.74Next-DayNeutral · 44551.61~45315.87 · Confidence 71%Short-TermNeutral · 44079.28~45788.20 · Confidence 70%
TAIEX AI Forecast Range (Next-Day / Short-Term)

For the overall market, our service only forecasts the Taiwan Capitalization Weighted Stock Index (TAIEX). Below is the AI model's forecast for 2026-08-24 (Monday) and the short-term weekly outlook:

HorizonCurrent PriceForecast DirectionTarget RangeConfidence
Next-Day (08-24)44933.74Neutral44551.61~45315.8771.0%
Short-Term (1 Week)44933.74Neutral44079.28~45788.270.0%

Although the Taiwan stock market reclaimed its quarterly moving average on low volume in the previous trading session, the AI model remains highly cautious about 2026-08-24 (Monday), issuing a "Neutral" forecast. The primary reason is the "nuclear-grade" short position of 82,000 futures contracts accumulated by foreign institutional investors. Despite support from breakthroughs in semiconductor manufacturing processes and record-high export orders, buying momentum has pulled back, and willingness to chase higher prices is low. The most critical task on Monday will be to see if the bulls can hold the line at 44,719 points!

Global Market Overview

Next, let's look at the precursor to the international markets. Please note that the global market section only compiles the "current status" and does not include AI forecasts:

AI Forecasts for Key Stocks

Today, the AI model did not generate any individual stock forecasts that met our screening criteria. We prefer quality over quantity and will not make wild guesses without high confidence—this is our consistent principle of honesty.

Strategic Stock Selection Radar

The following are the results of our strategic screening, not individual stock buy/sell forecasts. These stocks are screened using quantitative criteria to identify special signals, provided for your research and reference:

StockOverall ScoreChip ScoreP/E RatioValuation
Uni-President (1216)70100,,
Quanta (2382)70100,,
Evergreen (2603)681009.75Expensive
Taiwan Cooperative Financial (5880)6875,,
Chang Hwa Bank (2801)67100,,

Muyan's Plain English Key Notes:

  • Uni-President (1216): Overall score of -1.2, currently leaning towards wait-and-see. Although the chip score is a perfect 100, technical indicators show it has entered the overbought zone, so be cautious about chasing highs in the short term.
  • Quanta (2382): Overall score of -0.2, leaning towards wait-and-see. Although a bullish "engulfing pattern" candlestick has appeared, Williams %R indicates it is in the overbought zone, so chasing highs also carries risk.
  • Evergreen (2603): Overall score of -3.4, leaning towards sell. Although trading volume has expanded by 1.8x with strong momentum, the current valuation is expensive, RSI has surged to 79, and the 20-day bias ratio is too high, meaning it could face a pullback at any time.
  • Taiwan Cooperative Financial (5880): Overall score of 2.0, leaning towards buy. Technically, a bullish "hammer line" has appeared, and volume has quietly stabilized, showing signs of volume-price bullish divergence.
  • Chang Hwa Bank (2801): Overall score of 0.0, currently no clear direction. Moving averages are currently tangled, and the stock price is weak after breaking below the monthly line, but the short-term KD indicator shows a golden cross, leaving bulls and bears in a tug-of-war.

Recent Forecast Accuracy Review

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

Next is our most valued, zero-sugarcoating "Honest Disclosure Time." To be frank, the recent performance of our AI model has been somewhat underwhelming, so please remain vigilant when referencing it.

For the next-day market forecast, the directional accuracy is only 33.3% (4 out of 12 times), with the target range fully hit 3 times, and an average error of 1.08%. For the short-term market forecast, the directional accuracy is also only 33.3% (3 out of 9 times), with the target range fully hit only once, and an average error of 2.28%. This report card is indeed failing. Our engineering team will continue to optimize the model, and we would like to remind everyone once again: please do not blindly follow AI forecasts!
