Introduction

Hi everyone, I'm Muyan! Today is Monday, August 24, 2026. Although the broader market experienced some volatility today, we need to look ahead and prepare in advance. In today's post, I'll take you through the perspective of our AI model to plan ahead for the next trading day—Tuesday, August 25, 2026—covering the Taiwan stock market and overall market dynamics. In particular, how should we interpret the massive position foreign institutional investors have set up in the futures market? Let's dive in!

Today's Market Forecast

In "AI Stock Chat", we focus our forecasts exclusively on the Taiwan Capitalization Weighted Stock Index (TAIEX), providing predictive data across two horizons: "Next-Day" and "Short-Term". Below is the latest forecast from our AI model for Tuesday, August 25, 2026:

Although the TAIEX currently remains at a high level of around 45,000 points, the AI forecasting model has assigned a "Neutral" outlook for Tuesday, August 25.

The most critical factor behind this is that foreign institutional investors have built up a massive short position of over 80,000 contracts in the futures market, which undoubtedly exerts huge invisible pressure on the bulls. Additionally, tech stocks have been relatively weak recently, and major players in global markets are holding their breath for NVIDIA's earnings release on August 26.

Therefore, the overall market sentiment for Tuesday (8/25) is set to "neutral-to-bearish". I suggest that you avoid blindly chasing highs at this time. Instead, keep a close eye on whether semiconductor heavyweight stocks like TSMC can show resilience against declines, and whether the backwardation (negative spread) between futures and spot prices is narrowing. For beginners, adopting a wait-and-see, defensive stance over the next couple of days would be a more prudent choice!

Global Market Overview

Next, let's look at the latest status of global markets. Please note that US stocks and night-session Taiwan Index Futures only represent "historical/current factual data"—the AI model does not generate forecasts for them:

Strategic Stock Selection Radar

I would like to remind everyone that the following list consists of stocks filtered by our strategy system. This is a "strategic screening" and is absolutely not a buy/sell prediction for individual stocks, nor does it provide target prices or forecast directions!

Before we interpret this list, let me explain the definitions of these two scoring metrics:

• Overall Score: An overall health score (out of 100) that combines multiple indicators, including technical analysis, capital flow, and stock valuation.
• Institutional Flow Score: Focuses on the concentration of funds from major players and institutional investors. A score of 100 indicates that capital flows are highly concentrated on the stronger side.

Here is a plain-English breakdown of each stock:

• Taiwan Cooperative Financial (5880): Overall Score of 76, with a perfect Institutional Flow Score. It shows a clear "bullish" signal in terms of long/short indicators. This is mainly because the daily KD indicator has shown a bullish golden cross at a low level, signaling a turn to strength. The K-line also shows a bullish engulfing pattern, and volume is quietly stabilizing with a volume-price bottom divergence. Both technicals and capital flows are performing brilliantly.
• Quanta Computer (2382): Overall Score of 75, with an Institutional Flow Score of 100. You might wonder why the score is so high, yet the system flags it as "No clear buy/sell signal, wait-and-see recommended." This is because its moving averages are currently entangled, making the short-term direction unclear. Although the stock price has risen above the monthly moving average (medium-term bullish), the short-term KD indicator is pointing downward. The long and short forces are offsetting each other, so it is recommended to remain patient in the short term.
• Mega Financial (2886): Overall Score of 73, with an Institutional Flow Score of 100, also showing a "bullish" signal. Similar to Taiwan Cooperative Financial, it features low-level strength indicators such as a low-level KD golden cross and volume-price bottom divergence. However, its current valuation is on the expensive side, so cost management is still necessary when trading.
• TSMC (2330): Overall Score of 72, with an Institutional Flow Score of 100. It is also currently in a "No clear buy/sell signal" wait-and-see state. TSMC's moving averages are currently entangled. Although the stock price is above the monthly moving average and the short-term KD is pointing upward, overall momentum is still consolidating. Coupled with an expensive valuation, market sentiment is highly cautious ahead of NVIDIA's earnings release, so there is no rush to chase highs.
• Cheng Shin Rubber (2105): Overall Score of 70, with an Institutional Flow Score of 100. It is currently in a "No clear buy/sell signal" wait-and-see state. Although the CCI indicator shows strengthening momentum, the K-line has formed a bearish Shooting Star, indicating selling pressure from above. With the tug-of-war between bulls and bears, there is no rush to enter in the short term.
