This episode was recorded on Friday, October 16, 2026, forecasting the Taiwan stock market benchmark for the next trading day, Monday, October 19. The quantitative model has turned bearish this time; however, looking overseas, the Dow surged and TAIEX futures night session also turned positive, so bullish and bearish signals are a bit mixed. Let's dive into what the data says. ## Today's Index Forecast
Current price 46969.87Next dayBearish · 46304.13~46836.72 · Confidence 70%Short termBearish · 45481.24~46672.14 · Confidence 70%
Weighted Index AI Forecast Range (Next Day / Short Term)
| Horizon | Current Price | Predicted Direction | Target Range | Confidence | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Next Day (10/19) | 46969.87 | Bearish | 46304.13-46836.72 | 70.0% | | Short Term (about one week) | 46969.87 | Bearish | 45481.24-46672.14 | 70.0% | The model points to a downward correction for both the next-day and short-term horizons, with an expected decline of about 3.41%. The target ranges have been revised down accordingly, and confidence levels sit around 70% for both, which suggests a fairly consistent read. Looking at market sentiment, the mood also leans cautious: only 201 stocks advanced versus 815 that declined, a weak ratio of nearly four to one that echoes the model's bearish call. Selling pressure in the short term may not be fully spent yet, so it's worth keeping an eye on the support zone around 46,300. ## Global Market Snapshot | Index | Close | Change % | | --- | --- | --- | | TAIEX Futures Night Session (TXF) | 47366 | +0.93% | | Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) | 52177.69 | +1.08% | | S&P 500 Index (GSPC) | 7744.06 | +0.33% | | Nasdaq Composite (IXIC) | 26713.03 | +0.08% | | Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) | 11581.22 | -0.88% | Interestingly, all four major US indices closed higher, with the Dow up more than 1%, and TAIEX futures night session also turned positive, rising 0.93%, which doesn't quite line up with the model's bearish call for the benchmark. However, the SOX bucked the trend and closed down 0.88%, which could weigh on sentiment for Taiwan's heavyweight electronics stocks. These crosscurrents are worth watching when the market opens on Monday. ## Strategy Stock-Picking Radar The following are strategy screening results, not buy/sell predictions for individual stocks. | Stock | Composite Score | Capital Flow Score | P/E Ratio | Valuation | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Hotai Motor (2207) | 75 | 100 | 13.43 | cheap | | Realtek (2379) | 72 | 100 | 27.7 | expensive | | Mega Financial (2886) | 71 | 100 | , | , | | Chang Hwa Bank (2801) | 70 | 100 | 17.15 | expensive | | President Chain Store (2912) | 69 | 100 | , | , | These stocks were selected based on technical signals such as MACD histogram turning bullish, bullish candlestick patterns, and volume-price divergence from MACD. These scores purely reflect current capital flow and technical readings, and do not indicate future price direction, so please interpret them with a clear head. ## Recent Forecast Accuracy Review
Index · Next Day67% (6/9)Index · Short Term40% (2/5)
Recent Directional Accuracy (Higher Is More Accurate; Includes Settled Sample Count)
Honestly, the next-day directional accuracy stands at 66.7% (6 out of 9 correct calls), with the predicted range fully hit 4 times and an average error of about 0.71%, a fairly stable showing. But stretching out to the one-week short-term horizon, accuracy drops to just 40% (2 out of 5), with only 1 instance fully within range, and the average error widening to 2.4%. The reliability of short-term forecasts is clearly lower, so keep that in mind when referencing them, especially for the short-term calls. ## Disclaimer This content is automatically generated by an AI model based on quantitative data, and is intended for research reference only; it does not constitute investment advice or a recommendation of any kind.
