What Happened
Market Performance: Taiwan stocks faced downward pressure on the 24th, closing down 461.97 points or 1.02% to settle at 44,762.32. The index failed to maintain the 45,000-point threshold and broke below its quarterly moving average, with trading volume shrinking to 629.4 billion TWD.
Sector Rotation: TSMC led the decline, closing at 2,375 TWD, down 1.45%. Investors shifted capital away from high-valuation AI server and electronic component stocks toward lower-valuation, defensive sectors, while UMC saw notable trading activity.
Technical Outlook: Analysts at First Capital Investment Consulting noted that the market is showing signs of a weak rebound characterized by volume-price divergence. With technical indicators like the daily KD and MACD showing limited strength, the market is unlikely to see a V-shaped reversal until it breaks through short-term resistance with significant volume.
Investment Strategy: Experts advise maintaining a disciplined approach, focusing on buying on dips rather than chasing rallies. For long-term themes like AI servers and silicon photonics, investors are encouraged to wait for NVIDIA's earnings guidance and for stock prices to stabilize at key support levels before increasing exposure.
