ST Engineering’s Uptrend Remains Intact: Is This Defensive Stock Ready for Another Leg Higher?

A clean breakout and renewed momentum may set the stage for the next move higher.

Executive Summary

Despite ongoing uncertainty across global markets, ST Engineering (S63.SI) continues to display a technically strong structure that has quietly been building momentum. After spending several months consolidating below the $9.00, the stock broke above this key resistance zone back in January. More importantly, the 1GT Bullish signals remain in play, suggesting that buying momentum may be returning after the consolidation phase. 

In this article, I break down ST Engineering’s price action using the One Good Trend (1GT) strategy, highlighting the key support and resistance levels traders should watch next, and how Daily Leverage Certificates (DLCs) listed on SGX can be used to participate in the potential move. As long as the $10.00 support level continues to hold, the broader uptrend remains intact, and a sustained push above $11.00 could open the door toward the next upside zone around $12.00.

  1. Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd (S63.SI)

Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd (S63.SI) is one of Singapore’s largest engineering and defence-related companies, with diversified operations spanning aerospace, defence & public security, and smart city solutions. The company provides maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services for aircraft, develops defence systems, and delivers advanced engineering solutions to governments and commercial customers worldwide.

After a strong advance earlier last year, the stock entered a consolidation phase between roughly the $8.00 to $9.00 zone, signalling that the stock was digesting its earlier gains rather than experiencing a breakdown in trend.

It continues to exhibit a well-structured and sustained uptrend, supported by rising moving averages and renewed momentum following its recent breakout above the $9.00 level.

A 1GT Bullish signal has appeared previously near the $9.00 level, and that signal is still playing out. 

Looking at the moving averages, the 20-day moving average (green line) is already pointing upwards and remains above the 100-day moving average (red line). 

The 100-day moving average continues to slope upward and remains well above the 200-day moving average (blue line), confirming that the longer-term trend structure remains firmly bullish.

The $10.00 level now acts as an important near-term support, with the prices capped under the key psychological resistance level of $11.00.

As long as prices continue to hold above the support level, the 1GT Bullish signal could continue to play out, supporting the possibility of further upside.

For traders adopting a more conservative approach, short-term pullbacks that remain above the $10.00 support area may present opportunities to accumulate positions while staying aligned with the prevailing trend.

Meanwhile, traders with a more aggressive stance may consider a breakout above $11.00, which could signal continued strength and momentum, potentially opening the path toward the $12.00 level.

Overall, with the 1GT Bullish signal active, moving averages aligned positively, and price breaking out from consolidation, ST Engineering remains technically strong. 

Until a red 1GT Bearish signal appears, the trend bias remains bullish, suggesting that this breakout could still be in its early stages.

So, how does one take a position in ST Engineering whereby you are able to reap more potential return to ride either the downside or upside further?

Those keen to ride on the short-term upward momentum in ST Engineering shares can consider using Daily Leverage Certificates (DLCs) traded on SGX to leverage on that move.

The reason for that is that the DLCs can potentially generate magnified returns for a given move in the underlying. 

Traders who are bullish can consider the ST Engineering 5xLongSG270712 (UQKW), while those who are bearish can consider the ST Engineering 5xShortSG270712 (9SWW) as shown below.

Singapore Stock DLCs

The Singapore Stock DLCs are designed to provide a fixed no. of times leverage performance on the underlying Singapore stock’s daily movement, based on a market-to-market close basis on the SGX.

  • If the ST Engineering stock rises by 2%, the 5x Long DLC will rise by 10%, and the 5x Short DLC will fall by 10%, before overnight costs and fees.

  • If the ST Engineering stock falls by 2%, the 5x Short DLC will rise by 10%, and the 5x Long DLC will fall by 10%, before overnight costs and fees.

These DLCs are listed and traded on the SGX just like any other stock from 9:00AM to 5:00PM, and can be accessed through your regular brokerage account.
