  • • Short selling surge + institutional buying = potential short squeeze
  • • Short positions decrease sharply before mandatory covering date

What is Taiwan Stock Chip Analysis?

Chip analysis is a method of assessing market fund flows by observing the trading activities of the three major institutional investors: foreign investors, investment trusts, and dealers. These institutions have professional research teams and substantial capital, so their positions often reflect views on individual stocks or the broader market. Foreign investors represent international capital perspectives, trusts reflect domestic fund managers' judgment, and dealers operate with brokerages' own capital. Combined with margin trading data and shareholding distribution tables, this provides a comprehensive view of changes in market participants' holding structures.

How to Read Institutional Trading Data?

Foreign Investors: Foreign Institutional Investors, with the largest capital flow, having the greatest impact on large-cap stocks. Consecutive net buying typically indicates a bullish outlook.

Trust: Domestic mutual funds specializing in mid-small cap stocks. Stocks with consecutive trust buying often show swing trading opportunities.

Dealers: Brokerage proprietary trading desks with shorter-term operations. Single-day data is less reliable; observe consecutive trends instead.

This tool provides 5-trading-day trend tracking, generating more reliable comprehensive analysis through consecutive net buy/sell days and cumulative net amounts.

FAQ

What are the three major institutional investors?

The Three Major Institutional Investors refer to Foreign Investors, Investment Trust (domestic mutual funds), and Dealers (brokerage proprietary trading desks). Their trading activities are considered key market indicators for Taiwan stocks, as institutional investors possess professional research teams and substantial capital, and their trading direction often reflects market trends.

How to interpret chip analysis?

Key observations include: (1) Consecutive days of net buying or selling by the Three Major Institutional Investors — the longer the streak, the more reliable the signal; (2) Whether Foreign Investors and Investment Trust are trading in the same direction — synchronized net buying is a strong bullish signal; (3) Increasing margin buying combined with institutional net selling may warn of retail investors chasing highs; (4) Rising shareholding ratios among large TDCC holders is typically a positive signal.
