Pan-Asia Tactical Market Calls (Quant-Driven), MRM Research

Nico Rosti

Senior Quantitative Strategist at Aethon Capital (crypto fund).

Quantitative Researcher, Algorithmic Trader and former Portfolio Manager at Capital Theory Investment Management, LLC (Austin, TX - USA). 

I specialize in systematic, short-term forecasting for US and Pan-Asian Stocks and Indexes. My methodology is centered on proprietary quantitative modeling (statistical study of trend persistence and mean reversion effects), leveraging probabilistic Bayesian models to predict tactical shifts over a 1-day to few-week horizon.

All models are explicitly human-built—no AI/machine learning—to eliminate black-box risk. This intensive, non-automated approach ensures that every Tactical Market Call is supported by a clear, explainable rationale.

SMIC (981 HK) is down 41.6% from its 52-week high due to heavy capex, but presents solid fundamentals and bullish consensus targets (HKD 108.57) despite lingering export control headwinds.
The recent 5-week continuous decline has pushed prices into statistical outlier territory, triggering a very high probability of a mean-reversion bottom within 1–2 weeks, according to our model.
Solid index backing and upcoming Q3 earnings (Oct 31) support a high-conviction LONG asymmetric risk entry targeting a medium-term bounce to HKD 70–80 (a conservative target versus consensus).
