Bearish Pressure Mounts

HONG KONG STOCKS

Adding to our previous commentary, downside pressure on the Hang Seng has been mounting since the index printed strongest levels since 2018 last week. It then charted a bearish engulfing line candlestick pattern and pulled back from the aforementioned cycle highs on a rising volume, which crossed above its 15-DMA and indicated the strength of underlying momentum. At the same time, the RSI returned above the 70 threshold after a foray above that level, as a clear bearish divergence unfolded, reinforcing the bearish case.

  • Downside focus falls on the 23.6% retracement of the Sep 25 - Feb 18 rally at 29,281 and a break here would shift focus to the 50-DMA at 28,467. Conversely, bulls need to recover Feb 18 high of 31,183 to regain control.
