Tech Equities Find Resistance At 100DMA

CHINA
  • This year, we have seen that the sharp contraction in Chinese liquidity combined with the deceleration in the economic activity have been weighing on domestic asset prices, particularly tech equities.
  • In the past cycle, tech equities have shown a strong relationship with Chinese liquidity, which we define as the annual change of the Total Social Financing (TSF) 12M sum.
  • After consolidating by over 40% since their high reached in February, which corresponds to the peak of the Chinese economic activity, China tech equities (CQQQ) have been retracing higher this month, up over 16% since their local low reached on October 6.
  • CQQQ ETF has been testing its 100DMA resistance at 72.87 in the past few days; next level to watch stands at 74, which represents the high of its LT downward trending channel.
  • Next resistance above that stands at 75.90, which corresponds to the 50% retracement of the 43.19 – 108.61 range (2020/21 low high).
  • However, the recent rebound (which was partly driven by the risk on environment and recent JPY depreciation) may be short-lived as economic data continue to disappoint in China.
  • Support to watch on the downside stands at 68.18 (61.8% Fibo).
