The Hang Seng is nearly unchanged from where it started the year. Some of the strongest gainers of the index in recent days have been JD and Meituan. However, Tencent Holdings, by far the largest constituent, is down around 20% since January. The latest earnings season in China wasn’t stellar although negativity has arguably been overstated in some media this quarter.
The long-term trend is definitely down, but on this daily chart there are some positive signs. The 20-day SMA golden crossed the 50 from Bands late last month and the 50 also seems to be about to move above the 100. It’s probably going to be very difficult to break through 17,200 because that’s the confluence of the 200 SMA and the latest closing high from 12 March.
In the context of the bounce since 23 January and the slow stochastic close to the zone of selling saturation, the current period’s engulfing candlestick seems cautiously positive. However, it’s normally less risky to wait for such a pattern to complete before acting on it. No significant earnings are coming up next week, so technical action is likely to dominate apart from around Caixin PMI on Monday.
This is my personal opinion which does not represent the opinion of Exness. This is not a recommendation to trade.
