Hang Seng Index (HSI) Facing Downtrend Pressure

 


Hang Seng Index (HSI) Facing Downtrend Pressure

What are we expecting?
Hang Seng Index (HSI) fell below its key support level at 28,000. This break is more significant than usual as HSI has just experience index being halted at 31,000 level, and mounting Supply as indicated by our proprietary FFI (Fund Flow Index) indicator. 

These actions suggest the index is in a Distribution Phase, entering Mark Down phase.

First level of support for HSI will be at 26,000 area cushioned by high volume area and 1.618% Fibonacci level.

Who should be concerned?
Investors:
Investing in the Hong Kong Market may reduce position at this point but also keep a lookout for stocks that show signs of bottoming during the Mark Down process.

Traders: Taking short positions is preferred till 26,000 target reach or character of accumulation phase is observed. 

Why the Mark Down?
Stock market is always forward priced, we will not be able to clearly define the reason till 3-6months later. One marco trend that is developing is expectation of inflation, which leads to hike in interest rate environment, threatening companies recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wyckoff's Law of Effort

Law of Effort Wyckoff's Law of Effort states that on any single trading day (or week depending on time frame), huge volume (effort) push by participants should see huge price movement, resulting in a wide spread (long body). This is a basic principle of effort and result. However, as per Singtel's case study, we saw huge selling volume on 11 May, yet the price action only shows a narrow spread (small body). This divergence of effort and result in Wyckoff's Law of Effort principles, indicates possible exhaustion in selling or hidden buying. Thus, with a lack of weakness, Singtel should continue trading range bound for the coming days or weeks till further strength or weakness is observed. Swing Traders who trades range can consider positions at 3.70-3.72, with exit target 3.76-3.78.

Keppel DC REIT (AJBU): Expect price to trade towards S$2.00

  Keppel DC REIT (AJBU) Expect price to trade towards S$2.00 We have observed a decrease in technical supply at the S$1.80 support area during recent trading sessions. Furthermore, a softer interest rate outlook could be advantageous for the Data Centre operator.  Consequently, we anticipate the REIT to move towards our initial target of S$2.00, with the potential to reach S$2.20 if it breaks through resistance. Our stop level is set below S$1.72. Disclaimers Apply
