Alibaba has yet to break out from 77 resistance price levelChill, guys ,there is no need to get into FOMO just because there are plenty of conversations going on about buying Alibaba shares. Just look at the chart carefully, it has been in this consolidation stage since Oct 2023. Let the price breaks about 77 level and convincingly with a bullish signal , you can still go LONG . There is no guarantee that those who got in at 60+ price level will be making huge profits since no one knows : 1) how long the consolidation phase will last 2) undervalued shares can go under valued for a long time NO right or wrong strategy, some prefer confirmation and a higher margin of safety while others are already convinced of its fundamentals and are willing to ride out the volatility. Different folks, different strokes.

An Exciting Insight into FXOpen's New Hong Kong-listed Stock CFDLook East! An Exciting Insight into FXOpen's New Hong Kong-listed Stock CFDs Hong Kong has built up a gilt-edged reputation as one of the world's most reputable financial market centres. The city of Hong Kong enjoyed a unique position for many years. It is situated in the Asia Pacific region, very close to Shenzhen in mainland China, whilst being a global investment and banking leviathan. Hong Kong's stature as the 'New York of the East' alluded to the investment banking sector, global institutional trading venues and currency clearing capacity, which stood it out as a gateway to the world for Chinese companies as well as a gateway to the Eastern markets for European and American financial giants. Today, Hong Kong remains an interesting prospect; its stock markets are heavily focused on local APAC and mainland Chinese corporations, with a degree of volatility present ever since Hong Kong completed its transition to full Chinese governance. FXOpen has taken a further step in its commitment to providing access to the most poignant instruments across the world's financial markets and has now added* 29 stocks listed on the Hong Kong market. Today, we take a look at the most popular among these new instruments. 1) Tencent Holdings Limited HK Just a few kilometres away from the classically elegant city of Hong Kong is Shenzhen, the first Chinese metropolis that is reached after a short walk across the border into mainland China from Hong Kong. Shenzhen is a modern, plate-glass showcase of Chinese technological prowess and is home to Tencent Holdings Ltd, which is one of the largest multi-faceted technology companies in the world. In China, email is long obsolete, and everyone from CEOs of large corporations to teenagers in school communicates using either QQ or WeChat messengers, both of which are products of Tencent. Whilst Western authorities and business moguls wrangle over a potential deal between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard, disapproving of its size in which it would potentially create a gaming monopoly, Tencent dwarfs both firms in the video gaming industry. Tencent is one of the largest video gaming companies in the world. The company also produces smartphone applications as well as actual smartphones, payment technology, music streaming software, e-commerce platforms and advertising. Since it crossed the $500 billion valuation mark six years ago, Tencent has become the most highly capitalised company in all of China. Given the nation's industrial prowess, that is quite some accolade. 2) China Construction Bank Corporation HK Hong Kong's division of the China Construction Bank is a vital strategic outpost for the financial giant as it represents the firm's international business arm. The entity which became China Construction Bank HK has an illustrious 112-year history in the territory and was the first Chinese-owned bank to ever be established in Hong Kong under its original guise of Bank of Canton. Throughout the British era, the bank underwent many changes, including a stint as Bank of America in the early 1990s. In 2006, it was acquired by China Construction Bank, which is one of the four largest banks in Mainland China. Listed on Hong Kong's main market, the bank's stock tends to trade under the 5 HKD mark, making it accessible for many investors with a low entry barrier. 3) BYD Company Limited HK Among motoring enthusiasts and the car manufacturing establishment of the West, relatively new entrants into a long-established and conservative industry reliant on brand heritage and decades of engineering prowess or motorsport pedigree have often, over the years, been met with derision. BYD, one of China's most prominent motor vehicle manufacturers, is no exception. Motoring events, boardrooms at large motor manufacturers and special interest internet forums for car enthusiasts have often been awash with derogatory remarks or humorous quips writing off Chinese cars as somehow of inferior quality, the preserve of the uninformed or the transportation choice of the price-led who simply do not care what they drive. Well, it is not funny anymore. China has for many decades manufactured vehicles for its home market and done so very successfully, and BYD is one of the giants which produces cars, motorcycles, buses, trucks and construction equipment and is now exporting such vehicles worldwide. More recently, BYD joined the electric car battle for supremacy, and its modern, technologically advanced cars are selling well in countries other than China and competing against established European, American, and Japanese brands. Listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange, BYD's stock is of interest to investors who relish the company's expansion of marketing to an international audience. 4) Xiaomi Corporation HK Apple and Samsung may have dominated the smartphone hardware market in most regions of the world for almost two decades, but in China, things are somewhat different. In terms of the internet and the infrastructure that surrounds it, China is a world of its own. Most of the internet sites and services that are commonplace in other regions of the world are blocked in China, and China has its own highly sophisticated internet ecosystem, which relies on home-grown platforms, which are veritable giants. For this reason, Chinese smartphones are dominant, and Xiaomi is one of them. Indeed, Xiaomi's smartphone manufacturing capacity is so large that it's considered one of the largest manufacturers of smartphones in the world. More recently, Apple and Samsung have regained their crown, with Xiaomi in third place, but it is clear that these relatively new competitors from China are serious contenders in this established brand-sensitive market. The company operates in many sectors of the electronics industry, including computer software, television sets, drones, smart home equipment, household appliances and hardware, and even produces technology for the automotive industry. What is perhaps fascinating is that Xiaomi was only founded 14 years ago, yet it is vast, eclipsing electronics companies in other countries that have existed since Thomas Edison first discovered electricity. 5) Baidu Inc. HK Sticking with the internet theme, Baidu is next up. Baidu is often viewed by global pundits as the 'Google of China' as it is the basis for access to every area of internet services and online information in China. Google does not serve China, and most of the websites and online services that are in widespread use in other nations are not available in China, with a Baidu-orientated equivalent being available instead. Based in Beijing, Baidu is one of the largest internet and AI companies in the world, and is not only a mainstay of daily life for every Chinese citizen but is also a resource highly relied upon by the Chinese government's internet services division which monitors and controls activities in the country. China has the most sophisticated internet firewall in the world, which prevents access to many global sites and ensures almost total dependence on Chinese internet infrastructure. 6) Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China Ltd. HK Ping An is a widely recognised name across China, mostly due to its core activity as a retail banking giant which provides personal and business banking services as well as retail trading accounts. The company operates across more sectors than banking, however, and is actively involved in venture capital investment, especially in technology and internet-related firms offering financial products or developing financial technology, as well as more traditional areas of the financial services world, such as pensions and insurance. Ping An’s insurance division has a listed entity in Hong Kong whose shares have more recently been trading under the 40 HKD mark, making it an interesting instrument that has enjoyed more robust performance in the past. 7) CITIC Securities Company Limited HK It is one of China's most comprehensive investment banks. The company operates across the Chinese market in a similar vector to that of the giants of Wall Street across North America. Founded in 1995, the company provides services across the underwriting, research, brokerage, asset management, wealth management, and investment advisory sectors and is another fascinating Chinese pillar of strength given that it is only 29 years old compared with its similar-sized counterparts in the West which in some cases have been established since the days of the explorations to the new world in the 17th century. Over the past month, CITIC Securities HK stock has been sliding considerably, but given the overall size of the company itself and its intrinsic value to China's government-controlled financial markets system, it is interesting indeed. 8) Anhui Conch Cement Company Limited HK The construction industry in China has been leading the world for many years as a reference point for incredible efficiency and ingenious city planning. It has been possible to transform previously rural backwaters in central provinces into ultra-modern, highly productive cities with diversified industrial bases and luxurious living standards within just a matter of a few years. Multi-use buildings, high-speed trains capable of over 300km/h connecting these cities to other hives of activity across the country, nuclear power stations and giant commercial and residential real estate investment trends have punctuated China’s remarkable growth over the past two decades. However, there has been some over-exposure and, more recently, concern over the sustainability of the real estate market in China. Cement manufacturing has been a vital source of material for such a huge development boom; however, in February this year, Anhui Conch Cement Company Limited HK stock hit 1-year lows. An interesting move, considering that China is the largest economic superpower in the world and its production capacity remains on the increase; hence, manufacturing facilities and towns to support them may well continue to be built. 9) China Mobile Limited HK China Mobile is a telecommunications giant, which is interesting as a corporate entity due to its major shareholder being the Chinese government. State ownership, or majority shareholding by the state, is common among telecommunications and media entities in China, and China Mobile is the world's largest telecommunications network by number of subscribers and the largest telecommunications company in the world by revenue. That is quite some feat. Although it is a Chinese company these days, its origins are actually in Hong Kong as it was founded in 1997 in Hong Kong as China Telecom (Hong Kong) Ltd. China Mobile is yet another Chinese corporate giant that has risen to enormity in a relatively short time, and its stock is listed on the Hong Kong exchange, with buoyant performance in recent months. Whether one is looking to gain exposure to China's leading technology companies or the region's robust financial sector, these stocks present a varied array of trading opportunities within one of the globe's most dynamic markets. *FXOpen is adding Hong Kong stocks, which will take effect according to the approval of each specific regulator.

A buying opportunity for Yum ChinaFirst thing first, I am not buying , yet. I will watch it over the next few weeks to see if the price rebounds strongly from the support at 344 -350 level. There is a possibility that it may continue to head south to revisit the next support at 289.80. Remember the F&B business in China faces a lot of competition with new restaurants and menu being served up or turn around faster than you can imagined. The overall buying power in China is still weak as evidenced in the GXC and FXI ETF (rough guide). So be patient....

Ping An Insurance UpdateI am not so concerned about its property exposure since all big local banks in China have loans with the property developers. It is negligible at 1 over % compared to its insurance, tech, etc businesses. As a corporate, while its dividend of 8.8% may seems attractive, there will be a capital withholding tax of 17% compared to 8% net from LINK REITS. Of course buying in SG dollars , one will have to incur the foreign exchange loss (roughly around 2-3% ) after conversion. LINK Reit has wider geographical coverage compared to pure Singapore play which is what I like for diversification. I have a small position in PING AN but am monitoring its share price to catch a better price. No hurry to DCA. Please DYODD

1211 - 5 months HEAD & SHOULDERS══════════════════════════════ Since 2014, my markets approach is to spot trading opportunities based solely on the development of CLASSICAL CHART PATTERNS 🤝Let’s learn and grow together 🤝 ══════════════════════════════ Hello Traders ✌ After a careful consideration I came to the conclusion that: - it is crucial to be quick in alerting you with all the opportunities I spot and often I don't post a good pattern because I don't have the opportunity to write down a proper didactical comment; - since my parameters to identify a Classical Pattern and its scenario are very well defined, many of my comments were and would be redundant; - the information that I think is important is very simple and can easily be understood just by looking at charts; For these reasons and hoping to give you a better help, I decided to write comments only when something very specific or interesting shows up, otherwise all the information is shown on the chart. Thank you all for your support 🔎🔎🔎 ALWAYS REMEMBER "A pattern IS NOT a Pattern until the breakout is completed. Before that moment it is just a bunch of colorful candlesticks on a chart of your watchlist" ═════════════════════════════ ⚠ DISCLAIMER ⚠ The content is The Art Of Charting's personal opinion and it is posted purely for educational purpose and therefore it must not be taken as a direct or indirect investing recommendations or advices.

Tencent Major Trend ReboundHKEX:700 after years of down trend it is showing some sign of trend bottoming. Mainly supported by company share-buyback in the past few weeks. While selling pressure from the market is not strong to pull the price lower after each selling. This is indicating that the selling pressure is weak. Which supports the kick start of a bullish trend. In short term, the price movement continue to show bullish where the selling pressure erased with price marking back higher after sell down in the past 3 trading days. A short term rebound from recent retrace is on the way.

Build Your Dreams (BYD): Moving Higher!Build Your Dreams (BYD): HKEX:285 After closely examining the Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD, we've concluded that there is a very appealing and interesting opportunity to start building positions. We are currently in an overarching Wave III. Wave II concluded at the low of 13.20 HKD, and the all-time high is currently at 63.10 HKD. We are now likely in a Wave 5, which should coincide with the completion of Wave (1). Subsequently, a deeper correction to Wave (2) is expected, where we aim to place our next long-term entries, but we also want to place a short-term entry now. We have successfully completed Wave 4 and since developed Waves ((i)) and ((ii)). This Wave ((ii)) held precisely at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at 28.19 HKD, and we should not fall below this before completing the overarching Wave 5 or Wave (1). We should also surpass the Wave 3 high of 40.40 HKD.

Tencent's Rocket Ride: Heading for 1338 HKD? For Tencent Holdings, we currently believe we are in an overarching Wave III, which should be created with a 5-wave structure upwards. This should naturally extend far beyond the Wave I level at the all-time high of 715 HKD. We anticipate a rise to at least 1338 HKD for this overarching Wave III. Wave II concluded at 188.6 HKD. Zooming in, we see that we are about to complete Waves (1) and (3) and soon enter into the Wave (3). Wave (2), as we expect, might dip slightly further, to 241 HKD. However, we are convinced that we could be in a long upward trend. Therefore, we do not want to be stopped out prematurely, as it would be quite unnecessary. A double bottom at 188 HKD cannot be ruled out. Thus, we place our entry at the 50% extension for the very subordinate Wave ((v)) and just above the 78.6% retracement level for the subordinate Wave (2). This would create what's known as a Fibonacci retracement cluster, where there should be a significant buying potential. We will see how it unfolds in the coming weeks or days. Should there be a rise above 297 HKD, we may need to reconsider our stance.

Xiaomi: Next Big Bang on the Hong Kong Stock Market? For another interesting Chinese stock, we're looking at the mobile phone manufacturer Xiaomi, trading on the Hong Kong Exchange. Hence, we're dealing with the Hong Kong Dollar, not the US Dollar. Overarchingly, we are also in a Wave III here. Wave II concluded its correction with a double bottom at HK$8.28. This chart adheres well to the Elliott Wave structure, showcasing many patterns that align well. Currently, we believe we are in a subordinate Wave 3, having completed the subordinate Wave ((ii)) between the 61.8% and 78.6% levels. Unlike other stocks, we aim to place a market entry here, as we anticipate that we should not fall below the 78.6% level. Else we could come back to the low of 8.28 HKD.

buying at support level IS NOT a SURE WINPutting emotions aside about how unhappy, disappointed and frustrated with the China stocks, some people I spoke to are thinking to scoop more once the price reaches the support level. Just because it has rebounded on previous support level does not necessarily means it will do so in the future. It is possible, plausible and probable that it might falls through the support level and creates a new low. Nobody can tell you for sure. Do not buy just because you read some news that it is near the bottom but has no way to go except up. In Theory, maybe but in the changing world today and when top notch economists, professors and equity analysts have all gotten wrong about their predictions about China, what makes you think you will fare better ? Also, just because some groups are heavily shorting the market to take advantage of the sell off, just doing the opposite does not make you a contrarian. Put aside your egos and get rational about your decision to go LONG. How long are you prepared to hold this stock for ? Are you really going to be OK if it continues to drop another 10-20% ? No sleepless night ? Think Thrice. Take care of the downside from all aspects and leave the upside alone......

BYD: Engine Breakdown 🚘We consider the recent setback merely as part of the substructure of the magenta wave (1). This wave should lead to a sustained rise above the resistance line at HK$280.60. However, our 30% probable alternative scenario should also be noted. This would attest to the corrective nature of the upward movement that has been underway since February. Although the price should continue above HK$280.60 in this case, a significant sell-off should then set in, which would take the price to complete the green wave alt. below the support at HK$161.70.

Chicken wings and pizza fly on CNY periodUsing this as my last post for today, I am hoping the Chinese New Year starting tomorrow will usher in more revenue for KFC and Pizza Hut in China. Looking at the 4H chart, we can see a ultra bearish candle on 7 Feb with a gap up. Thus I am awaiting for the price to come back down to 292 support level to close the gap before deciding to go LONG. I also take this opportunity to wish all my followers and investors here a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year. May the year of Dragon bring forth more opportunities for us, provide us with more wisdom to do the right things (capital allocation, risk management, portfolio diversification,etc), good health and healthy relationships all year round.
