Hang Seng Tries to Hold Key Support Amidst Mixed Chinese DataThe relief rally of the past four-months fades as HKG33 concluded a four-week losing streak, leading to a challenge of pivotal support levels. The Hong Kong index tests the 38.2% Fibonacci of this year’s low/high advance, creating risk for a deeper correction towards the 61.8% level. China’s post pandemic recovery is bumpy, underscored by distressed property sector, subdued factory activity and weak domestic demand, with CPI hovering around zero for the past year. Today’s data showed a deceleration in industrial production to 5.6% y/y and another drop in house prices. Retail sales grew 3.7% y/y though, offering reasons for optimism. Furthermore, China’s real estate market may be in poor shape, but Beijing has found new growth pillars in electric vehicles, car batteries and solar cells. Adding to hopes for better days ahead, both the IMF and the World Bank recently upgraded their China GDP forecasts. HKG33 finds reprieve today and tries to hold the pivotal 38.2% Fibonacci and the 200 Days EMA (blue line. Successful effort will give it the opportunity to retake 18,736 and the chance to push for higher highs (19,794), but the latter has a higher degree of difficulty.

Fundamental Analysis: Strengthening the Case for a Long Position Beyond technical signals, several fundamental factors support the case for going long on the Hang Seng Index: Economic Resilience: Despite global economic uncertainties, Hong Kong has demonstrated resilience. The reopening of China's economy and the easing of COVID-19 restrictions are likely to boost business activities and investor confidence. Corporate Earnings: Companies listed on the Hang Seng Index have shown robust earnings growth, driven by strong performances in sectors such as technology, finance, and consumer goods. Positive earnings reports can bolster market sentiment. Government Policies: Proactive fiscal and monetary policies by the Hong Kong government and the People's Bank of China (PBoC) aim to stimulate economic growth. These measures include infrastructure investments, tax incentives, and monetary easing. Global Market Trends: The global shift towards risk-on assets, supported by accommodative monetary policies in major economies, creates a favorable backdrop for equity markets. As investors seek higher returns, the HSI stands out as an attractive option. Strategic Considerations for Investors Investors looking to capitalize on the potential breakout of the Hang Seng Index should consider the following strategies: Entry Points: Identify optimal entry points by closely monitoring the trend line. A decisive break above the resistance level, confirmed by volume and momentum indicators, can serve as a signal to initiate long positions. Risk Management: Implementing stop-loss orders and position sizing is crucial to managing risk. This protects against adverse movements and ensures that losses are contained. Diversification: While the HSI offers attractive opportunities, maintaining a diversified portfolio can mitigate risks associated with market volatility. Consider exposure to different sectors and regions to balance potential rewards and risks. Continuous Monitoring: The market environment is dynamic, requiring continuous monitoring of economic indicators, corporate earnings, and geopolitical developments. Staying informed enables timely decision-making and adjustments to investment strategies. The Hong Kong Hang Seng Index presents a compelling opportunity for investors willing to go long, particularly with the potential breakout of the short-term downward trend line on the horizon. By combining technical analysis with a solid understanding of fundamental factors, investors can strategically position themselves to benefit from the anticipated upward movement. As always, prudent risk management and continuous market monitoring are essential to navigating the complexities of the financial markets successfully.

Is there a need to panic for HSI?I get several questions regarding HSI , 2800 tracker fund ETF, etc and it seems some are panicking why the market is down for the last week or so. Firstly, the bearish trend has ended (hopefully) and we are up almost 33% from the low until the recent pull back of 8% which is quite normal for any stock market. Already, we know that the CCP has ushered many initiatives to prop up the stock market and the property market, though some analysts feel it is not enough. It takes time for these measures to see its effects so if you believe that this bull run is here to stay, then this drop of 8% presents a buying opportunity. If not, if you are one of the naysayers who feel that China/HK is uninvestable with its never ending bad news, please choose other markets that fits your investment horizon, risk appetite, etc. It is possible for the price action to return back to the bearish trend line though I think it is not probable as that would defeat all the hard work the government has done thus far. From relaxing its visa regulations to many countries to lowering the mortgage tax from 20% to 15%, limiting short selling and many others, we can see that the CCP means business this time. Maybe their speed is not to the liking of what we want - a bazooka of sort. My feel is the property sector will consolidate for a few years before we see a possible uptick as there are enormous surplus units that need to be settled. The property market remains sluggish and that is why I am not going in to pick up property investment stocks yet. Yes, cheap valuation can remains cheap for a long time but we had already witnessed the rise of many tech stocks rallying in the past 6 months - JD.com, Tencent, Meituan, Xiaomi, etc. They will be the forerunners followed by the consumer cyclicals later on . Rising tide will lift all boats but not at the same level, imo. I am vested so please DYODD

HK50 Future Market Outlook: A Good Entry Point with a 2:1 Risk-RThe Hang Seng Index (HK50) is currently showing signs of a potential upward trend, making it an attractive option for investors. Here are the key reasons why now could be a good time to enter the market, especially with a risk-reward ratio of 2:1. Technical Support and Resistance Levels Strong Support at the Bottom: The HK50 has recently demonstrated strong support at its current bottom levels. This indicates that the market has found a floor and is less likely to fall further in the near term. Previous High Breakout: The index has previously broken above significant resistance levels, indicating strong buying pressure and the potential for continued upward momentum. This historical breakout suggests that the market has the strength to overcome resistance and move higher. Risk-Reward Ratio 2:1 Risk-Reward Ratio: Entering the market at this stage with a 2:1 risk-reward ratio is a prudent strategy. This means that for every unit of risk, there is a potential to gain two units of reward. Such a ratio is favorable for investors, as it limits potential losses while maximizing potential gains. Controlled Risk: By setting a stop-loss order at the recent support level, investors can manage their risk effectively. If the market were to decline, the loss would be limited to the predetermined stop-loss point. On the other hand, if the market continues to rise, the potential gains would be twice the risk, offering an attractive return on investment. Market Sentiment and Indicators

Buying HK33HKD Oanda On An Up TrendRising demand for HK33HKD over several days on the Daily Time Frame based on the 6EMA. I bought HK33HKD on both my FTMO 10K Challenge Phase One and on my Oanda Main Account. Discount offered by seller at 6EMA on 4H Time Frame. Initial SL set is wide, because I want to give myself more time if I am losing, to decide if I want to exit for a small loss or win instead of having it as a full blown 1R loss. By setting my SL wide initially, my risk per pip becomes significantly smaller. Besides, I am risking about 10% per trade(based on my previous account size). If all is well, I will start trading 50$ SGD per trade next month. All is well = My account size reach 1k SGD(currently sitting on 906$ SGD) and that it is a new month. 0950SGT 20052024 Feeling groggy. Add : Now, instead of analysing the Daily Time Frame, first. I analysis the entry time frame first. Why? Because over the years I realised that i missed out on alot of opportunities that are better than the ones I am waiting for, because I analyse my watch list selections on the Daily Time Frame first. By doing a top down analysis, I miss out on strong trends that are not visible on the Daily Time Frame, because price could be in a range on the Daily, but it has yet to reach the Daily's Major S&R levels. And so, the trend on the entry time frame is tradable, but I missed it because I have already eliminated it during my selection phase. TLDR So, I am doing a bottoms up analysis from now on because I am missing out on trending opportunities on the lower time frame that is not visible on the higher time frame. 0954SGT 20052024

Relooking at HSI long term market trend35 years is a long time, twice of it makes a person already in their senior years. Most likely, in their 80-90s (if they still stick around) since most of us do not start investing at age 1. I was 18 years old had I invested in the stock market, especially HSI. Looking at the chart and the two recent fall out from the bullish trend (on hindsight) , I will still be up 948% had I hold so long , 35 years later ......... Of course, had I been exposed to the US market and equally started investing in 1987, my returns would be 1828% , near double of the HSI returns. WOW. WOW. WOW Let's not go into the individual stock pick where returns can be in the 5-6 figures like Apple (117056%), 3884% (Macdonald),500% (XAUUSD), 3047% (PG), etc So you see, investing is not rocket science and you need not spend endless nights analysing stocks and market leaders like some of these companies I mentioned cannot even beat the SPX index, with few exceptions. In short, I would still invest in both of these two indices, one with solid track record (SPX) and another sorely undervalued and with most negative news out of the way and China shoring up on stimulus programs to prop up the stock markets, it is a matter of time we start to see the index returning to its glorious days again. Ride the trend while it last........

Hong Kong shines in search of highsThe Asian indices got off to a strong start today. The Hang Seng Index (Ticker AT: HKIND) has broken out of the long-running downtrend channel in the direction of 9-month old price zones. Stocks returned to 15-month highs today as the Fed cut numbers may help or halt the market's evolution. Today we have as we said releases from the Vice Chairman and the President and CEO of the Cleveland (Ohio) Fed Philip N. Jefferson and the Loretta J. Mester. Beijing has reported a welcome cut in Chinese inflation, helping to undo concerns of prolonged deflation in the markets. The retail and industrial sales forecast put an end to that on Friday. The Chinese government has been able to sell 1 trillion yuan (128.045 billion euros) to maintain its domestic economic stimulus measures. Blue chips felt it the most with 0.1% growth. Even the Asia-Pacific market of the MSCI index grew by 0.1% unlike the Japanese Nikkei which fell by 0.3% due to the interest rate hike implemented by the Bank of Japan. Looking at the chart, the channel bounced off its January lows and has been building in a slightly bullish sideways movement. On April 18th the figure marked a strong move to the upside which coincides with the FED releases and the expectations that were held, turning the market upside down. Currently the market has touched the 19280 point zone and is looking to pierce the resistance zone indicated in green at 19437.89 points. If this zone is overcome, nothing will prevent the Chinese market to shine again at highs.

Surging of the first Uptrend ResistanceBased on the Daily chart, HSI has surged alot since end of April 2024, now we are going to check when is the next resistance, or further resistance. Based on Fib i drew, until today, it hit R1, which was the support during Aug 2023. Breaking R1, next resistance will be around 20240, this is a major resistance as it was the peak during Aug 2023, Jun 2023, May 2023. Seeing the RSI is 69.xx today, so expecting if reaching R2 will be exceeding 70, based on previous history, it will U turn and heading down. HSI is still uptrending, when it retraces, and able to perform 2nd uptrend, this is the time when the bull starts. So, just my 2 cents. Happy charting.

China Recovery BetFundamentals & Sentiment HK50: - China recovery, based on PMI and GDP QoQ - The latest China Trade Balance printed decently above the previous one (although below consensus) USD: Yesterday's cooling US labor market, based on Initial Jobless Claims increase Technical & Other *Chose HK50 instead of ChinaA50 because of smoother price action; eventually HK turned out to be stronger because of the dividend tax cuts for individuals who bought HK shares. China A50 seems to be more vulnerable to geopolitics, like China tariffs in the US.

The Hang Seng Index Has Risen by Over 13% in 2 WeeksThe Hang Seng Index Has Risen by Over 13% in 2 Weeks Analyzing the Hang Seng (Hong Kong 50 at FXOpen) chart, we wrote on January 30th that the price was near an important support level formed by the lower boundary (shown in orange) of a long-term channel, which has been relevant since 1995. According to Reuters, Goldman Sachs representatives noted in a client note that hedge funds were actively buying Chinese stocks – the period from January 23 to 25 saw the largest capital inflow in 5 years. As of the beginning of May, price action suggests that hedge fund purchases are justifiable – with the Hang Seng 50 (Hong Kong 50 at FXOpen) index rising by over 13% in the past two weeks. This was partly driven by: Economic stimulus from Beijing. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority's (HKMA) decision to keep the base rate unchanged at 5.75%. As reported by the South China Morning Post, HKMA's decisions correlate with the Federal Reserve's policy since 1983, reflecting the local currency's peg to the US dollar. Technical analysis of the Hang Seng (Hong Kong 50 at FXOpen) weekly chart shows signs of bullish strength: The HSI price (Hong Kong 50 at FXOpen) remains within the orange long-term channel. After fluctuations in January 2024 around the psychological level of 16,000 points, the price stabilized above this level. In mid-April, bears attempted to breach the psychological level of 16,000 points but failed. The last two closed candles on the chart were bullish, with wide bodies closing near the highs – indicating demand dominance. If bulls maintain control, the HSI price (Hong Kong 50 at FXOpen) could break above the upper boundary of the descending channel (shown in red) and open up prospects for a significant rally.
