The market conditions of Hong Kong stocks that rose first and then fell yesterday were not ideal, indicating that the counterattack intention of the short-term friends and big investors has increased, and the short-term friends should begin to converge their offensive. Whether the Hang Seng Index can rise above the high of 24,874 on March 19 is the key to the future market. The recent multiple attempts have failed to break through and stabilize above it, reflecting that the resistance at this level is not light.
