The Hang Seng Index opened 145 points higher at 25,489 before fluctuating, falling as much as 330 points to 25,013. The index ended the day down 284 points, or 1.12%, at 25,058. The Tech Index fell 104 points, or 1.84%, to 5,578. Main Board turnover reached HK$302.2 billion.


After five failed attempts to break through the 26,000-point mark, the Hang Seng Index finally fell below its 20-DMA (25,260) and is expected to test support at its 50-DMA (24,894). Further gains are expected after consolidation is complete. Rumors that financial authorities are planning multiple measures to curb stock market speculation further cooled the mainland and Hong Kong stock markets yesterday. Furthermore, with the peak earnings season having passed, the market is currently lacking any new news to support a breakthrough. The market remains on the sidelines regarding the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision and tariff news, leading investors to adopt a cautious approach. Hong Kong stocks face limited upside potential, with individual stocks primarily performing. The Hang Seng Index is expected to fluctuate primarily between its 20-DMA and 50-DMA. 


Beware of a potential plunge in US stocks after a confirmed rate cut, potentially dragging down Hong Kong stocks. If the Hang Seng Index falls below its 50-day moving average, it could potentially fall to 23,375 points. This is because: Based on the golden ratio, the Hang Seng Index rose from its April low of 19,260 to its recent high of 25,918, a cumulative increase of 6,658 points. A 0.382-fold correction would reach 23,375.


European stock markets saw mixed performance, with the UK and German stock markets closing up 0.42% and 0.74%, respectively, while the French stock market fell 0.27%.
