The Hang Seng Index opened 136 points higher at 25,634 and maintained its upward trend, rising as much as 248 points to 25,747 in the afternoon. It closed up 192 points, or 0.75%, at 25,690, marking its third consecutive day of gains. The Technology Index rose 60 points, or 1.12%, to 5,479. Main board turnover was HK$221.1 billion.
Hong Kong stocks improved, returning above the 10-day moving average (25,577). The Hang Seng Index found strong support around 25,145, the left shoulder of a triple bottom and the neckline of a double top, making a break below this level unlikely. A rebound to above 26,000 is possible, but with the holiday approaching, trading was quiet, and Chinese technology stocks lacked momentum. Therefore, the Hang Seng Index may not have much room for further rebound; the focus is instead on individual sectors, such as robotics concept stocks and international financial stocks.
In European stock markets, British, French, and German stocks rose 0.61%, 0.01%, and 0.37%, respectively.
