With the long holiday approaching and relatively weak overseas markets, the market is expected to continue to fluctuate in the short term. However, there is no need to be overly pessimistic about the future of Hong Kong stocks, especially given the support at the 100-day moving average (26,310). It is expected to fluctuate around this level before the holiday. With only half a day of trading remaining today, and the mainland's Lunar New Year holiday lasting nine days, northbound capital is expected to return on February 24th. Reduced trading volume is expected to affect the chance of a breakout. Investors are advised to make their plans after the holiday. Be aware that northbound capital may be taking profits above 27,000 points. If Hong Kong stocks are pushed higher after the New Year holiday, be wary of potential risks.
