Hong Kong stocks resumed trading after a long holiday. The Hang Seng Index opened 48 points lower at 26,657, then fell as much as 348 points to 26,356, closing down 292 points or 1.09% at 26,413. The Technology Index fell 156 points or 2.9% to 5,211. Main board turnover was only HK$165.3 billion, the lowest since January 2nd this year. The true performance of the market will likely depend on the resumption of trading in mainland A-shares tomorrow.

The decline in Hong Kong stocks after the holiday was as expected, with the key level of 26,400 providing support. However, the Hang Seng Index closed lower on the daily chart, with a large bearish candle slightly breaking below the 50-day moving average (26,420), favoring the bears. The 100-day moving average (26,312) is expected to be tested. This level should hold; otherwise, the index may have to retest the lower end of the range at 25,000. If a short-term rebound occurs, the 10-day moving average (26,849) and the 20-day moving average (26,957) are expected to provide resistance.

With five trading days remaining this month, Wednesday is the peak rollover day for the current month's futures contracts, and Thursday is the settlement day. Therefore, large long positions may attempt a technical counterattack in the next two trading days. If the Hang Seng Index can regain and hold above the 10-day and 20-day moving averages, there is potential for further rebound.

Previously, large players have been battling between bulls and bears on the Hang Seng Index between 25,087 and 28,056, making a breakthrough unlikely in the short term. If market conditions improve, there will also be significant resistance near the top of the upward channel. Looking at the medium-term outlook, the weekly RSI, STC, and MACD indicators should all improve quickly to limit further declines in the short-term correction.

European stock markets performed well, with UK, French, and German stocks rising 0.56%, 1.39%, and 0.87%, respectively.

Despite a significant slowdown in the U.S. economy in the fourth quarter of last year, the U.S. Supreme Court's rejection of President Trump's global tariff policy spurred a volatile rally in U.S. stocks on Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average opened 72 points lower but rebounded immediately after the ruling, rising as much as 317 points to close up 230 points, or 0.46%, at 49,625. The S&P 500 rose 47 points, or 0.69%, to 6,909, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 203 points, or 0.9%, to 22,886.

The U.S. dollar index fluctuated, falling 0.17% to 97.76. The euro rose as much as 0.14% to $1.1791, while the yen fell 0.01% to 154.98 per dollar. Spot gold rose 1.96% to $5,094.17.
