The Hang Seng Index's high of 27,382 on October 2nd last year is considered the initial resistance level, while the high of 28,056 on September 29th presents even stronger resistance. However, a correction is expected today, testing the first support level of the 100-day moving average (26,322). A breach of this level could lead to a further decline towards 25,150. Technically, the Hang Seng Index rose 13,262 points from its intraday low of 14,794 points on January 22, 2024, to 28,056 points on January 29 this year. If the Fibonacci retracement level is adjusted to 0.382, the Hang Seng Index could fall as low as 22,986 points.
