The Hang Seng Index opened 219 points lower at 26,627, then plunged as much as 436 points to 26,410 before gradually recovering in the afternoon, closing up 37 points or 0.14% at 26,885. The Tech Index rose 39 points or 0.74% to 5,406. Main board turnover was HK$315.1 billion.


Yesterday, the Hang Seng Index closed just below its 20-day moving average (26,895), indicating that investors are waiting for a gradual pullback to around 25,000 to 26,000 points before considering short-term rebound strategies. However, if it breaks above the 10-day moving average (27,117), investors will likely remain on the sidelines. This suggests that market sentiment has cooled significantly since the Hang Seng Index reached a recent high of 28,056 on January 29th. The index is expected to hover between 26,000 and 27,000 in the short term, with relatively low risk. Without clear upward momentum, it's advisable to observe the situation and gradually build positions by placing small bets at better entry points. Only consumer and banking stocks are recommended for accumulation.
