The Hang Seng Index opened 182 points higher at 25,833, reaching its intraday high, before fluctuating downwards, falling as much as 309 points to 25,341.

Hong Kong stocks fell again yesterday and are expected to rebound today. Unless the Hang Seng Index quickly returns above its 250-day moving average (25,621), it will likely continue its downward trend with lower highs. Currently, the Hang Seng Index daily chart shows the upper Bollinger Band at 26,600 and the lower band at 25,500. Major technical indicators are bearish, making it premature to say the decline in Hong Kong stocks has ended. However, many traditional stocks have low valuations and decent dividends, which should provide a floor and limit the Hang Seng Index's decline. Yesterday's recent low of 25,341 points may hold.
