Technical Analysis

Hang Seng TECH Index / Technical Analysis

HK tech index formed a dual bottom at 5,900 above our buy support at 5,600 with constructive price action building. We like buying weakness in October to challenge and clear the first hurdle at 6,900 (breakout pivot).Risk on momentum in the US and Asia is bleeding into unloved markets like Korea and HK. Our bet was to buy risk in mid October for a rally into November.MACD bull divergence stands out (when MACD does not confirm new index lows as selling pressure exhausts), warning of a short squeeze unfolding.Tuesday/Wednesday price action shows bullish characteristics to challenge the 6,900 pivot barrier. Target lies at 7,400/500 intermediate tough resistance.
