EQD | The HSI Rally: Go LONG Now or Wait?
- In our previous insight about the Hang Seng Index‘s we theorized a probable continuation of the rally in October, after some resistance, but the index just shoot up straight.
- Resistance appeared last week, from an area considered a tail by our SHORT model, so it was not possible to make a forecast from there.
- The question now is: can the index re-start to rally from here? Or will it pull back more this coming week?
