EQD | Hang Seng Index (HSI) WEEKLY Looking for Short-Term Direction
- The Hong Kong Hang Seng Index (HSI INDEX) has been in a downtrend since January 2018. Long-term direction unclear, but the WEEKLY period is mildly OVERSOLD, it may bounce soon.
- The case for a LONG trade is valid if the market does not fall > 2 consecutive weeks from June 30th’s Close (18916.43). High-probability LONG trades from 17786.
- SHORT trade strategy possible but requires patience: if the market rises, it could rise for 2-3 weeks, based on MRM’s pattern readings. Better wait and short that scenario, not earlier.
