Technical Pulse: Hang Seng Index July 8, 2020 725

Hang Seng Index spectacular rise is still going strong after prices broke the psychological resistance at 25,000 last Thursday. However, based on the technicals, we will be looking for a downside correction to retest the support level:

  1. The formation of a potential 5-wave broadening wedge signifies that the (C) wave has topped out after prices were strongly rejected at 26,500 resistance level on the 7th of July 2020.
  2. The formation of the dark cloud cover candlestick reveals strong reversal ahead. To add on, the dark cloud cover rejects the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the immediate swing high-low of 21,139.26-28,000.02.
  3. For the (D) wave to be complete, the sell down must occur to coincide with the wave structure.

 

*The technical call is valid only for 3 weeks.

* The broadening wedge formation consist of 5 waves labelled ABCDE. Each wave consist of 3 sub-waves and E wave normally indicate the last leg of the directional move. Hence, the upside of the Hang Seng Index is more of a corrective move rather than a bullish impulse.
