Market is trading below the 2-year downtrend line. Today, we analyse the HSIF’s longer-term trend. Based on the weekly chart, we believe the market trend is considered negative. This is because the index is still holding below the 2-year downtrend line drawn in the weekly chart. This line consists of the highs of 2 Feb 2018, 12 Apr, and 10 May. We view last week’s white candle as a technical rebound only. That said, this negative sentiment is likely to remain unchanged, as long as prices are trading below the aforementioned downtrend line.

According to the weekly chart, we are eyeing the immediate resistance level at 28,400 pts, situated near the 2-year downtrend line above. If a decisive breakout arises, look to 30,336 pts – ie the previous high of 15 Apr – as the next resistance. Towards the downside, the immediate support level is seen at 25,949 pts, which was the low of 4 Dec. Meanwhile, the next support is anticipated at 24,791 pts, obtained from the low of 15 Aug.

However, based on our analysis of the daily chart, we advise traders to maintain long positions. This is because the market is holding above the 27,380-pt support mentioned in our daily chart. Please refer to our 26 Dec report for more details.
