Hang Seng Index Futures Rally Cools, But Bulls Still In Charge
RHB Investment Bank Bhd (RHB Research) is maintaining a positive trading bias on the Hang Seng Index Futures (HSIF) despite a pullback, urging traders to stay on long positions. The index slipped 134 points to close at 23,383 pts on Thursday, after reaching an intraday high of 23,651 pts. The evening session saw further losses, with the index falling another 148 points to last trade at 23,235 pts. RHB Research reported that the bearish candlestick with a long upper shadow indicates profit-taking is emerging, signalling waning buying pressure following a strong rally. However, the index remains above its 20- and 50-day simple moving averages (SMA), suggesting the broader trend is still intact. 'The pause in upside momentum may lead to a consolidation phase,' RHB Research noted. 'But as long as the HSIF stays above the 22,000-pt support, bulls will retain the technical advantage.' Traders are advised to maintain long positions from the 21,416-pt level (April 14 close), with a stop-loss at 22,000 pts. Immediate resistance levels are set at 24,500 pts and 26,000 pts, while support sits at 22,000 pts, followed by 21,000 pts. Related

Long Position Maintained On Hang Seng Index Futures Despite Pullback
RHB Investment Bank Bhd (RHB Research) is maintaining its long position on the Hang Seng Index Futures (HSIF), despite the index snapping a four-day winning streak with a 373-point retracement to close at 23,027 points yesterday. The index opened higher at 23,419 points, hitting an intraday high of 23,505 points, before succumbing to profit-taking pressure and dipping to a low of 22,986 points. A fresh bearish candlestick formed at the close, but during the evening session, the HSIF pared some losses and last traded at 23,288 points. Despite the pullback, RHB Research noted that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains above the 50% mark, indicating continued bullish momentum. The 20-day and 50-day simple moving averages (SMA) are still sloping upwards, supporting the medium-term uptrend. 'As long as the index holds above the 22,000-pt support level, the retracement is viewed as a healthy consolidation within an ongoing uptrend,' RHB Research reported, which has maintained a positive trading bias. The long position, initiated at 21,416 points on 14 April, is being held with a stop-loss set at 22,000 points. Immediate resistance is at 24,500 points, with a higher resistance level seen at 26,000 points. Key support levels remain at 22,000 points and 21,000 points. Related
