Bullish Stance On Hang Seng Index Futures Despite Mild Pullback
RHB Investment Bank Bhd (RHB Research) is keeping its long position on the Hang Seng Index Futures (HSIF), viewing the latest retracement as a healthy pause within an ongoing uptrend. On Friday, the HSIF slipped 198 points to close at 24,834, ending its recent upward streak. The index opened at 25,033 and briefly touched 25,060 before profit-taking pushed it to an intraday low of 24,779. It ended near the day's low, forming a bearish candlestick. However, during the evening session, the contract rebounded 103 points to 24,937. RHB Research stated that the pullback has not disrupted the bullish technical structure, as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains above 50% and the 20- and 50-day simple moving averages continue to trend upwards. It noted that as long as the index stays above 23,000 points, market sentiment is likely to remain in favour of the bulls. The brokerage advised traders to maintain the long position initiated at 21,416 on April 14, with a stop-loss at 23,000 points. Support levels are at 23,800 and 23,000, while immediate resistance is at 26,000, followed by 27,000.

Hang Seng Index Futures Slide For Fourth Session, Long Bias Above 23,000 Pts
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index Futures (HSIF) extended losses for the fourth consecutive session on Friday, falling 296 points to settle at 24,450 points amid persistent selling pressure and weakening bullish momentum. The index opened higher at 24,748 points, briefly touching an intraday peak of 24,831 points before reversing to hit a low of 24,437 points. It closed with a bearish candlestick pattern, signalling continued downside sentiment. In the evening session, HSIF fell further by 168 points, last trading at 24,282 points. RHB Research noted that the index is now trading below the 20-day simple moving average (SMA), while the descending Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates waning bullish strength. 'If the correction persists, we expect the index to drift lower towards the 23,800-point support,' the report stated, adding that a rebound could still emerge from this immediate support zone. Despite the weakness, the research house maintained its positive trading bias, provided the index holds above the 23,000-point threshold. Traders are advised to keep long positions initiated at 21,416 points on April 14, with a stop-loss level set at 23,000 points. Immediate resistance is seen at 26,000 points, followed by 27,000 points. The key support levels are pegged at 23,800 points and 23,000 points.
