How to view the post-holiday market trend in Hong Kong stocks?
Recently, Pop Mart's stock price rebounded strongly after hitting a near-term low. The market is watching whether its recovery to the 200 mark can be sustained. This analysis combines professional commentary from BOC International’s [BOC Guest] segment with the latest technical chart data to dissect short-term momentum driving the stock, key price levels, and corresponding leveraged investment strategies, providing investors with multi-dimensional insights.
Core Drivers: BOC Highlights Buyback Signals and IP Ecosystem Strength
The core driver of this rebound stems from positive changes in the company's fundamentals. Niki, Director at BOC International, clearly pointed out on the January 20 episode of [BOC Guest] that Pop Mart's management recently spent approximately RMB 250 million on share repurchases—the first time in nearly two years. This move signals 'management's confidence in the company’s future' and serves as a strong indicator of support for both the stock price and investor sentiment. It effectively addressed market concerns and became an essential foundation for the stock's short-term stabilization.
Meanwhile, the company's IP operation capabilities have withstood market tests. As noted by BOC International, although the popularity of some classic IPs experiences cyclical fluctuations, the new IP series 'Astro Boy' sold out quickly upon release and generated significant premiums, demonstrating the company’s robust ability to incubate and commercialize new products. This successful iteration and vitality of the IP portfolio provide another layer of growth narrative for the stock beyond the buyback program.

Technical Landscape: Precise Calculation of Key Supports and Resistances
From a purely technical perspective, the current stock price is within a defined trading range, where bulls and bears are battling around key levels.
* Core support area confirmed: The chart shows that the 190 level constitutes the first solid support in the near term, with the stock price recently retesting this area before bouncing back sharply. More importantly, a long-term trend support lies near 185, a level that has acted as a price turning point multiple times over the past year, carrying significant technical importance.
* Upside faces dense resistance zone: The current stock price is facing a severe test on its upward path. The primary resistance zone is located between 213-214, an area that consolidates previous consolidation highs and some short-term moving average pressures. If there’s a breakout with increased volume, the next target will aim towards the higher resistance zone at 227-230, a position mentioned as a potential technical target in the January 22 [HK Stocks Podcast] analysis.January 22nd [Hong Kong Stock Podcast] - Hang Seng Index, Tencent, Li Auto, Alibaba, Pop Mart, China Unicom
* Bullish-bearish indicators present a standoff: The overall technical signals currently summarize as 'neutral,' reflecting market hesitation. Although the stock price has moved above short-term moving averages, indicating a recovery in buying pressure, the medium to long-term moving average system still reflects a bearish alignment, exerting downward pressure. Therefore, whether volume can continue to expand to effectively break through the 214 resistance will be the key technical observation point in determining if this rebound can upgrade into a more substantial uptrend.

Leveraged Tools Review: Amplifiers of Market Sentiment
Warrants and bull/bear certificates, as leveraged tools tracking the performance of underlying stocks, often amplify market sentiment through their price fluctuations. A review of the performance of some products mentioned on January 20 over the following two trading days (up to January 22) clearly demonstrates this effect: when Pop Mart's stock rose by approximately 4.46%, certain bullish leveraged products saw significant gains. For example, UBS Group’s bull certificate (67949) and Bank of China’s bull certificate (65842) recorded increases of 21% and 20%, respectively; related call warrants such as Societe Generale’s call warrant (23404) $SGPOMRT@EC2704A.C (23404.HK)$ also rose by 13%. This intuitively illustrates the potential for enhanced returns that leveraged tools can offer during periods of clear market trends.

Tactical Deployment Combining BOC Insights and Price Levels
Based on BOC International's positive interpretation of fundamentals and considering that the current stock price is at a key technical level, investors can deploy differentiated derivative strategies based on their own judgment.
If you agree with BOC's bullish logic and aim to capitalize on a breakout, two types of products can be considered.
* Call warrants: Suitable for investors who do not wish their product to be redeemed early and are purely speculating on stock price increases. For example, UBS Group call warrant (23479) with a strike price at 240.12. $UBPOMRT@EC2605A.C (23479.HK)$ And BOC call warrant (23339). $BIPOMRT@EC2605A.C (23339.HK)$ , with its strike price set above the second resistance level (227-230), allowing room for anticipated upward movement in the stock price while providing approximately 5x effective leverage.
* Bull contracts: Suitable for investors with strong confidence in the key support level at 185 and seeking higher capital efficiency. For example, HSBC bull contract (68257) and BOC bull contract (65842) with respective recovery prices of 168 and 165. $HS#POMRTRC2607K.C (68257.HK)$ The recovery prices of these two contracts provide a significant buffer from the key support level, reducing the risk of forced redemption due to short-term stock price fluctuations while offering about 4x effective leverage.
If you anticipate that the rebound will face resistance and want to hedge against a pullback, consider the following strategies.
* Put warrants: For instance, Macquarie put warrant (22126) with an exercise price around 169.89. $MBPOMRT@EP2608A.P (22126.HK)$ This price is close to the lower boundary of the key support zone, serving as a tool to speculate on potential breakdowns below the support area.
* Bear contracts: For example, BOC bear contract (63329) with a recovery price set at 235. $BI#POMRTRP2807C.P (63329.HK)$ , positioned above the strong resistance level at 230, serves as a strategic choice for betting on a stock rebound to the resistance zone followed by a failure to break through and a subsequent downturn, offering about 5.8x higher leverage.
