The Hang Seng Index is showing a 'buy on price drop' signal, brewing for a technical rebound

On the previous day (March 19th), $Hang Seng Index (800000.HK)$

The index closed at 25,500.58 points, down 2.02% in a single day, with a trading volume of 306.214 billion yuan, continuing the recent weak and volatile trend.

In our 【HK Stock Report】, we commented on the Hang Seng Index: currently closing around 25,500 points. Observing the overall trend, after retreating from the high of 28,056, the index tested a low of 24,906, forming a clear short-term bottom area. Afterwards, a rebound occurred, but its strength was limited; multiple attempts failed to stabilize above 26,000 points, creating a typical weak rebound structure. The current price remains below the 20-day and 30-day moving averages (MA), with overlapping pressure lines indicating that the medium- and short-term trend has not yet reversed.

From a short-term structural perspective, the range between 24,900 and 25,100 has been verified by the market as an important support zone, while the range between 26,000 and 26,300 forms a significant resistance band. Based on the latest data, the Hang Seng Index’s near-term support 2 is at 24,575 points, support 1 at 25,098 points, resistance 1 at 26,151 points, and resistance 2 at 26,866 points. The index is currently in the lower-middle region between support and resistance, reflecting a lack of clear direction in capital flow. If the index fails to return above 26,000 points, the overall trend will remain a weak and volatile pattern; conversely, if it approaches 25,000 points again, the market will retest the strength of the previous low support.

From a short-term risk-reward perspective, there is currently no clear one-sided advantage. Upside potential is constrained by moving average resistance, while downside support remains intact, indicating a typical range-bound market.

The Hang Seng Index (HSI) technical indicator summary signal is 'Buy', with a signal strength of 8; the RSI is at 44, in the neutral range, and multiple oscillation indicators show neutral signals. Additionally, the HSI's 5-day volatility is 3.7%, with an upward probability of 48%, slightly below 50%, further confirming a short-term volatile, seesawing market structure.

Review and Selection of Hang Seng Index Warrants and Bull/Bear Products:

(I) Review of previous Warrant Bull/Bear performance:

Reviewing the Hang Seng Index-related CBBCs and bull/bear products recommended on March 13, they performed strongly: BOC Bull Certificate (68195) rose 41% in two days, BOC Bull Certificate (68351) increased by 38%, HSBC Call Warrant (23723) gained 18%, and UBS Group Call Warrant (23090) rose 15%. These significantly outperformed the Hang Seng Index's rise of 1.51% during the same period, capturing excellent leverage returns for investors focusing on derivatives.

(II) Hang Seng Index Warrant Selection:

Based on the Hang Seng Index's 'sharp drop indicates buy' technical pattern, we have selected two warrant products that align with short-term rebound expectations for investors' reference:

1. Hang Seng Index Guotai Call Warrant (26389): Actual leverage of 14.3, exercise price at 27,688 points. Its core advantage is the highest leverage, with the lowest premium and implied volatility. Suitable for investors optimistic about a short-term technical rebound in the Hang Seng Index who can tolerate some fluctuations.

2. Hang Seng Index BOC Bull Certificate (57737): Actual leverage of 19.5, exercise/recovery price at 24,218 points. Leverage is relatively high, suitable for investors expecting the Hang Seng Index to hold support at 24,900 points and potentially rebound.

Risk Warning: The Hang Seng Index remains in a weak volatile range. Even if a rebound occurs, its strength needs further confirmation. Investors participating in warrants and bull/bear contracts should assess their own risk tolerance, rationally control positions, and avoid blindly following trends.
