How to view the post-holiday market trend in Hong Kong stocks?
Hello everyone, today (February 9) let’s take a look at the heavyweight blue-chip stock AIA (01299). The share price is holding firm, currently trading at HKD 86.1, up approximately 3.11%. Looking at the trend, the stock seems to be consolidating in a key area, with resistance from converging moving averages above and support below. As one of the pillars of the Hong Kong stock market, every move it makes impacts the broader market sentiment. Does this recent rebound suggest that it has digested earlier pressures and is ready to resume an upward trajectory? Do you think the trend of capital flowing back into old economy stocks will continue? Let’s analyze this right away.
In terms of technical analysis, we’re seeing a typical picture of pending change. The RSI is at 51, almost at the midpoint, reflecting a balanced tug-of-war between bulls and bears. Notably, the overall technical indicator signal is “neutral,” but with a strength score of 9 out of 10. A closer look at individual indicators shows that the Rate of Change and Bull/Bear Power indicators are signaling “buy,” while Bollinger Bands also indicate support; however, MACD remains at “sell,” and the VR volume ratio stays neutral. With so many mixed signals, how would you interpret this? Does it mean the stock price needs more time to fluctuate within the range until one side gains dominance?
On a practical level, the importance of support and resistance levels goes without saying. Current key support levels are at HKD 82.6 (near MA60) and HKD 79.3. Above, resistance is seen first at HKD 89, then at HKD 92.3. The current stock price is slightly below MA10 (HKD 88.35) and MA30 (HKD 85.1); to regain strength, it first needs to stabilize above HKD 85.1 and break through the HKD 88.35 mark. The 55% probability of an upward move reflects only slight optimism.

Looking back at product performance, at the beginning of this month (February 3), when market sentiment was subdued, the bear warrants and put warrants mentioned performed well. For example, Societe Generale Bear Certificate 54262 and J.P. Morgan Bear Certificate 53246 recorded gains of approximately 7% and 6%, respectively, three days later, while Bank of China Put Warrant 22385 also saw about a 5% gain. This demonstrates that even in a corrective market, bearish instruments can provide opportunities. Times have changed, and now the market conditions have shifted—what does product selection look like now?
In terms of warrants and bull/bear certificates, the market offers a wide range of choices for both bullish and bearish strategies. If you believe AIA has bottomed out, consider the following bullish tools:
HSBC call warrant 29501: Leverage of approximately 10.5 times, strike price of 88.88 yuan, characterized by relatively low implied volatility.
BOC call warrant 17336 $BI-AIA @EC2604B.C (17336.HK)$ : Leverage of approximately 11.3 times, strike price of 88.93 yuan, its advantage being the lowest premium and implied volatility, offering a more attractive theoretical cost.
For bull contracts, there is UBS Group bull contract 63988 $UB#AIA RC2606G.C (63988.HK)$ (recovery price 73 yuan) and J.P. Morgan bull contract 64101 (recovery price 72 yuan), with actual leverage of approximately 6.4 times and 6 times respectively; the former has the lowest premium while the latter offers the highest leverage.
If you believe the rebound is weak and the market outlook remains bearish, then there are bearish options available:
BOC put warrant 22385 $BI-AIA @EP2612A.P (22385.HK)$ : Leverage of approximately 4.1 times, strike price of 77.88 yuan, characterized by the lowest implied volatility combined with high leverage.
UBS Group put warrant 24372 $UB-AIA @EP2612A.P (24372.HK)$ : Leverage of approximately 4.1 times, strike price of 77.83 yuan, with ideal leverage and implied volatility.
On the bear certificate side, HSBC's bear certificate 62423 (strike price at HKD 99) and J.P. Morgan's bear certificate 64159 (strike price at HKD 97) are worth considering. The former offers the highest actual leverage, while the latter has the lowest premium.


With so many options available, what is your preference?
Technical indicators continue to show a stalemate. Bullish and bearish indicators are divided. Future market direction may depend not only on technical breakthroughs but also more on macroeconomic data, interest rate expectations, and the company’s own business growth momentum. How do you assess AIA's profitability and valuation under the current interest rate environment? Feel free to share your valuable insights.
