[Hong Kong Stock Podcast] Hang Seng Index, Xiaomi Group, BYD, Ping An, COSL, Trip.Com - Post-market analysis on February 11

: Divergence between bulls and bears emerges, focus on time horizon and key levels

Simon: Today, the Hong Kong stock market's Hang Seng Index experienced a slight upward movement, closing at 27,274 points with a gain of 0.31%, continuing its modest upward trend. However, trading volume showed a further decline. Although the index posted a small gain, the ongoing shrinkage in trading volume has become a potential concern for the market, and subsequent movements need to be closely monitored.

Investors in the current market are showing clear divergence in their views on the market performance after the Lunar New Year, with the core of the disagreement stemming from differing interpretations of investment time horizons. Bullish investors are optimistic about the post-holiday market and believe that the Hang Seng Index could rise to 28,500 points, prompting them to position themselves with bull contracts. On the other hand, bearish investors, based on the logic of recent shrinking trading volumes, worry that the current minor uptrend may not be sustainable and choose to hold bear contracts with a recovery price of 28,100 points overnight as a hedge. These two viewpoints do not fundamentally conflict; they merely represent market judgments over different time frames, reminding investors to focus on the corresponding time horizon when interpreting market views.

From a technical analysis perspective, sell signals currently dominate, with the ratio of sell to buy signals being 10:3. In terms of support levels, the key support for the index is at 26,700 points, and if this level is broken, the index will likely drop to 26,100 points. As for resistance levels, 27,700 points is an important short-term resistance point, and if successfully breached, the index could further rise towards 28,300 points, approaching the bullish investors' target of 28,500 points.

Xiaomi Group-W (01810.HK): Stock rebounds, testing the 40-yuan mark, divergence in put warrant positioning

Simon: Xiaomi Group-W shares saw a significant rebound today after experiencing a substantial decline previously, closing at 37.1 yuan. The stock price approached the upper Bollinger Band during the session, and trading volume also increased accordingly. Some investors remarked that this rebound was uplifting and expressed interest in whether the stock could return to the cost price of 40 yuan.

In terms of stock movement, for Xiaomi Group-W to reach the 40-yuan target, it needs to break through two key short-term barriers: the first barrier is at 38.8 yuan, and if successfully surpassed, the stock price could further rise to 39.7 yuan, nearing the 40-yuan mark. Meanwhile, some investors seeing the stock's rise to higher levels opted to reverse their positions by placing put warrants (exercise price at 32.16 yuan) for bearish operations, believing that the recent stock price increase has been substantial, posing a risk of pullback.

Looking at the market’s put warrant product positioning, there is a notable difference in suitability among products with varying terms: put warrants with an exercise price around 35 yuan will expire in April this year, suffering high time decay and thus not recommended. Products with an exercise price near 36 yuan have an expiration date in July, offering a relatively suitable term but limited options available, with only one currently fitting the criteria. Put warrants with an exercise price around 32 or 33 yuan will expire in June this year, providing more market choices, but based on the closing price, their out-of-the-money extent is already around 10% to 13%, which requires careful consideration due to the high out-of-the-money range. Overall, the current Xiaomi put warrant market predominantly consists of products with an exercise price around 32 yuan and an out-of-the-money extent of 13%, and investors need to pay close attention to the issue of their high out-of-the-money range.

BYD Co., Ltd. (01211.HK): Stock approaches 100 yuan, faces a challenge at 110 yuan, optimal call warrant selection favors long-duration low-range products

Simon: BYD Co., Ltd.'s stock price performed impressively today, touching 100 yuan during the session and finally closing at 99.15 yuan. Over the past few trading sessions, the stock has shown a continuous upward trend. Investors are widely watching if the stock can stabilize above the 100-yuan level and further challenge the 110-yuan target.

Based on technical signals and stock movement, BYD Co., Ltd.’s technical signals are neutral without a clear directional guide. To reach 110 yuan, the stock must overcome two key resistance levels: the immediate short-term resistance is at 103.1 yuan, and if broken, the stock could rise to 108.1 yuan, moving closer to the 110-yuan target. Bullish investors opt to place call warrants, with some holding call warrants with an exercise price of 112.1 yuan.

For selecting call warrant products, those with a strike price around 106 yuan expiring in August are optimal, with 7-8 such products available in the market. Some offer leverage up to 5.2 times, with an out-of-the-money percentage of just 7.9%, making them relatively well-suited options. Investors should compare across multiple dimensions when choosing. Products with higher strike prices have out-of-the-money percentages exceeding 10%, resulting in lower cost-effectiveness. Additionally, while there are nine products with strike prices around 110 or 112 yuan, they suffer from both high out-of-the-money percentages over 10% and early April expiration dates, leading to significant time decay for these short-dated products, thus not recommended for investment.

Overall, selecting call warrants should prioritize longer-dated products: if the underlying stock exhibits sideways or downward movements, products with high out-of-the-money extents and nearing expiry can see significant price declines, while longer-term products experience relatively lower time decay, effectively reducing the loss in value of holding warrants.

Ping An (02318.HK): Narrow fluctuations + low trading volume, bearish sentiment rises, focus on support level performance

Simon: Ping An's stock price has remained in a narrow range recently. On the daily chart, the fluctuation range is maintained between the middle and upper bands of the Bollinger Bands. Today’s closing price was 72.5 yuan, with a slight pullback in the stock price, and trading volume fell to a recent low, almost hitting the lowest point since January this year. Low trading activity has become a key feature of the current stock price trend.

The market's bearish sentiment towards Ping An has slightly increased. Some bearish investors believe that the stock needs to pull back from its high to 69 yuan before a new upward trend can begin. Market attention on support levels has also risen. From a technical analysis perspective, Ping An's short-term key support level is at 70.1 yuan, which is just below the middle band of the Bollinger Bands. If this support is broken, the stock is likely to drop to 67.5 yuan. In terms of technical signals, sell signals dominate, with a sell-to-buy signal ratio of 10:5, further reflecting the current bearish market sentiment.

Five: COSL (02883.HK): Stock price hits new highs, divergence between price and volume emerges, upside potential remains a checkpoint

Simon: COSL had a strong stock performance today, reaching a new high of 9.57 yuan during the session, and closing at the same price of 9.57 yuan, successfully breaking through the upper band of the Bollinger Bands. However, contrasting with this bullish performance, today’s trading volume saw a slight decline compared to yesterday, indicating a divergence between price and volume. Investors are closely watching its subsequent upside potential.

From a technical standpoint, despite the continuous breakout of new highs, technical signals remain bearish, with short-term sell signals dominating, suggesting investors should not be overly optimistic about the short-term trend. In terms of resistance levels, 9.83 yuan is a key short-term resistance level. If the stock price can break through this point, it may reach the 10-yuan mark. Additionally, looking at the weekly and monthly charts, the company’s stock price has broken through the upper bands of the Bollinger Bands across different time periods. The simultaneous upward movement on the daily, weekly, and monthly charts necessitates investor caution regarding potential pullback risks.

Six: Trip.Com-S (09961.HK): Stock lingering at lows, anticipation of Spring Festival data; bottom-fishing requires stabilization; bull warrants see reversal strategy

Simon: Trip.Com Group-S stock price has been relatively low since mid-January, with trading remaining sluggish. Previously, the stock price rose above 610 yuan, but over the past month, it has been oscillating at lower levels. Today's closing price was 446.2 yuan, hitting an intraday low of 442 yuan. Although there was a slight recovery today, overall, it has not yet moved out of the lower range. Market investors are hopeful for positive tourism data during the Spring Festival holiday and are also considering whether the current level is suitable for bottom-fishing.

From a technical perspective, the current closing price of the company’s stock is close to the lower band of the Bollinger Bands, with buy signals slightly outweighing sell signals. The short-term key support level is at 431 yuan. If this level is broken, the stock is likely to test 395 yuan, implying a significant potential decline. Therefore, this is not the optimal time for bottom-fishing, and it is recommended that investors wait for the stock to stabilize before making strategic moves. In the warrant market, some investors have chosen to reverse their positions and hold bullish warrants with a recovery price of 400 yuan, betting on a subsequent rebound in the stock price.
