$SMIC (00981.HK)$ The stock has remained weak post-earnings, hitting a low of HKD 51.8, the lowest level since September 2025. Observing the current trend, SMIC's share price remains under pressure and has clearly broken below all major moving averages, including the 10-day line (HKD 57.44), the 30-day line (HKD 63.13), and the 60-day line (HKD 68.81). These moving averages are in bearish alignment, forming layered resistance above and confirming that the intermediate downtrend is still dominating the market. The volatility over the past five days reached 11.2%, indicating intensified battles between bulls and bears during the decline.
However, beneath the surface of price weakness, a series of key technical indicators have issued strong oversold and potential reversal signals. Both the Stochastic Oscillator (KDJ) and the CCI indicator have clearly issued buy signals, suggesting that downward momentum may be overly exhausted in the short term, creating demand for technical recovery. The crucial RSI indicator has dropped to 29, entering the widely recognized "oversold" zone, which is typically seen as a technical warning sign of excessive market pessimism, increasing the probability of a stock price rebound. Additionally, momentum oscillators and bull-bear power indicators also suggest that the market might be brewing a bottom formation.
However, investors must treat these rebound signals with caution. Trend indicators such as MACD remain in sell mode, and the ADX indicator shows that the current downtrend has certain strength. This means any rebound will first need to face significant moving average resistance above. Key price zones are now clear: the first support level below is at HKD 49.9. If this level fails, there could be further downside towards the second support at HKD 44.2. On the rebound side, HKD 58.1 will be the first important test, near the 10-day moving average; if it breaks through, it could aim higher toward the HKD 64.8 pressure zone.
In summary, while SMIC’s intermediate-term trend remains weak, the short-term picture has become severely oversold, and conditions for a technical rebound are accumulating. The current price level is not suitable for blindly chasing downside bets. In terms of strategy, focus on the stock’s performance within the critical range of HKD 49.9 to HKD 58.1. If the price stabilizes around HKD 49.9 with supporting trading volume, combined with multiple oscillator buy signals, this could present a short-term rebound trading opportunity, with an initial target at the HKD 58.1 resistance level. Conversely, if the price breaks below HKD 49.9 with heavy volume, caution should be exercised against the risk of a deeper downtrend. The overall strategy should prioritize “cautious bounce plays” with strict stop-loss measures.
