Kuaishou Short-Term Analysis: Weak Rebound Driven by Keling Spin-off Catalyst; Key Resistance Zone Yet to Be Breached

Kuaishou-W (01024) closed at HK$45.82 on May 22, posting a modest gain of 1.82%, with trading volume of approximately HK$784 million. The stock showed its first sign of a rebound after consecutive days of decline. From a moving average perspective, the current share price remains below the 10-day MA at HK$49.21, the 30-day MA at HK$46.65, and the 60-day MA at HK$51.21. All three key short-term moving averages are above the current price, indicating the overall trend has yet to emerge from a weak posture. Although the short-term structure remains unrepaired, the stock has reclaimed the 30-day MA at HK$46.65—a mildly positive signal suggesting that while the sustainability of the rebound warrants observation, buyers are beginning to step in at lower levels. Regarding Bollinger Bands, the middle band is around HK$46.65, the upper band near HK$54.80, and the lower band at HK$38.50. The current price of HK$45.86 sits slightly below the middle band but still within the lower-mid section of the channel. Whether the price can steadily move back above the middle band following its rebound from the lower band will be key to determining if the short-term structure can shift from weak to neutral.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 42, placing it in a weak-neutral zone—neither overbought nor oversold—with momentum still leaning weak. Among multiple oscillators, the Williams %R is in oversold territory but generating a buy signal; the Stochastic Oscillator also issues a buy signal; the CCI indicator resides in the oversold range and similarly shows a buy signal. Collectively, these oscillators consistently point to a technical rebound need following oversold conditions, aligning with the recent price action where the stock rebounded after dipping to around HK$42.90. Momentum oscillators and rate-of-change indicators both generate buy signals; the Bulls vs. Bears Power indicator shows a buy signal; the Volume Ratio (VR) indicator signals buy; however, the MACD gives a sell signal, the Ichimoku Cloud indicates sell, and the Bollinger Bands suggest buy. The composite technical signal is strongly bullish, with a strength rating of 13, reflecting accumulating rebound momentum on the technical front.
Market News and Stock Price Correlation
Major brokerages generally maintain positive ratings. Goldman Sachs, in a report dated May 15, slightly lowered Kuaishou’s target price from HK$75 to HK$74 while maintaining a 'Buy' rating. The firm believes that spinning off Keling AI will diversify funding channels, alleviate balance sheet and cash flow pressure on Kuaishou Group, better align employee incentive mechanisms and talent retention strategies, and unlock value. It also noted that Keling AI’s current annualized revenue run-rate is outperforming both its own and market expectations. Orient Securities maintains a 'Buy' rating with a target price of HK$74.06, citing Keling’s leading capabilities and cost-effectiveness, its differentiation through native 4K video production focused on film and television, and strong downstream demand (e.g., AI-generated dramas) driving high growth in Keling’s Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). Citi also retains a 'Buy' rating, noting that while the valuation for Keling is aggressive, the spin-off effectively unlocks Keling’s intrinsic value, which explains last week’s sharp stock rally. Western Securities forecasts the company’s revenue for 2026–2028 at RMB 149.11 billion, RMB 159.85 billion, and RMB 167.86 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 4.4%, 7.2%, and 5.0% respectively, and maintains a 'Buy' rating.

Support and Resistance Level Analysis
On the support side, HK$42.90 serves as the first critical defense level. This corresponds to the recent low around May 22 and represents a key support zone below the Bollinger Bands’ middle band. If the stock pulls back from current levels, HK$42.90 will be the pivotal level to watch for determining whether the rebound has failed. HK$37 marks the second line of support, aligning closely with the Bollinger Bands’ lower band and frequently cited in market discussions as a deeper defensive level. The current price is roughly aligned with the 30-day MA at HK$46.65, placing the stock at a crucial inflection point. Holding above HK$46.65 and moving higher would gradually improve the short-term outlook.
On the resistance side, HK$50.10 represents the most immediate technical pressure point. This level lies just above the 10-day MA at HK$49.21. A sustained breakout above HK$50.10 would confirm that the short-term rebound is transitioning from weak recovery to genuine improvement. HK$54.80 is the next resistance level and coincides with the Bollinger Bands’ upper band, serving as a more distant upside target for the rebound.
Notably, the stock price rebounded from a low of HK$42.90 to HK$45.86, marking a cumulative gain of approximately 7%. However, it remains about HK$3.35 below the 10-day moving average at HK$49.21. Whether this rebound can continue hinges on whether the price can reclaim and stabilize above both the 30-day moving average at HK$46.65 and the 10-day moving average at HK$49.21. Current turnover stands at HK$778 million, showing some recovery compared to recent levels, yet still lags behind the volumes seen during previous market peaks, indicating that market participation has not fully returned—caution is warranted for short-term entries.
Review of Warrant Products
The Kuaishou warrants and bear certificates mentioned on May 20 recorded varying degrees of gains over the two trading days ending May 22. HSBC Kuaishou Bear Certificate (58325) $HS#KUASORP2811D.P (58325.HK)$ During this period, the underlying stock declined by 3.82% cumulatively, while this bear certificate surged 15% over two days, illustrating that bear certificates with knock-in levels set close to the spot price can effectively capture downward price volatility when the underlying stock retreats. UBS Group Kuaishou Bear Certificate (57723) $UB#KUASORP2812L.P (57723.HK)$ rose by 14% over the same period, closely following behind. Kuaishou Sun Hung Kai Put Warrant (17395) and Kuaishou Bank of China Put Warrant (17484) recorded gains of 11% and 10%, respectively. Among this group of products, the HSBC Bear Certificate (58325) stood out with a 15% gain, reflecting its direct responsiveness to the underlying stock’s decline as Kuaishou’s share price continuously corrected from above HK$50 down to around HK$42.90. This data suggests that when Kuaishou is in a downtrend, near-the-money put warrants and bear certificates can effectively capture downside moves in the underlying stock.

For bull certificates, UBS Group Bull Certificate (68639) $UB#KUASORC2609E.C (68639.HK)$ Call price at HK$41, leverage of 6.4x—the highest effective leverage and lowest premium—suitable if expecting a rebound after holding steady above HK$42.90.

On the bear certificate side, UBS Group Bear Certificate (59954) $UB#KUASORP2812M.P (59954.HK)$ has a call price of HK$51.50 and leverage of 5.9x—the highest effective leverage and lowest premium—suitable if expecting a pullback after failing to break above HK$50.10.

Overall, Kuaishou’s current technical structure exhibits characteristics of 'oversold bounce but still within a weak trend.' The share price rebounded from HK$42.90 to HK$45.86, with oversold technical indicators uniformly signaling a need for a rebound. However, the price remains below both the 10-day and 60-day moving averages, and the strength of this rebound still requires confirmation by trading volume. Koubei AI spin-off news has provided strong fundamental catalysts, and major brokerages generally maintain positive ratings, though market concerns persist over slowing core business growth and rising capital expenditures. For short-term strategies, range-bound trading is recommended: if support at HK$42.90 holds, watch for conditions enabling a continuation toward HK$50.10; if HK$50.10 is decisively broken and held above, there is potential to test HK$54.80 next; however, if HK$42.90 is breached, reassess downside risk, with the next support level seen at HK$37.
Which of the following levels do you consider the most critical short-term pivot point for Kuaishou?
A. HK$42.90 support level
B. HK$50.10 resistance level
C. HK$54.80 second resistance level
