HSI's ability to hold 23k by month-end
Watching $HSI closely here after today's dip. It closed at 23076.91, coming off a day that saw it touch 22978.59. The bounce from that intra-day low, even slight, is interesting. The overarching sentiment on China exposure remains murky, a factor that's been driving the choppiness. I'd put the probability of HSI staying above 23,000 by the close of the month at about 60%. The reasoning isn't purely technical; it's more about the market's current absorption capacity for negative news and the ongoing, albeit quiet, support from state-linked funds that tends to emerge around psychological levels during periods of broader uncertainty. There's enough capital still on the sidelines looking for entries if the selling pressure eases even marginally, which could provide that floor. Any significant escalation on the regulatory front or further property sector concerns, however, would obviously alter this outlook dramatically.
I'm not so confident about HSI holding 23k. The regulatory overhang coupled with property sector concerns makes me think we could see further downside pressure. What makes you lean towards 60%?
