Rebound after retesting the top of descending triangle? Previous H&S idea was invalidated, the price went testing the top of the descending triangle and seems to find some bid there. If we can rally from here we could visit again the range 14'750-15'000. If the price closes back below the triangle look for bearish continuation.
China50
The Dragon Bouncing BackSwift dismantling of zero-Covid policy in China has triggered a surge in demand resulting in robust economic recovery. Is this a flash in the pan or a structural shift?
Bouncing off from 2022 bottom in early November, Chinese equities (represented by FTSE China 50 Index, "China50 Index") rallied 64% on COVID easing. The rally has stalled based on specific sector weaknesses causing a 12% correction in February.
This paper argues that record revenues (over CNY holidays in January), anticipated pro-growth Government stimulus, record-levels of consumer savings, and loose monetary policy will collectively drive Chinese equities higher.
A long position in CME’s E-Mini FTSE China 50 Index futures will deliver a reward-to-risk ratio of 2.35x while riding this economic shift.
SECOND LEG OF RE-OPENING TO LEAD TO RECOVERY
Five reasons support our bullish stance on Chinese equities:
First, favourable technical signals. Stalled rally plus weak sentiments have caused the markets to retrace 12%, leaving it right below a key Fibonacci retracement level. This suggests that the FTSE China 50 Index could continue its upward trajectory in 2023 as reopening turns into recovery.
Second, pro-growth fiscal policies. Investors hold high anticipation of upcoming National People's Congress (NPC) scheduled for early March. During the “Two Sessions,” the government is expected to make pro-growth policy announcements to boost the economy.
Historical analysis shows that the Two Sessions (NPC plus top political advisory body meeting) tend to provide solid tail winds to the stock market. Shares have previously rallied ahead of the meetings and afterwards as investors digest the news. Over the last decade, real estate & healthcare shares delivered the largest excess returns following these meetings.
Third, accommodative monetary policies. Meanwhile, PBOC added liquidity into the financial system to meet a rapid rebound in loan demand. PBOC kept short-term & long-term Loan Prime Rate (LPR) unchanged for the sixth straight month. Short-term LPR was at 3.65%. Long-term LPR (used to calculate mortgage rates) was at 4.3%. Both are at their lowest level in 20 years as China tries to balance economic growth and currency stability.
Fourth, revenge spending. Forced to stay home due to Covid restrictions & unable to spend, Chinese consumers saved one-third of their income last year, depositing RMB 17.8 trillion (USD 2.6 trillion) into banks. Even for a thrifty nation like China, that's massive. With restrictions gone, will Chinese consumers revenge to spend their excess savings?
Finally, valuations of Chinese shares are seemingly still in bulls’ favour despite the reopening rally. The MSCI China Index is trading at 10.9x forward P/E, below the 10-year average of 11.2x.
In tandem with equity market price retracement, China centric commodities such as Iron Ore and Copper have also stalled. But are looking to rise again.
ECONOMIC DATA PAINTS A HOPEFUL FUTURE AHEAD
Economic data from China show positive signs of economic recovery in 2023. Purchasing Manager Index (PMI), an important leading indicator of business activity, rebounded sharply in January.
GOVERNMENT PRIORITIZING ECONOMIC GROWTH
The Chinese government has announced stimulus packages to support its struggling Real Estate and Tech Sectors. For instance, Guangzhou recently committed $29 billion to local tech funds to inject capital into high-tech sectors.
The government also announced a 21-point plan in January to boost property developer’s balance sheets with $67 billion in aid.
Moving in tandem with pro-growth Government accommodative fiscal policy, the PBOC continues its commitment to accommodative monetary policy by keeping key short- and long-term Loan Prime Rate (LPR) at their lowest level in almost two decades to boost growth.
However, this monetary stimulus comes at the cost of rising inflation in the country.
PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS ARE BULLISH CHINA AGAIN
In a note recently published by Goldman Sachs, the bank expects Chinese stocks to surge as much as 24% by the end of this year as the economy shifts from reopening to recovery.
The bank highlighted that "professional speculators" on their prime brokerage platform are showing a greater appetite for Chinese stocks.
Goldman highlighted that hedge funds had substantially re-risked their exposure in offshore Chinese equities with net Chinese exposure to total equity exposure reverting to all-time highs.
FOREIGN INVESTORS ARE BULLISH CHINA TOO
HKEX's Stock Connect program’s north bound flows shows that foreign investors heavily bought into Chinese equities in January and continue to so do in February despite retracement.
The Shanghai Northbound Stock Connect, which allows HK investors to access Chinese equities listed on Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) saw net buying of RMB 83.4B so far in 2023.
The Shenzhen Northbound Stock Connect shows net purchases of RMB 74.1B this year. In comparison, these investors bought RMB 9.6B of Shanghai & RMB 25.4B Shenzhen shares in December.
Besides the connect program, foreign investment into China scaled up in January to the highest level since June 2022. Foreign investors bought RMB 128 billion ($18.7 billion) according to China’s Ministry of Commerce. That was 14.5% higher YoY and a 75% jump in investment into high-tech manufacturing. This spike reversed two months of double-digit drops in late 2022.
DEMYSTIFYING THE CHINA 50 INDEX
The FTSE China 50 Index comprises of the 50 largest and most liquid Chinese stocks that are listed and traded in Hong Kong. The index is specifically designed for international investors to get exposure to Chinese equities.
The China 50 index is dominated by large tech stocks representing 23.4% of the index. Bank stocks have a 18% weightage with retailer shares weighing in at 15%.
The overall index provides a balanced with a mildly skewed tech exposure to Chinese equities.

BABA Alibaba Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t sold BABA when Charlie Munger did:
or reentered when it was cheaper than the IPO:
Now looking at the BABA Alibaba options chain ahead of earnings , I would buy the $110 strike price Calls with
2023-8-18 expiration date for about
$10.20 premium.
If the options turn out to be profitable Before the earnings release, I would sell at least 50%.
I have chosen that expiration date to allow me to be wrong and not close the position and to have a bigger gain by the expiration date, if BABA Alibaba keeps on climbing.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
China: Back to the Grind (SHORT)China:
Morgan Stanley scenario:
Chinese stock indexes could plunge by another 20% from current levels over the next six to 12 months — and potentially remain lower for much longer if the hypothetical stress scenario persists.
China’s GDP could slow drastically, averaging 2% growth in 2023.
More than 11 million people could lose their jobs, likely sending the urban unemployment rate above 7%. Construction, accommodation and catering would see the most job cuts.

MARKETS: DebtCeiling 2013& What FollowsHi Traders, Investors and Speculators of the Charts 📈📉
I am passionate about economics and history. Together, these two can tell a compelling story of ow interlinked everything is, and give a glimpse into the future should certain events repeat itself.
That is the core of my argument today as we look at the previous time he US Government hit a debt ceiling, and what happened after.
It would be great if you could watch the video , but if you can't spare 10min here's the summary:
📈 VTI : Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF
I love using the VTI as a general overview of the trend on stocks. You could also use the S&P, it's just a personal preference considering they have interest and hold 50% plus shares of nearly EVERYTHING.
The VTI mostly consolidates and sees some downward price action for three years after USA announces debt crisis. VTI recovers in Jan 2016, three years later.
In other words, in the stock market you may see some down, some up. A near equal amount of buyers and sellers to balance out the total environment. China50 seems to be a precursor of what is about to happen on VTI.
📉 Look for buy opportunities during this time, prepare to hold long term.
📈 GOLD
Gold starts declining before the debt crisis is officially announced. A multiyear bear market follows, one of the worst. Continues up until 2016.
📉 Seems like a good idea to take note of the above and get out of gold, enter again during new lows
📈 BTCUSD / Crypto
We didn't have an overwhelming amount of alts during that time, so only the Bitcoin USD chart can give an idea of what may happen to crypto after a debt ceiling is announced. Interesting to note that BTC rallies almost parabolically and reaches it's first ATH. Then, at the same time the debt crisis is announced. Bitcoin continues into a multi year bear market, only to recover in Jan 2016.
📉 Do I really need to share my unpopular opinion here ... It all depends on how much you believe in history repeating itself.
📈 USOIL / OIL Industry
The oil industry sees the second worst bear market yet, only recovers in Jan 2016 but does not make a higher high until 2020.
📉 Oil saw a sharp v Shape recovery after the announcement of Covid. Oil is still in higher demand than usual considering scarcities so I believe there is another push upwards towards the 3.618 Fibonacci Extension, also the next immediate resistance zone around 200.
📈 EURUSD / strength of the Euro
The announcement of the 2013 debt ceiling sends the Euro into a bear trend against the dollar, bottoming out at 0.76 three years later, again only in 2016.
📉 Euro recently saw a strong V Shaped recovery, but considering the next point you may want to rethink holding Euros:
📈 DXY / Dollar Strength Index
In comparison by percentage, the DXY surpasses every other market. The DXY increases nearly parabolically over this period of time all the way until November 2016. Which naturally ames sense because when there is talks of an economic crises, people tend to sell their assets for CASH which would explain why markets dropped but DXY increases due to higher demand.
📉 Dollars gain against all in Forex markets.
Here's more info on the debt ceiling and what happens if a country defaults:
What are your thoughts on this?

A50 ready to test 15k To celebrate the new year, here some TA on the China A50 index:
The breakout of the descending triangle led to a powerful rally that is still in full place and will most likely bring us to 15k. The golden cross (50 SMA crossing 200 SMA from below) could be the fuel to propel us there. 15k represents a major resistance, if broken on the first attempt (unlikely), it will bring us to Valhalla.
Most likely we will get a retracement and form a nice shoulder for an inverse head&shoulders formation (bullish pattern). From there we will start to raise and visit the moon once the neck (likely 15k) is broken.
Selling CHINA50 into trend of higher highs.CHN50 - 22h expiry - We look to Sell at 13310 (stop at 13445)
Buying pressure from 12917 resulted in prices rejecting the dip.
The current move higher is expected to continue.
Previous resistance located at 13304.
This is negative for short term sentiment and we look to set shorts at good risk/reward levels for a further correction lower.
Preferred trade is to sell into rallies.
Although the anticipated move lower is corrective, it does offer ample risk/reward today.
Our profit targets will be 12920 and 12660
Resistance: 13140 / 13615 / 14200
Support: 12660 / 12075 / 11120

ChinaA50 - Bias for higher levels.CHN50 - Intraday - We look to Buy at 12540 (stop at 12380)
Selling pressure from 13067 resulted in all the initial daily gains being overturned. The current move lower is expected to continue. The bias is still for higher levels and we look for any dips to be limited. We, therefore, prefer to fade into the dip with a tight stop in anticipation of a move back higher.
Our profit targets will be 13005 and 13140
Resistance: 13140 / 13615 / 14200
Support: 12660 / 12075 / 11120

Chinese SSE300 Index ETF: Bearish Dragon with 1.618 TargetThis is an extension to the Bearish SSE50 setup that I posted not so long ago; I found a tradable US Listed ETF that tracks the movement of the SSE300 and the situation on this chart is pretty much the same as the one for the SSE50 where we are breaking a logarithmic trendline, the moving averages, and looking to make a minimum 61.8% retrace. However, I believe it will go much deeper and my targets will be the 88.6% retrace at $17.31 and then the 1.618 Fibonacci Extension below at $7.72
LU Lufax Most Undervalued Chinese StockFor the China reopening thesis i think LU Lufax Holding is the one of the most undervalued stocks you can own right now! And i will tell you why!
LU Lufax Holding has a ridiculous PE Ratio (TTM) of only 1.81!
The Forward Dividend & Yield is 0.51 (21.79%)!
Last year the stock was $18.30. It has lost most than 90% of its value, while the business is growing and pays dividends.
The yield alone is a big gain, even if the price stays flat.
Last year Morgan Stanley had a price target for LU of $13 while JPMorgan Chase of $15.
3rd biggest shareholder is BlackRock, with an estimated average of $6.11.
You can but the stock now 3 times cheaper than BlackRock.
The average daily volume in the past 3 months is high, more than $10Mil daily (i think someone is accumulating).
My price target is the $7.10 resistance. I believe LU is a premium call.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it!
Selling CN50 into rallies.CHN50 - 21h expiry - We look to Sell at 12765 (stop at 13010)
Buying pressure from 12189 resulted in prices rejecting the dip.
The current move higher is expected to continue. Trading within a Bullish Channel formation.
Our expectation now is for this swing higher to continue towards the top of the trend channel, to complete a correction before sellers return.
We therefore, prefer to fade into the rally with a tight stop in anticipation of a move back lower.
Although the anticipated move lower is corrective, it does offer ample risk/reward today.
Our profit targets will be 12065 and 11120
Resistance: 12660 / 13140 / 13610
Support: 12075 / 11120 / 10490

Chinese SSE 50 Index Bearish Dragon with 1.618 TargetThe top 50 stocks in the Shanghai Composite Index look to be collectively forming a Bearish Chinese Dragon which if it breaks down could very well send it straight down to the 1.618 Extension given that there's is only one little Support Zone Below us after the trendline is broken. Given this very great Potential Danger that is visible on the chart i will be Avoiding Investment into Chinese Assets in the foreseeable future.
