BABA: One more Dip?Alibaba is said to be the next Amazon stock, but right now it's still in its early phases of growth. Recently they were added to the Heng Seng index and they will have earnings next week on the 20th of August. So we know what that means! Alibaba may have one last dip for traders to grab it a little lower before moving up from the 18th of August where it could potentially make a pretty penny. Or you could take some now and ride the red a bit until it comes back up. Either way, looks like a good scalp and maybe long term investment to check out.
Monday to Gap down?Will we see an opening gap on Monday to the downside?
It's all setup really nicely. If it does, i don't expect it to get filled anytime soon. Move down should accelerate from there onward.
ATM, i see very little bullish case to support the idea of Gap or the parallel channel acting as a support for another rally.
Resistance now at 24750-850.
Post Fed. HSI Super BearishRallied briefly but as anticipated it was short lived and sold off from first resistance. We now have an inside day fake out on dailies and are very close to the key levels 24300-500. Acceleration gap through there will signal the start of mark down. With the amount of distribution, 20k should be minimum but its not just the last 3 months. It has been going on since late 2017(refer to my 23 May post, linked below).
If you are short, hold onto this one. It can be very big.
Elliott Wave View: Hang Seng Index Correction In ProgressHang Seng 15 minutes chart below shows that the index has extended lower from July 7 peak. The decline is unfolding as a double three Elliott Wave Structure. From July 7 high, wave W ended at 25570.36 low. The bounce in wave X ended at 26103.84 high. The pair then extended lower in wave Y, which ended at 24766.17 low. This completed wave (W) in larger degree. The decline reached the blue box area, which is the 100 – 123.6% extension of wave W-X. From that blue box, the Index did a 3 waves bounce in wave (X), which ended at 25772.41 high. The bounce unfolded as zig-zag Elliott Wave Structure.
Afterwards, the Index continued its decline and broke below previous wave (W) low. This confirms that the next leg lower in wave (Y) is already in progress. Down from wave (X) high, the index extended lower in wave A and ended at 24526.91 low. Wave A low ended at 61.8-76.4% extension of wave (W)-(X). From there, the index is currently doing a bounce in wave B. While below 25772.41 high, the bounce in 3,7 or 11 swings is expected to fail. The index then can do another leg lower in wave C before ending wave (Y) in the larger degree. The 100-161.8% extension of (W)-(X) where (Y) can end is between 22486-23743 area.
$HSI - Hang Seng Futures Very Bearish$AAPL $SPY $QQQ $NQ_F -- $HSI_F The hang seng futures daily chart is still extremely bearish. It recently restested the neckline of a previously broken down H&S and rejected hard. As you can see from the chart its also in a clear bear flag that is likely to break down very soon
HANG SENG - Could we get further decline?I took a short at the areas at the top, it was looking very over extended. The line I always use and think when I analyse and my life philosophy - What goes up must come down - and vice versa. But the key question is - if we go below further the trend line up, and we have clear further declined I would short the further decline. However, we are at a key area and test the areas of the highs again. Smaller time frames my indicate patterns or candle formation to validate further.
Coming Down NicelyAfter the Buying Climax on 7th of July, brief distribution was carried out between 25950-26250.
Today saw a gap down and a selloff to first of the 4 unfilled gaps below which is acting as a support for time being.
Key resistance above now is 25850-950.
Move down so far appears to be in a channel formation.
Major chunk of distribution took place between 24500-300 since the low in March. Gap through that will signal the start of a markdown and accelerated move towards 20k and below.
Regards
Update: SELL SELL SELL!!!
More on the post earlier Today.
HSI now has rallied beyond the point which i have marked for few weeks as the potential turning point. We may see brief distribution between 25950-26250 for couple of sessions and then move lower. I am to remain short until it breaks above 26800.
I am of a view that the rally so far this month after the passing of controversial security law is to trap the investors who were on the sidelines waiting to see how the market perceives the new law.
There is 10 weeks of distribution near 24k. If it reverses, 20k may come in no time.
Breaking up with HUGE VolumeToday saw a huge surge in volume in the morning hour. Double the usual.
Next few days are critical.
From a bullish POV, HSI is now breaking out of a 10 week range with a high volume but to predict whether it truly is a break to the top or a trap, it is important to know what happened within the range and how the market approached the breakout.
To my understanding, it was distribution(as i have been pointing out in my previous posts) and there is very little left in it.
2 possible scenarios to top out are as drawn on the chart. Triangle(Blue). Ending Diagonal(Orange).

HSI UpdateTop did come albeit 2 days late, important or not, we will know in next few days. Ideally, i would like to hv seen more distribution between 25k-26k but as pointed out in previous posts, there was high volume selling in the last move up from 22400 so it was bound to run out of gas real soon.
Pullbacks should be capped below 24500. Definitely dont want to see 24800 tested anytime soon. 22900-22400 will be key and if the markdown has started, this area needs to be quickly overcome perhaps with an acceleration gap.
I am not of a view that it is the start of deflationary crash as many expect and fear. NOT YET at least. Refer to my 23 May post, "Markdown or Shakeout?" linked below.
Quickly down to 20k and back to 25k-26k :D. One can dream.
