Analysis on Hang Seng Index ( $HSI(HSI)$ )

The Hang Seng Index (HSI) recently broke out of an ascending triangle formation, a pattern that often reflects consolidation followed by potential continuation. The horizontal resistance around 25,800–26,000 was tested several times before a breakout occurred, supported by higher lows that formed the triangle base. The breakout suggests improving market sentiment and potential for further upside if momentum holds.

Trading with DLCs

  • Long DLCs: If the index sustains above the breakout zone, long DLCs ( $HSI 5xLongSG261029(CVMW.SI)$ ) are structured to benefit from further upward movement. Traders should note, however, that any failure back below 26,000 may reduce the effectiveness of such instruments.

  • Short DLCs: If the breakout proves unsustainable and price falls back below support, short DLCs ( $HSI 7xShortSG270729(LZJW.SI)$ ) can be used to benefit from downward moves or act as a hedge.

  • Key Reminder: DLCs are leveraged products designed for short-term trading. They carry daily compounding effects, and losses can be significant, potentially the full capital deployed. Traders should monitor bid-ask spreads, volatility, and ensure risk sizing is appropriate.
