Hang Seng Index: Consolidation before a Breakout?

Since my last post Hang Seng Index: Break Down!, HSI has successfully held support around 22400. Looking at the weekly chart, the index has seen sideways action for the past 5 months, and is reaching the upper trendline resistance yet again, around 24000. We may see some consolidation here. However, the volume patterns suggest that a breakout above is possible in the short-medium term. Intial target will be 25000, followed by the significant pivot of 26300.

Straits Times Index: Facing a Familiar Foe!

After a rapid recovery from an oversold positive divergence, the STI is now facing a familiar foe: 3120. Also in play is the top of the downtrend channel. Interestingly, the decline in the STI has occured in 3 waves so far. A break above 3120 here, will mean at least a re-test of the highs in the medium-term. On the other hand, a breakdown to reach 2900 will complete 5 waves, and change the outlook decisively.
