HSI reversal was overdue, but the bounce looks weak: so far it did not even reach Q1 resistance on week 1 and on week 2 (current).
Resistance level to watch where the current bounce could end is 18874, or any price around that area at Close, at the end of this week. High probability SHORT.
If some unexpected catalyst pushes the index to rally, look for resistance at 19459 on week 3, we think this won't happen but a tail is always possible.
