Technical Analysis

<ul>
<li>Bear impulse in China/HK sets up a sell on a squeeze. Sell volumes ignited on the A50 12,400 support break. HSI has been our top short in Asia and rewarded.</li>
<li>We did trim our HSI short at the 15k target but still represents 10% of our book. RSI is oversold with short squeeze risk (then re cycle short).</li>
<li>Hong Kong likes to bottom on big impulsive downside moves so will be interesting how our price and timing models converge.</li>
