Hang Seng Tech Rally Stalls Above 5800

Hang Seng Tech popped above 5800 on Monday, largely on the back of Alibaba. The stock jumped 19% after reporting a strong quarterly profit, with traders focusing on growth in AI-related revenues. That surge helped lift the index, partially offsetting weakness in chipmakers. But the follow-through didn’t stick. Once Alibaba’s spike faded, so did the broader index, highlighting how fragile breakouts above 5800 remain without broader participation. The price action looked unconvincing, mirroring moves earlier in the year on probes above the level.

Another Pullback Incoming?

While the broader trend for Hang Seng Tech is undeniably bullish, without a definitive break and close above 5856, near-term directional risks may be skewing lower.

If we were to see another failed push above 5800 on Tuesday, shorts could be established beneath the level with a stop above 5856 for protection. 5700, 5570 and 50-day moving average screen as potential targets, depending on desired risk-reward from the trade.

As mentioned above, the broader trend for the contract is entirely bullish. The price is in an ascending channel with the 50 and 200-day moving averages pushing higher. RSI (14) and MACD are also generating bullish signals, favouring a similar directional bias.

As such, if the contract were to close above 5856, it would generate a bullish setup where longs could be established on the break with a stop beneath the level, targeting 6000, 6150 or 6210—the latter coinciding with 2025 year-to-date high.

Alternatively, if we were to see a pullback to channel support/50DMA and bounce, longs could be established with a stop beneath the support zone for protection against reversal. 5700, 5800 and 5856 screen as potential targets.
