What happened yesterday/earlier
The Hong Kong 50 Index (proxy for the Hang Seng Index futures) has held above 19030 predefined short-term pivotal support and shaped the recovery towards the 19720 range top. In this morning session, 02 March 2016, the Index has gapped up above the 19720 in line with a strong closing seen in the major U.S. benchmark stock indices.

Key elements
- The Index has shaped the expected bullish breakout from the “Inverse Head & Shoulders” configuration as per highlighted in our weekly technical outlook/strategy that the Index is in the midst of undergoing the second phase of the countertrend rally (click here).
- The pull-back support zone of the “Inverse Head & Shoulders” bullish breakout stands at 19720/600 which is also the opening gap seen this morning.
- The next significant short-term resistance will be at 20380 which is defined by the former swing lows area of 24 August and 29 September 2015 , close to the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the steep decline from 24 December 2015 high to 11 February 2016 low and the upper boundary of the ascending channel in place since 11 February 2016 low
Key levels (1 to 3 days)
Pivot (key support): 19720/600
Resistances: 20230
Next support: 19300/180
Conclusion
Bullish tone remains intact and any potential pull-back is likely to be held by the 19720/600 short-term pivotal support for another push up to target the 20230 resistance.
On the other hand, failure to hold above the 19720/600 pivotal support may negate the bullish tone for a deeper pull-back to test the lower boundary of the ascending channel from 11 February 2016 low now at 19300/180
