HSI - not time yet - from our weekend notes

Over the weekend we publish to a few friends and potential clients in a private message. This was our discussion on the HSI as of the close Friday, June 20th.

Recent upgrades include DANG for ~8%, HOLI for ~11% in two weeks.

Tech Rating: -2
This is a case of trend follower beware. We see price and the GURU moving averages stacked up in order vertically above price  in what looks a fresh trend. However, all other signals are weighing in with regression analysis throwing strength in for negative price movement. GURU MACD and GURU Stochastics are trading below signal line and in the wrong side of an arc with a negative slope on our settings. The GURU CCI is neutral as is RSI – there wasn’t any strength in the recent top. Add to that the decreasing volume since the start of June and this looks like a dog.

There has been a long disconnect between HSI performance and China. For instance: Dongfeng/600006 was 2.75 a year ago and is now up 6% in 12 months while Dongfeng/489 was 10.28 and is now up 32% in 12 months. It doesn’t get better looking at two years where the Mainland listing is -12% and the HK listing is +5%.

Price and GURU moving averages:
^HSI(Hang Seng) has closed above its short term moving average.
Short term moving average is currently above mid term, and above long term moving averages.
Mid term moving average is currently above long term
The relationship between price and moving averages is: bullish in short term, and bullish in mid-long term.

Bollinger Bands:
^HSI(Hang Seng) has closed below upper band by 48.4%.
Bollinger Bands are 71.1% narrower than normal.
The narrow width of the bands suggests low volatility as compared to ^HSI(Hang Seng)'s normal range.  Therefore, the probability of volatility increasing with a sharp price move has increased for the near-term. The bands have been in this narrow range for 12 bars. The probability of a significant price move increases the longer the bands remain in this narrow range.

GURU Stochastic K is below D by nearly ~8 points and both are sounding the dive klaxon. Ask anyone that has sat next to me on a trading floor where I had the dive klaxon.wav linked to my Bloomberg terminal with real time prices – that is damned annoying!

GURU CCI is neutral at 31

GURU MACD
Crossovers:
Currently MACD is bearish since it is trading below its signal line.
MACD crossed below its signal line 3 period(s) ago.
Since MACD crossed its moving average, ^HSI's price has decreased -0.04%
and has ranged from a high of 23,300.311 to a low of 23,122.750
Overbought/Oversold: not in an overbought/oversold range.
Divergence: there have been no divergence signals within the last 5 periods.

Tech ratings are 3 to -3 indicating bullish to bearish; a zero is neutral to cautionary.
