Near term (daily chart). A quite aggressive move lower on Monday. 

The gap down has taken us below the 200-day Moving Average but the Hang Seng is good at filling gaps on the daily chart and this is not likely to be an exception. If we do test the upside again the 200-day line is likely to act as resistance so it bears watching.

A nice topping pattern is now completed as per the upper chart and the neckline I’ve drawn in. The target from the topping pattern is around 18,000 as the top pattern itself is quite shallow.

The MACD is still pointing lower signaling a further move down in the intermediate term.

Better volume behind this latest little dip so some profit taking perhaps. As with all the world’s stock markets, the rally since the major turn from the big bear market has been significant and consolidation is the watchword not further gains.

In terms of the S&P 500. As per the last chart you can see the correlation has turned high again and the US markets are having a big influence again. Watch Wall Street.  

See the glossary link above for an explanation of the studies used above.
