Short or Take Profit $HSI ahead of Hong Kong Retail Sales YoY
Updated
I'm reducing risk and taking a few positions off the table on the HK Market. We have a great run in the last few weeks.
Price is at the top of the channel and I cannot see much upside from here. 29,000 at max.
On Friday, it is the Hong Kong Retail Sales YoY data, I am expecting it to be negative because of the Hong Kong Protest.
