CN50 to find support at previous resistance?CHN50 - 24h expiry - We look to Buy at 13350 (stop at 13245)
Although the bulls are in control, the stalling positive momentum indicates a turnaround is possible.
A lower correction is expected.
The 50% Fibonacci retracement is located at 13357 from 13116 to 13599.
Further upside is expected although we prefer to buy into dips close to the 13350 level.
Although the anticipated move higher is corrective, it does offer ample risk/reward today.
Our profit targets will be 13660 and 14440

China
Hang Seng bounced strongly! Is the China bull back?Something bullish is happening in China, potentially primarily due to the reopening and all the liquidity injections by the PBoC. China never raised rates while slowly adding liquidity to markets. We saw a significant capitulation when Xi became emperor for life by removing everyone that could potentially cause trouble to him from the CCP, as well as when we first saw the first sanctions on China by the US. It's clear that the US and China are in a cold war, and the US will keep imposing sanctions on China... Many of which might come back to bite it. Now there is talk about capital controls, yet China holds many US bonds and has been part of why inflation stayed low for so long. Of course, China has many issues, but so does the US, and what they both have in common is that they will have to print a ton of money.
What's critical here is that the Hang Seng has been trending lower for a while, especially since China started taking 'back' Hong Kong, but then started bottoming around peak China fears (never reopening + Taiwan invasion). For now, an invasion seems unlikely, and all the concerns about capital controls could not have the result everyone thinks they will. The market is incredibly oversold, and Chinese investors may be forced to repatriate their capital and start investing there.
''The Hang Seng Index can be used as a bellwether for markets worldwide. If the gain in Hang Seng holds, that would be a bullish indicant for markets worldwide. If the low is violated, that would suggest continued decline in other markets as well. We say this because the late January and early February market peaks were a worldwide phenomenon. Stocks, Bonds and Commodities all peaked in tandem, suggesting a shift in the underlying perception of the fundamentals from one of continued growth and declining inflation to one of slower growth or recession accompanied by persistent inflationary pressures.''
Milton W Berg CFA
@BergMilton
I agree with Milton, and to me, this looks special. First, HSI bounced right at the Yearly pivot. The bounce came to a massive rally from the lows, which swept the double top, hit resistance, and had a decent pullback. The bounce straight into the monthly pivot, which usually acts as a magnet. So we have gone from pivot to pivot very quickly. When looking at CN50, we get an extra confirmation that something bullish is happening. Again, massive rally, significant pullback, bounce at support, reclaim yearly pivot, a break above the monthly pivot, slight pullback, and sit right above the monthly pivot. Technically both look bullish to me.
Only a close of 2% below the recent lows would make me think that the market is about to keep going lower. Until then, I assume that both these markets are in a bull market and that China isn't as uninvestable as many make it seem to be. Of course, if you are a US investor, you shouldn't be investing in China, but for most of the rest of the world, China seems fine (for now). They keep getting cheap oil from Russia, they are politically stable (nobody to go against Xi), won't invade Taiwan anytime soon (based on what they saw in Ukraine), and Japan also kept printing and didn't raise rates (capital flows into China)
Aussie Dollar - Don't Worry Be Hoppy!China re-opening, widening trade surplus, and a fragile USD to keep Australian Dollar bouncing higher ("AUD") in 2023.
The Dollar Index (“DXY”) is sinking through support levels even as the AUD rises past key resistance points. Amid solid tailwinds favoring AUD and formidable headwinds facing the USD, this case study argues for a long position in CME Micro AUD/USD Futures expiring in March 2023.
Thus far, the AUD is 2023's top-performing currency. It appears to have raced ahead of itself with near-term consolidation expected before resuming its ascent. Hence, an entry at 0.695 with a target of 0.736 and a stop-loss at 0.668 will deliver a reward-to-risk ratio of 1.52.
WHAT DRIVES THE VALUE OF A CURRENCY?
Supply and demand for a currency establishes its value. Monetary policy also has an impact on its value.
Currencies with high domestic interest rates appreciate while those with lower rates get weaker. Nations enjoying greater trade surplus command a stronger currency. Currencies in high demand for savings, trade settlement, tourism, and education also appreciate.
AUD, as a commodity currency, enjoys multiple tailwinds, making it resilient going into 2023. Economic re-opening in China after a shift away from zero-covid stance is expected to increase demand for commodities. Easing political relations saw China secure its first Australian coal cargos in two years. Bullish commodity prices will boost AUD.
Australia's trade surplus widened to $13.2B in November when it was expected to decline to $10.5B. Growing trade surplus bodes well for AUD.
China re-opening and easing political relationships benefits Australia in more ways than one. Chinese travelers and students are starting to return to Australia further boosting demand for its dollar.
AUSTRALIA IS A TOP COMMODITY EXPORTER MAKING AUD A COMMODITY PLAY
Australia produces copious quantities of crude and three-fourths of that is exported. Australia is one of the planet’s largest exporters of iron ore and coal. Iron Ore forms the single largest source of export revenue worth AUD 133 billion in 2021-22 according to Mineral Council of Australia. Australia also exports aluminum.
As seen in the chart below, correlation between CME Iron Ore Futures prices to CME Micro AUD/USD Futures is tight at upwards of 90% and tends to move in tandem. Bullish Iron Ore prices augur well for the AUD.
CHINA IS AUSTRALIA’S NUMBER ONE TRADING PARTNER
More than half of every commodity is imported into China. It should be no surprise that China is Australia’s top trading partner.
Importing more than USD 100 billion of Australian products, China accounts for more than 30% of all Australian exports. China is the world’s largest steel producer for which Iron Ore is a key ingredient. Predictably, China accounts for 80% of Australian Iron Ore exports.
China is expected to remain a key producer and consumer of steel as its One Belt One Road requires huge investments in steel-intensive projects both within and outside its borders.
RBA TO REMAIN HAWKISH IN FENDING OFF DOMESTIC INFLATION
Australian inflation eased to 6.9% in October 2022 but shot back up to 7.3% in November beating expectations. The Reserve Bank of Australia (“RBA”) remains hawkish in the fight against inflation as it wrestles to bring inflation down to the 2%-3% target.
Economists anticipate that it might take a quarter or two before reaching “peak-inflation” in Australia. Meanwhile, RBA will keep or lift rates higher which will strengthen AUD even more.
KING DOLLAR SHEDS ITS SHINE
The US Dollar Index (DXY) measures the US dollar’s value against a basket of six currencies comprising of Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Swedish Krona, and the Swiss Franc. The USD rallied strongly in 2022 while investors’ flight to safety tendency demonstrated dollar’s heft as the global reserve.
However, the DXY has shed 11.2% since touching a high of 114.778 on September 28 to close at 102.204 on January 13, 2023. Slowing inflation in the US is expected to ease the Fed’s hawkish aggression towards rate hikes. This will force the dollar to further lose its value against other currencies.
Anticipating this, asset managers have reduced their net long positions in the DXY by 45% over the last twelve weeks while leveraged funds continue to entrench their net short positions by 3% during the same period.
TECHNICALS POINT TO AUD BULLS AND DXY BEARS
On January 6, AUD pushed past the 20-day moving average it has tested since December 27. The Bollinger Bands having narrowed until then is now broadening out with the AUD breaking out to the top. With the AUD trading around the Pivot point, it is now trending up and has traded past the first key resistance on January 12.
Mirroring the same trend but to the reverse, the DXY attempted to rally past the 20-day moving average, but only to fail and sink below the immediate support at 102.643. The Bollinger band having narrowed until January 6 has given way with the DXY breaking out downwards shedding more than 2% with five daily red candles in succession.
A bull in AUD and a bear in USD creates a compelling backdrop for a bouncy AUD in the near term. In vindicating this sentiment, the options open interest in CME Micro AUD/USD Futures shows a put-call ratio of 0.83 pointing to bullish view among options market participants.

Rebound after retesting the top of descending triangle? Previous H&S idea was invalidated, the price went testing the top of the descending triangle and seems to find some bid there. If we can rally from here we could visit again the range 14'750-15'000. If the price closes back below the triangle look for bearish continuation.
The Dragon Bouncing BackSwift dismantling of zero-Covid policy in China has triggered a surge in demand resulting in robust economic recovery. Is this a flash in the pan or a structural shift?
Bouncing off from 2022 bottom in early November, Chinese equities (represented by FTSE China 50 Index, "China50 Index") rallied 64% on COVID easing. The rally has stalled based on specific sector weaknesses causing a 12% correction in February.
This paper argues that record revenues (over CNY holidays in January), anticipated pro-growth Government stimulus, record-levels of consumer savings, and loose monetary policy will collectively drive Chinese equities higher.
A long position in CME’s E-Mini FTSE China 50 Index futures will deliver a reward-to-risk ratio of 2.35x while riding this economic shift.
SECOND LEG OF RE-OPENING TO LEAD TO RECOVERY
Five reasons support our bullish stance on Chinese equities:
First, favourable technical signals. Stalled rally plus weak sentiments have caused the markets to retrace 12%, leaving it right below a key Fibonacci retracement level. This suggests that the FTSE China 50 Index could continue its upward trajectory in 2023 as reopening turns into recovery.
Second, pro-growth fiscal policies. Investors hold high anticipation of upcoming National People's Congress (NPC) scheduled for early March. During the “Two Sessions,” the government is expected to make pro-growth policy announcements to boost the economy.
Historical analysis shows that the Two Sessions (NPC plus top political advisory body meeting) tend to provide solid tail winds to the stock market. Shares have previously rallied ahead of the meetings and afterwards as investors digest the news. Over the last decade, real estate & healthcare shares delivered the largest excess returns following these meetings.
Third, accommodative monetary policies. Meanwhile, PBOC added liquidity into the financial system to meet a rapid rebound in loan demand. PBOC kept short-term & long-term Loan Prime Rate (LPR) unchanged for the sixth straight month. Short-term LPR was at 3.65%. Long-term LPR (used to calculate mortgage rates) was at 4.3%. Both are at their lowest level in 20 years as China tries to balance economic growth and currency stability.
Fourth, revenge spending. Forced to stay home due to Covid restrictions & unable to spend, Chinese consumers saved one-third of their income last year, depositing RMB 17.8 trillion (USD 2.6 trillion) into banks. Even for a thrifty nation like China, that's massive. With restrictions gone, will Chinese consumers revenge to spend their excess savings?
Finally, valuations of Chinese shares are seemingly still in bulls’ favour despite the reopening rally. The MSCI China Index is trading at 10.9x forward P/E, below the 10-year average of 11.2x.
In tandem with equity market price retracement, China centric commodities such as Iron Ore and Copper have also stalled. But are looking to rise again.
ECONOMIC DATA PAINTS A HOPEFUL FUTURE AHEAD
Economic data from China show positive signs of economic recovery in 2023. Purchasing Manager Index (PMI), an important leading indicator of business activity, rebounded sharply in January.
GOVERNMENT PRIORITIZING ECONOMIC GROWTH
The Chinese government has announced stimulus packages to support its struggling Real Estate and Tech Sectors. For instance, Guangzhou recently committed $29 billion to local tech funds to inject capital into high-tech sectors.
The government also announced a 21-point plan in January to boost property developer’s balance sheets with $67 billion in aid.
Moving in tandem with pro-growth Government accommodative fiscal policy, the PBOC continues its commitment to accommodative monetary policy by keeping key short- and long-term Loan Prime Rate (LPR) at their lowest level in almost two decades to boost growth.
However, this monetary stimulus comes at the cost of rising inflation in the country.
PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS ARE BULLISH CHINA AGAIN
In a note recently published by Goldman Sachs, the bank expects Chinese stocks to surge as much as 24% by the end of this year as the economy shifts from reopening to recovery.
The bank highlighted that "professional speculators" on their prime brokerage platform are showing a greater appetite for Chinese stocks.
Goldman highlighted that hedge funds had substantially re-risked their exposure in offshore Chinese equities with net Chinese exposure to total equity exposure reverting to all-time highs.
FOREIGN INVESTORS ARE BULLISH CHINA TOO
HKEX's Stock Connect program’s north bound flows shows that foreign investors heavily bought into Chinese equities in January and continue to so do in February despite retracement.
The Shanghai Northbound Stock Connect, which allows HK investors to access Chinese equities listed on Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) saw net buying of RMB 83.4B so far in 2023.
The Shenzhen Northbound Stock Connect shows net purchases of RMB 74.1B this year. In comparison, these investors bought RMB 9.6B of Shanghai & RMB 25.4B Shenzhen shares in December.
Besides the connect program, foreign investment into China scaled up in January to the highest level since June 2022. Foreign investors bought RMB 128 billion ($18.7 billion) according to China’s Ministry of Commerce. That was 14.5% higher YoY and a 75% jump in investment into high-tech manufacturing. This spike reversed two months of double-digit drops in late 2022.
DEMYSTIFYING THE CHINA 50 INDEX
The FTSE China 50 Index comprises of the 50 largest and most liquid Chinese stocks that are listed and traded in Hong Kong. The index is specifically designed for international investors to get exposure to Chinese equities.
The China 50 index is dominated by large tech stocks representing 23.4% of the index. Bank stocks have a 18% weightage with retailer shares weighing in at 15%.
The overall index provides a balanced with a mildly skewed tech exposure to Chinese equities.

Copper is red hot on China’s reopening, but there is more to itCopper is to commodities, what tech stocks are to equities. They are both historically cyclical but also promise potential long-term growth. Tech stocks were down last year, not because the underlying technologies were dead, but because central banks were aggressively tightening monetary policy. Copper too endured the same fate on account of macro headwinds despite the accelerating energy transition. Lockdowns in China added another layer of disappointment.
So, with the macro backdrop changing this year, is the red metal becoming red hot? Markets appear to be endorsing that narrative. What does the demand and supply situation look like?
China reopening
China consumes more than half of global refined copper with its demand experiencing an eight-fold increase in the past four decades1. Chinese manufacturing activity, therefore, is inevitably a key driver of copper prices (see figure below).
Chinese manufacturing activity remained contractionary through August till December last year, as evident from the Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index. In January, while the number remained contractionary at 49.22, the expectation is for it to pick up in the coming months if lockdowns remain sustainably lifted.
China is a crucial source of copper’s green demand too. Chinese subsidies for electric vehicle (EV) makers have given rise to a booming industry to the point where BYD is now competing fiercely with Tesla for market share worldwide. Although subsidies for producers will come to an end this year, tax exemptions for buyers will remain in place through 2023. This will further be supported by the rollout of charging infrastructure, a key component of China’s 14th 5-year plan issued in December 2022.
A battery EV can require three to four times as much copper as an equivalent internal combustion engine vehicle. Similarly, a 200 kilowatt (kW) fast charging station uses around 8 kilograms of copper3. There is a similar multiplicative effect on copper demand from other energy transition applications like renewable wind and solar power, which China is heavily investing in.
The supply side
In What’s Hot: Dr Copper’s misdiagnosis, we highlighted how copper’s inventories on exchanges are perilously low, a sign of supply tightness which could exacerbate if demand picked up quickly.
According to Wood Mackenzie, copper may see a slight global refined market surplus of 170 kilotons (kt) in 20234. But there is considerable uncertainty surrounding this forecast. On the supply side, disruptions such as the ones we’ve seen recently in Peru could play an important role. Peru is the second largest copper producing nation and is responsible for around 10% of global mined production.
Anti-government demonstrations in Peru have led to shipments being halted at the 300 kt Las Bambas mine, and disruptions at Glencore’s 180 kt Antapaccay mine, and other mines including Constancia (117 kt) and Cuajone (148 kt)5.
The figures above highlight how disruption in supply from Peru can easily tip the copper market into a deficit. While disruption may not be as severe this time as it was when Covid caused mine closures in Chile and Peru in 2020-2021, it could still be meaningful especially if coupled with more demand from China. Market pricing has been moving in response to these developments.
The energy transition
At the World Economic Forum in Davos in January, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen pledged unprecedented support in clean technology across all sectors of the energy transition. For Europe to remain competitive in the new era of clean energy, it must offer something that can rival the US Inflation Reduction Act. In 2023, we expect more action from US, Europe, and China now that energy security has become synonymous with the energy transition.
According to Wood Mackenzie, for the world to be on track for net zero by 2050, 9.7 Mt of mine supply will need to come from projects that are yet to be approved. This amounts to $23bn of investment a year in new projects, 64% higher than the average annual spend over the last 30 years.
Conclusion
Copper’s long-term demand trends suggest it could continue trending upwards but remain cyclical depending on the macroeconomics. Cyclical pullbacks could create interesting entry points for investors who recognise copper’s structural case.

ALGORITHMIC MODEL NEO 2023 $120ALGORITHMIC MODEL FOR NEO 2023 with price action prediction.
NEO seems to get into a new green view since days ago on the algorithmic trading side.
There is a high chance NEO will keep the volume with the days up to break out to the important level of $20, further to the R line of $29.
For the year 2023, we expect that NEO can target the $120 USD on more reasons behind the algorithmic trading.
Based on further analysis using algorithmic trading, we predict that NEO could reach a value of $120 USD in 2023.
This is not a day trading view and not based on the current price, but a target prediction for 2023
know that there is no guarantee at trading, manage always your risk.
The info shows a basic chart view where the algorithmic already added before on the chart with more factors and study views.
So let's see if this year can bring NEO to a $120 USD price action, and to be exactly depending on algorithm trading it shows a price action of $123
CAN CHINA BRING NEO TO 100 USD = YESNEO used to be a stable coin for a while, but recent trends in China suggest that it is gradually making a comeback. We will have to wait and see if NEO starts showing similar trends as Aptos did in the past, as the data seems to suggest.
It's difficult to predict the future price of NEO, but based on technical analysis of its volume and trend, there is a chance that China could give NEO a boost, potentially resulting in a price above $100 USD. However, for this to happen, NEO needs to break through the important $29 USD price point in the coming time.
Currently, data indicates that NEO is an interesting coin, with high volume. Given that NEO has always been an important coin in China, we can expect that China may be able to break out in the short term.
Most users that did buy NEO historically are from china.

Tencent major 4.5% drop sending a break in structure Tencent break in uptrend structure - Bearish
Tencent has eventually broken below the Uptrend structure after fantastic upside.
This means, the price is now in free fall and is more likely to touch the previous support (brim level of the last Cup and Handle ).
21<7 price>200 - Reversal
RSI <50 - Bearish
Target 312
I just did an analysis on Naspers which we spoke about how Tencent has the correlation.
As Naspers correlates with Tencent and Prosus... We saw a sluggish market in Asia session with the banking holiday effect in America.
Hong Kong stocks slump as Chinese tech giants step up rivalries, HSBC in focus as market await corporate earnings boost. The Hang Seng Index declined 1.7 per cent to 20,529.49 at the close of Tuesday trading, the biggest drop in over a week. The Tech Index tumbled 3.6 per cent while the Shanghai Composite Index added 0.5 per cent. The benchmark index has lost nearly 5 per cent in the past two weeks as hedge funds withdrew from the market. With Tencent dropping 4.5% this is why we saw a large breakaway gap with Naspers.
Caution is needed with such volatility .
BABA Alibaba Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t sold BABA when Charlie Munger did:
or reentered when it was cheaper than the IPO:
Now looking at the BABA Alibaba options chain ahead of earnings , I would buy the $110 strike price Calls with
2023-8-18 expiration date for about
$10.20 premium.
If the options turn out to be profitable Before the earnings release, I would sell at least 50%.
I have chosen that expiration date to allow me to be wrong and not close the position and to have a bigger gain by the expiration date, if BABA Alibaba keeps on climbing.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
EEM: Emerging Market MSCI (EM) : SELLEmerging markets equities had to clear many hurdles in 2022 but began to recover in the fourth quarter.
But technically, there are hurdles, The Red sloping line of 2021 is the prime example.
After the steep drop in equity markets overall in 2022, It is believed that emerging markets equities may be one of the most mispriced asset classes, with attractive valuations compared with historical levels.
A 15% drop cannot be ruled out...fundamentals are strong, but technicals will sadly rule.
China: Back to the Grind (SHORT)China:
Morgan Stanley scenario:
Chinese stock indexes could plunge by another 20% from current levels over the next six to 12 months — and potentially remain lower for much longer if the hypothetical stress scenario persists.
China’s GDP could slow drastically, averaging 2% growth in 2023.
More than 11 million people could lose their jobs, likely sending the urban unemployment rate above 7%. Construction, accommodation and catering would see the most job cuts.
