CHI50 Stock Index Retreats to Meet Supportive Trendline

Technical analysis of Forex market

China’s 50 stock index (CHI50) is testing the ascending trendline that has been navigating the market since the slump to a one-year low of 11,558.

The negative cross between the red Tenkan-sen and the blue Kijun-sen lines and the weakening RSI on the four-hour chart hint that downside risks remain. To confirm that, the index needs to slip below the trendline and push towards the 38.2% Fibonacci of 12,593 of the downleg from 14,241 to 11,558. If sellers persist, traders could look for support near the previous low of 12,376, a break of which may reach the 23.6% Fibonacci of 12,204.

In case of an upside reversal, the 50% Fibonacci of 12,908 could open the door for the 13,045-13,150-resistance zone that encapsulates the 200-period simple moving average (SMA). Breaching the 61.8% Fibonacci of 13,222 too, the rally may pick up steam towards the 13,460 barrier.

In brief, the short-term risk for China’s 50 index is titled to the downside, with traders awaiting a confirmation below the ascending trendline.
