China leads Asian recovery

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index is testing its 2010 high at 25000. Breakout would confirm a primary advance, with a target of 27000*. A 13-week Twiggs Money Flow trough at zero indicates long-term buying pressure. Reversal below 24000 is unlikely, but would warn of a correction to the rising trendline.

China’s Shanghai Composite Index is testing resistance at 2250. Breakout would confirm a primary up-trend. Rising 13-week Twiggs Money Flow indicates medium-term buying pressure. Reversal below 2150 is unlikely, but would warn of another test of primary support at 1990/2000.

India’s Sensex recovered above 26000, offering a target of 27000*. Declining 13-week Twiggs Money Flow continues to warn of selling pressure, but respect of the zero line and recovery above 10% would indicate that buyers have taken control. Reversal below the secondary trendline is unlikely, but would indicate a correction to the primary trendline.
