Intraday Trend Prediction
Overall mainly weak oscillation, focus on 76,500–78,200 range:
1. Rebound faces resistance below 78,200, likely to fall back to test 76,500–76,000
2. If it effectively breaks below 76,000, bearish continuation, further down to 75,000
3. Only if it stabilizes above 78,800, the short-term weakness will be broken, aiming for 80,000
Short-term Trading Strategy
• Bears: Short at 78,000–78,200, stop-loss at 78,600, target 76,800–76,000
• Bulls: Stabilize at 76,500–76,300, lightly long, stop-loss at 75,900, target 77,800–78,200
• Breakout Handling: If below 76,000, follow the trend to short; if above 78,800, follow the trend to go long
