Score7/10RSI(14) 54.7Day move -2.0%Stop distance Closed HK$460.20, 2.2% above the HK$450 stopOpen P&L ~+7%

Technicals — Down 2.0% to HK$460.20, -2.8% over two days, giving back a third of the eight-day run. The 50-day (HK$451.30) and the HK$450 stop nearly coincide — technical support and the discipline line stacked at one level; Monday's open is the answer.

Fundamentals — No company-level negatives — the decline is unlock-wave beta. The Hunyuan, games and Video Accounts ad narratives are unchanged and the southbound allocation case undamaged. Passive drawdowns like this are precisely why the stop exists: no forecasting, only responding.

News — It lagged with -2.0% on a day the tech index fell just 0.21%, as money rotated from big tech toward aerospace and biotech. Sector beta isn't the stock's fault — but position management reads price, not excuses.

Long Lean bullish

Holding (~+7%): sector-beta drawdowns don't justify a discretionary exit, and the stop won't be lowered because 'it's unfair' — discipline earns its keep exactly when tested. With the 50-day and the stop coinciding, a break is a double signal.

Score8/10RSI(14) 55.3Day / week +2.0% / +17.0%Relative strength Closed green through the unlock double-kill — a second day of sector independenceStop HK$105 (raised yesterday)

Technicals — Up 2.0% to HK$110.20, green through both unlock-drag sessions, +17% for the week. RSI 55 is healthy, the 50-day (HK$117.50) remains first resistance, and the 20-day (HK$101.20) plus the HK$105 stop form a two-layer cushion.

Fundamentals — The unlock storm revealed the re-rating's flow base: money leaving tech didn't leave Hong Kong — it concentrated into the highest-certainty AI asset. Earnings previews, the H200 list and bank endorsements make it both the shelter and the spearhead.

News — Consecutive independent gains through a sector rout are the classic footprint of institutional accumulation. The next catalyst is the earnings window at month-end; the 50-day (HK$117.50) break decides the medium-term trend.

Short-term · 1–3 weeks
Long Bullish

Holding (~+7%): relative strength through a sector storm is the highest-grade reason to stay. Stop holds at HK$105, rising to HK$110 on a 50-day break.

Cloud-AI second curve, e-commerce profit repair and flow-concentration effects — the unlock storm strengthened, not weakened, its status as the China AI re-rating's core vehicle.
