Clear Resistance and Support to Watch on Hang Seng Index
The Hang Seng Index is coiling. With price trapped between 25,800 resistance and 25,000 support, a massive move is brewing for the HSI.
Key Levels to Watch:
- Bullish: A daily close above 25,800 opens a fast rally to 27,047.
- Bearish: Losing the 24,800 floor signals a slide toward 24,087.
As global liquidity shifts, will the Hang Seng see a year-end “Santa Rally” or a January dip? Watch the 25,000 level; this structural pivot will determine the trend for early 2026.

Key Resistance Zones (Where rallies are capped)
Note: We used Volume Profile and anchored vWAPs to highlight price zones where the most trading has occurred since April 2025. These high-volume areas often act as key support or resistance levels.
25,800 – 25,900
- vWAP + POC of the decline since November
- Every push into this zone has stalled
- Sellers are clearly active here
If price accepts above this zone (daily close), upside opens quickly toward value expansion.
27,047 – VAH of the 2025 Rally
- Value Area High of the entire 2025 advance
- This is the real upside target, Hang Seng needs to break this level to keep expanding
Key Support Zones (Where buyers must defend)
24,800 – 25,000
- High Volume Node
- VWAP of the rally
- Psychological round number
- This is the structural bull support
As long as price holds here, this remains a bullish consolidation phase.
24,087 – VAL of the 2025 Rally
- If HVN fails, this becomes the next downside magnet
- Acceptance below here signals severe weakness in the rally
What the Structure Is Saying
- Lower highs have been pressing into vWAP resistance
- Higher lows still hold value support
- That equals coiling energy, not weakness
However, this resolves one of two ways:
Bullish Resolution
- Break and acceptance above 25,800
- Fast rotation toward 27,000 VAH
- Typical year-end liquidity behaviour supports this path
Bearish Resolution
- Failure + acceptance below 24,800
- Rotation toward VAL ~24,100
- This would likely happen early January, not late December
The Major Caveat
The vWAP of the entire rally remains untested. Large psychological levels like 25,000 HKD have a strong tendency to be revisited.
If price dips into this zone but quickly reclaims it, a fast recovery and squeeze higher would be structurally consistent with this chart.
China-Specific Fundamental Backdrop
China policy remains supportive but measured. Property stress has eased without turning into a growth engine, while global liquidity conditions quietly favour Asian equities. With sentiment still cautious, fundamentals are neutral-to-supportive and leave room for upside if price confirms.
Bottom line:
Fundamentals won’t push HSI higher on their own, but they won’t block a breakout either. Price confirmation is still the trigger.
