Three Critical Factors That Will Determine the Market’s Next Move
The SSE Composite’s four-day winning streak has brought it within striking distance of the psychologically important 3,400 level, but Friday’s tepid ¥452.7 billion turnover and sector divergence suggest the breakthrough attempt may require stronger catalysts in the coming week.

Historical Context
The 3,400 level has served as both support and resistance in 2024:
- April: Rejected twice before breakthrough
- May: Held as support for 7 sessions
- Current: 4th test this quarter
Strategic Recommendation
- Conservative Traders: Wait for confirmed close above 3,400 with volume
- Active Traders:
- Buy pullbacks to 3,370 support
- Reduce exposure at 3,390-3,400
- Sector Focus:
- Overweight materials/energy
- Underweight consumer discretionary
The market’s ability to sustain above 3,400 will ultimately depend on whether policy catalysts can emerge to complement the current technical setup, particularly given brokerages’ role as a leading indicator for sustained rallies.
