HSI settled at 23,919.50 (+1.67%), with HSI (+1.67%) leading relative strength and STI (+0.09%) absorbing the heaviest session distribution.
What Carried Through & What Changes for Tomorrow: Today's price action respected the outer Order Block boundaries on the majority of tracked setups, with HSI holding above structural demand while STI faced rejection near overhead supply. Going into the next session, watch the updated 50% Equilibrium pivots and Fair Value Gap (FVG) imbalances below — those levels define whether today's close transitions into trend continuation or a liquidity sweep reversal.

Research Desk Order Flow & Session Note
Desk tracking flags bearish displacement on Hang Seng (HSI) at 23,919.50 (+1.67%); the recent BOS at 25,089.14 keeps sellers in control across the Premium regime (23,363.79 midpoint). Any intraday retest into the 25,252.07–25,394.60 Bearish Order Block faces overhead distribution, with 22,803.77 acting as the primary downside magnet. An open Bearish Fair Value Gap (22,803.77–24,139.11) reinforces overhead supply on relief rallies. Session Follow-Up: Sellers defended overhead supply throughout the session; staying below 23,456.34 preserves the drawdown trajectory toward 24,234.45.
